But isn't that delightful. Who wants to live in a world filled with cookie cutter "normal" people?<br /><br />Of course, I can live without those truly evil weirdos who hurt people, but I haven't encountered too many of them in my lifetime (thanks goodness).Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-90347848560624058392015-12-20T17:53:57.406-08:002015-12-20T17:53:57.406-08:00I teach middle school.

Pretty much framed my personality. Now that I am an "old bumpy guy" like I call me and Scrappy, I don't care what "they" think, and I can be weird for sheer entertainment.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-21222496415772754422015-12-18T12:11:59.649-08:002015-12-18T12:11:59.649-08:00Weird is a misused word or a definition in progres...Weird is a misused word or a definition in progress. I had a coworker friend who would say everyone who disagreed with her was weird. Imagine that if you will with the diphthong fully pronounced and dragged out in a Southern accent.<br />Anyway, I would say eclectic is how you describe yourself. We are all unique. Some a little more unique than others.Ann Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759967601352382204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-72516154290799252015-12-18T08:12:54.171-08:002015-12-18T08:12:54.171-08:00Oh I KNOW I'm weird.

I did my own thing and didn't really care if it wasn't popular. Like my punk rock years in high school. I took a lot of crap from my classmates for being weird. But the funny thing is, when everyone joined Facebook and friended me, I got a few messages from people saying that they always admired how I wasn't afraid to be myself in those days and they were just trying to go along w/ everyone else. So there you go. And I saw and experienced a lot of good weirdness during my Grateful Dead years too. Good times.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-55225935258955675862015-12-18T05:01:55.179-08:002015-12-18T05:01:55.179-08:00mission of strangeness
