Aren't we all a little strange?

i am very very strange:))i love the way i am

I'm just weird!

I love being, "Creative." So if I'm strange, I'm liking it.http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977080041

Okay, Popeye. You are right there with me.

I am perfectly normal and a model for all to emulate. :)

I'm not a little bit stranger. I'm a LOT bit strange!!!

I have learned that you ARE cretive... I totally enjoy your postings, creative as they are!! Merry Christmas from my home to yours!!

I like that creative idea. I'm not sure what I am yet.

My doctor says I am an enigma - in 1985 I was given 6 months to live... I am still here (and the doctors don't know why or how)!
I see and hear things.... I talk to animals... and they 'talk' back.
I am creative, emphatic, sympathetic, the person that everyone else (complete strangers) tell their life stories too.
For Christmas Eve doings yesterday... I couldn't decide whether to wear the red reindeer sox or the green santa sox - I wore one of each. (And told everyone I had another pair just like it at home!!!)
I drove a flaming car 55 miles home from my sisters. Blew out the catalytic converter - was shooting 2 to 3 foot flames at times (according to my daughter following me in another vehicle). While my two granddaughters, who insisted on staying in vehicle with me - grandson bailed at first opportunity - sat in the back playing "if I survive and you don't - give my ---- to so and so". NIIIICCCCEEE!
I did go so far as to instruct all to unbuckle seatbelts - if we had to bail, didn't want anyone getting stuck behind. One granddaughter instructed 'someone' to grab her taco bell food. Daughter in passenger seat was worried about gas tank blowing - I calmly informed her 'its on the other side.' Both of us full well knowing it goes all the way across - behind the on fire converter!!! (I found out later it is plastic - which may have deterred my bravery had I known).
I just couldn't see leaving my beautiful new used car on the side of the road on Christmas Eve with all the crazies out and about and miles from home, on fire, no less.
I know I am stubborn (my Aries heritage).
I was also raised to believe I could do or be anything I wanted to be - to not be afraid of anything - to make my own path - as someone above stated, made me a bit of a misfit, but I am ME! And I do love ME!

I am kooky, quirky, eccentric, etc. I wear it as a badge of honor:)

Strangely enough, I am eccentrically inclined to be creative yet pragmatic enough to know that I am oddly a bit different than most! Hmm, did I just write that? Gee, I did, didn't I! Oh, and I talk to myself!

I admit it.... I am strange and proud of it. LOL

I'm an odd ball for sure! I am also eccentic to a degree and save and collect junk, or stuff, for later uses. I read Tarot Cards, I believe in ghosts. I am creative as well on many different levels.

My Father use to weed his lawn with his good Putter what do you mean strange LOL

I definitely march to the beat of my own drummer. I have always been different than the norm. I guess that's because I don't know what the norm is. Doesn't bother me.

I think my difference lies in my ability to be quite happy all by myself. I like nothing better than to be alone, to have the freedom to dream and be creative and let my own natural rhythms rule my actions. Unfortunately I have to put on a "normal" persona to go to work and to function around other people, but I feel like I am play-acting--the real me is an eccentric loner who, like Nana, walks to her own inner music.

My seventh grade English teacher gave me the best advice ever: Different is beautiful. Who wants to live in a world of cookie-cutter people? Granted, there are some aspects of my personality I show at work that I don't show at home and visa versa. And there's a few sides my mother has yet to see. (And thank God, a few sides only she has seen...like the temper tantrums I was famous for at age 3.)

Carol, be yourself and be proud!

Thanks for sharing.

I like being different. That way there isn't another one like me. LOL! I wish I could hear others talk (ghosty wise, perferably my mom - I miss her). I think everyone says I'm different because I know my inner child! And I let her out. I wear my heart on my sleeve (as painful as that can be at times). I cry at things the people here write, movies and tv commercials! I grew up in a house that had a collage of magazine pictures covering the entire bathroom walls, one bedroom - Lime green, one bedroom - Orange orange and another bedroom - deep deep purple with pink trim. The stairwell to the basement was an electric yellow and the livingroom and dinning room where kinda in "colonial" style! Can we talk DIFFERENT! My parents where nudist and I had to knock on the door when I brought my friends home so as not to "surprise" MY FRIENDS .... LOL!
Welcome welcome all you "different" people. What fun would it be if we weren't?

I knew I liked you Carol, please won't you let me in to see the Wizard?

uh,uh,carol...no way!!! i am the QUEEN of strange....don't make me PROVE it,lol!!!!
i take my doors off to feel safe....wear socks, not shoes....jammies to the store, sleep in my fancy christian dior dress,live outside, not in....I WIN!!! :)

I have always been proud of being Different, or strange. I am glad of it.

I've always been weird. My family called me that, my friends call me that, I think everyone thinks I'm weird. I've tried being "normal" to fit in, but quickly went nuts. The "normal" of my family was just downright boring. How can you live your entire life with nothing more interesting to talk about than what you ate for dinner last night and what happened on the soap opera? Because I like math...I'm weird. Because I read SF...I'm weird. Because see associations in things that others don't see...I'm weird.

I keep hunting for that group of weird people I can fit into, but so far I've been too weird for any of them.

Penni ... you sleep outside?

Hmm. age 50ish, college degree, worked in accounting for 20 years or so, now delivering pizza for a living, by my own choice. Some would find that a bit odd.

I'd say penni wins this round.

Boy, now I feel normal. That's scary. Penni, by far, the winner and still champ. I sleep indoors and wear shoes outside.

I don't think there's a person who's ever known me who hasn't said I am nuts, at least once!

yep, OUTSIDE, barbara...haven't been sick since i started, about 6 years now, haven't been attacked once, as i was when SAFELY IN my home....i LOVE it,lol.


Carol, i am sensing a new group here...the "STRANGE ONES" gonna start it,lol???

I'm just weird in general, Carol. :-)

But, Penni definitely wins. LOL
