'You're weird'


I get told that by almost every person that gets to know me for more than a day or two... aka enough for them to realize the awkwardness is constant and not an act.

Its always said with a smile and that sort of flatters me. I joke back with them telling them that its better to be the black sheep than to just be part of the flock

That's funny, I'm just the opposite...the higher the death toll, the more it effects me personally. Oklahoma City Bombing - 167 people; oh boo hoo! Some one once even called me an insensitive bastard for saying that, and I didn't mind one bit!

It's when the death toll reaches over a thousand people in any event, then I consider it to be a tragedy. For instance, the Titanic sinking and 9/11...those were tragedies, not those piddly little bombings where less then a hundred people get killed...

No...actually, there was one small thing that really made me sick...several years ago in the UK, a madman broke into a school and killed 11 kindergarten-aged children, then himself. When a tragedy involves mostly children that had barely begun to live...that's what I save my tears for.

Strange, I know...but I feel flattered when people say that I have a weird sense of judgment on what's a tragedy and what's not...

Some called me "snake eyes" (I have a very yellow-green eye color) once when I accidently hit a girl in 5th grade.
Considering that I was in a Catholic school at the time, it probably went further than just insulting my eye color.
However, I know it was offense, but it felt like a compliment since I've always liked reptiles... (I'm obsessed witht he image of the dragon)

I don't like when people call me "honey." I find it a put down.
