This is random thought as I viewed the postings on the tribe, but I remember this chick in high school who, after everyone had to read their own poem, said to me "Why do you have to be so weird? Why can't you just act normal?"
I just looked at her and said "Then I'd have to wear a New Kids on the Block shirt like you and scribble I love so-and-so on my notebook cover with a glitter pen. No thanks."
I've always prided myself on being off the beaten track. Strange is good.

Re: Weirdo Pride
Fri, March 5, 2004 - 6:44 AMHeh, I was the one in school that was looked up to be weirdos and normals alike. I had "friends" on the cheer leading team (mainly because the rich cheerleaders got the best cocaine) and friends with people that the school accused of calling in bomb threats. But even the thought of trendy sent shivers down my spine, and still does.

Fri, March 5, 2004 - 7:01 AMHey, I thought the "normal" heteros already took the horrible sweaters bit? If not someone really needs to tell my English professor that he needs new, less horrible, sweaters. -

Re: Weirdo Pride
Fri, March 5, 2004 - 8:16 AMTodd, you're my Weirdo Hero for the week. I was always the weird kid who had horrible grades but was always in the 99th percentile on standardized tests. I didn't dress like anyone else, my glasses always got bent somehow so they were always half way down my nose, and I was never an expert in anything. At 13, I was calling my peers conformists. And to this day, I have no regrets. Otherwise I might be shopping at Walmart, or listening to Snoop Dog, or tlkng lk dis -

Re: Weirdo Pride
Fri, March 5, 2004 - 8:30 AMSounds like me when I was in high school. Never made great grades but scored on the SAT yada yada. I had glasses in elementary and got called "Professor." When everyone else in the class was writing poems about trees and flowers, I was writing about monsters, blood, and weird sexual shit. The teachers loved me, too! -

Re: Weirdo Pride
Fri, March 5, 2004 - 8:33 AMTeachers loved me too! I had my first time with my teachers. Well that's not really true. But my teachers did love me. -

Re: Weirdo Pride
Fri, March 5, 2004 - 9:54 AMI was an angry, weird kid. My teachers hated me, for the most part. Every once in a while I would get a cool teacher that got me. In high-school I managed to send my narcoleptic algebra teacher to a stress unit and got my interior design teacher (who was also the cheerleading coach *and* dated the football coach ~puke!) to pull me out into the hallway, shake me, and ask me why I was such a little bitch. Ha! I bet she laid awake at night bothered by the fact that she lashed out at me. Heee, hee! She should have never let me know I could get to her like that. It made the rest of the year very fun for me and gut wrenching for her. I just really didn't want to be there when I was in school. I didn't feel challenged. I skipped a lot, but somehow didn't get into much trouble for it. As much as my teachers didn't like me, the vice principals at my school were pretty cool with me. I think they were just glad that I was an intelligent delinquent with a good sense of humor and not the stupid punks they were used to dealing with. Catching me in the parking lot on the way to my car actually became a sort of game for me and one vp, Mr.Colona. I'm so glad those days are over and I've blossomed into the wonderful, happy weirdo I am today. -

Re: Weirdo Pride
Fri, March 5, 2004 - 12:22 PMThat's fucking awesome! I loved getting to teachers like that. Like some punk kid like you could be so grating that it actually causes a grown woman to assault you and call you a bitch.
School fucking sucks for the most part, but I think in some ways it's healthy for weirdos. The stifling "be like everyone else or you are a loser" atmosphere forces you to discover the truly weird and wonderful things about yourself.
Laugh all you want at my thrift store kilt! At least I know that my dad didn't have to work a double to pay for a fucking Benneton sweater!! HA! HA! HA! HA! -

Re: Weirdo Pride
Thu, April 20, 2006 - 8:40 AMThe reason cheerleaders exist is because without them there wouldent be any good upskirt pic,s would there? Everyone has a place on this planet and their place is to produce upskirt pics. I,m proud that im a `` weirdo´´ You see, i think normal people are weirdos. I just cant understand how they can lack a soul and personality.. they must think sometime? Mayby they are aliens invading us and we are the normal ones with our own mind? They are all in this conspiracy, and to identify each other they follow for example trends. All the normal people get,s these secret messages in their mailbox saying, this year the fashion will go in yellow clothes, and you need to wear an uggly hat. In this way they can keep track of their own alien kind. All my life practically everyone thinks im weird, since i do things my own way. In the end it turns out my ways are better, and then everyone starts to monkey after me. I have also noticed that more intelligent people do things their own way, and less intelligent ones tend to stay with their heard. So if people say `` ur weird´´ well.. oops somone farted some brainless chatter.. It,s not their fault, it,s just their lack of understanding and intellect. Power to the weird! -

Re: Weirdo Pride
Fri, April 28, 2006 - 7:45 AMExactly.
There's a fine line between "weird" and "genius" and sometimes the lines of each overlap and blur or the observer simply can't see the lines at all. -

Re: Weirdo Pride
Sat, December 23, 2006 - 10:21 AMFor my purposes, acting "weird" is necessary for my creative process. If I decide I don't want to be creative anymore, I'll just start acting "normal."
