Normality itself is completely redundant.

I see the world differently than most people.
I like stranger things than most people.
I don't like the idea of being a carbon-copy of the rest of the world.
I'm stubborn and opinionated and I either don't shut up or don't say 5 words all day.
I completely understand that very few people actually understand me. I'd bet that quite a few think they do. It's only the few people I'm closest to that get me at all. And I think I even surprise them more often than not.
I usually forgive easily, but I never, ever forget when someone's done something to require forgiveness.
I often phrase things so oddly that people have to read a sentence four times to comprehend it.
And I don't see why anyone would want to be normal.
Because really, what is 'normal'?
One's outlook on the world and it's inhabitants can be so utterly different from another's. How can anyone truly define what 'normal' is? If you think about it - really think about it - it's like the ultimate question. Almost tied with 'the meaning of life' question.
Why be what the world says you should be? So you'll be well-liked? Negative. You'll be criticized worse than before.
I, in all honesty, don't see the point.
You're not going to be happy. And then you wind up just waiting for things to crash around you.
I'm taking this from an email I just sent to a friend, but I said it better there anyway.
If you sit waiting for something to screw everything else up, then of course nothing good is going to come of it. You can't just wait for things to fall apart. If it happens, it happens. But letting it isn't going to make anything else any better. Take the good things as they come, and just learn to deal with the bad ones.You'll regret it more if you don't, than trying to brace yourself for what may never come.

Well. Someone's feeling moody today XD. What happened to get you all cynical-like, eh?

You're right though. There's no point in trying to be someone else, because besides the fact that everyone will just dislike you more, you'll dislike yourself, and that would certainly suck.

There's no way to define normality (or normalcy?). What's normal to one person is not to another. It's all pure opinion and therefore there is no one, stable normal ground.

Yeah, you sound like me though ... there are ... and I'm actually counting right now ... three people who really get me, maybe you as well, who knows. My mom and my brothers I know for certain 'get' me though, probably because I'm constantly around them. Everyone else, all joking aside, thinks I'm slightly insane because of the way I act, my hating everyone deal, and my extreme anti-socialness ... my mom and brothers just laugh it off though. XD

I get you, or maybe I just think I do ... is there ever a real way to know if you 'get' someone? With me, you either know you know me, or you think I'm insane. There just is no middle ground. It's about how you think to understand how I think. It just takes a certain amount of perspective to understand the complexity that is I.

XD

And that's my philosophical moment of the month.

Being 'Normal' means you have to conform. RETARDED! Screw that.

'Normal' also means that if you do exactly what the other plastics do, life will be so sweet with cherries on top. RETARDED! I'm perfectly fine with not being a barbie.

'Normal' is just another label to me.

Manda: Only a bit. Was thinking about it yesterday for a while. x]
Everything was just annoying the hell out of me yesterday.
I'm right? I'm not sure I've ever heard those words from you.
[Normality, normalcy, both words] Honestly, I think everything's opinion. Think about it. How much is really set in stone? That the sun comes up and goes down every day? That could change. It's just a scientific guess. An opinion.
My mom pretty much gets me. My dad sometimes. My sisters, probably not as much. I really don't know about them. Otherwise it's mostly Abbey, Jordan, probably you, and a few other people.
I think...the only thing I can come up with to know if you know someone is this: And it's really not if you know them. It's basically them knowing that you know them. When someone knows you better than you know yourself.
I'm fairly sure I understand you. XD But who knows?

Cianna: I agree with most of it, apart from noraml being just another stereotype. I think it's more than that, but I totally get what you mean.

Cici: Yeah, Barbie's suck XP.

Meg: Mark it on the calendar. I don't say it much to anyone. x]
Hey cool, if everything's opinions, I've got the whole world figured out XD.
I'm fairly certain that I get you, as long as you're not secretly moonlighting as a porn star or anything. Then yes, I get you. XD

Haha, yeahhh not quite XD
I think we can safely say that you've more or less got me pegged
