Are You Weird or Normal?

Trollheart · 04-19-2013, 10:27 AM

Perhaps it's more a case of how people view you that qualifies you as weird or normal, to use two totally catchall phrases. People would think I am weird because I'm quiet, I don't drink, I don't have a girlfriend or social life (even before becoming a carer) and I have an odd sense of humour. Like Batlord I talk to myself (and my cats); usually if I'm watching TV I can say things like "Go away I hate you stupid ad" or "Why did he do that? That was not a good idea" though there is clearly nobody there to say it to. Also I think about weird stuff (see my threads on Alternate Uinverses and the last days of Earth) and quote TV programmes a lot, something most people don't get.

My obsessions would seem odd too. Music certainly, but also an almost pathological hatred of bad spelling (how funny is that? When I wrote spelling I misspelled it!) grammar and use of syntax. Even now I'm reading a book for my sister and getting annoyed every time I come across an error which I feel should have been caught before publication. I shout at birds too --- "Shut the hell up tweeting! I'm trying to sleep here!" etc --- and hate repeating myself, particularly when writing. I call Jesus "your buddy" when talking to my sis and also "Hay-soos" and cannot let any sort of hypocrisy slide. I can also hold a grudge forever, but then again I can easily forgive.

Yeah, I think people would find me weird. Me, I know the truth: it's them that are all crazy, I'm the only sane one among them. Well, me and my pet battery...

Oh I totally talk to my animals. They probably think I'm nuttier than a fruit cake. Those bastards.

AND of course they're planning to steal your eyes while you sleep. DO NOT EVER go to sleep without your shades! I'm serious: do you know what those bastards can sell human eyes for on the feline black market? Shudder.

If what we do when we're drunk factored into this then there wouldn't be a speck of normality in anyone.

True, but I should clarify that, when I say I was drinking I don't mean just that night, I mean that I was actively pursuing the life-consuming activity of alcoholism. I've been sober for 18 years. Otherwise I would almost certainly be in my grave by now.

I've spent the better part of fifteen or twenty minutes just holding forth in front of my bathroom mirror. And I don't really pay attention to whether I'm saying it in my head or out loud, so I'm sure I'm basically just spewing out barely comprehensible sentence fragments much of the time. And I don't laugh that much in general even though I'm all about humor, but when I'm imagining funny things in my head I'll laugh myself horse. Since I'm mostly at home this doesn't affect me much, but I'm sure if I did this in public people would assume that I was insane.

No, No, not insane just off your medication...

"OK, I'm insane! But I'm still sane enough to know it!"

+1 if you get the reference

+2 if you used Google to find out that it was Leela from Futurama.
