But I ain't really that normal to begin with. With normal comes a form of boring, and I dismiss it..
Do I pride myself in being weird?? Do I stress the fact that I'm weird?? Do I try to be weird for the sake of being different??
No. But I do admire it. I'm not going to force myself to being considered "normal", or try to conform for that matter..
I love my weirdness. But then...people have the notion of the term "weird" being defined solely as "odd" or "bizarre". Words aren't as one-dimensional as one may think. Think of the ambiguity one creates when they call a girl "bad". "Bad" in itself carries a negative connotation, but when used in certain slang, it carries a positive connotation. Yeah, bad idea to use slang as an example lol. But semantic ambiguity is very common..
So....with all that being said, when I speak of being weird, I put a little more focus on the "different from standard or norm" definition. You know, where some antonyms would be as such: normal, regular, common.
To me, weird = interesting. And just like the quote I stated, being "normal" can be pretty boring. I know when I meet somebody new, I want to find certain traits or aspects of them that differs from the general population.
Weird people are cool, and I know a lot of them. Some don't like being characterized as weird, but fuck it, not everybody likes to grasp the notion of weird being a synonym of interesting.
Ummm..I may add more to this post, or make a new post related to this, who knows?? I'm weird :p..
