Weirdos...

[chibi-master]

So I finally came out of the closet and all of the sudden I'm being harrassed by boys. There's a guy in my history class that always looks at me and then nods his head like his looking up and down at me or agreeing with something I didn't even say... Then there's a guy with a mouth full of metal and a perm in karate that always stares at me funny and he laughs like a donkey... And just yesterday a guy in my math class started following me around when I leave for the next period. He told me today about how he likes to start fires.

So this brings up a question: What are some weirdos you've seen and why were they weird?

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Wow, to easy, just some of my friends are this way. My best friend is weird. He's just out there. He chases laser lights and bouncy balls like a cat, and worse yet, he has run into a wall or two with the laser light part. So yeah. Weird. But than again, it doesn't say much about me when I do it too does it? XD[/FONT][/COLOR]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I went to a picnic in Maryland this summer to meet people from the InTeRnEt (so no one was bound to be weird, right? HEH).

Anyway, it was really neat. But there was this guy there who was taking pictures. He had a long, scraggly beard, lives in his mother's basement, & was a tall, lanky fellow.
...& he was fascinated with taking pictures of me. He put them up on Facebook, & I'm in about half of them. He followed me up to my hotel room later. It was odd.

Mer.




But fo rills. Since I got to college, I've decided no one is "normal" anymore.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Normality has become abnormal in many ways. Nowadays nobody seems to want 2.5 children and a house with a white picket fence (well I do, but not very many do).

Its just the way of the world, and I have to say Taperson if you don't expect a full 80% of the people you meet on the inernet to be similar to your new friend then you haven't seen very many teenage comedies (computer nerds always live in their parents basement...or have awesome rooms with crazy tech gadgets.)

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Wait, how....

No, nevermind. I should probably leave this one be.[/FONT]

Who ever said anything about normality? I'm just talking about people that are out of your comfort zone.

For example: That guy that told me about his fire-starting habits. Apparently, he thinks the fact that my head has received so many injuries lately is attractive. THAT is WAAAY out of my comfort zone.

Once you hit University, you will realize everyone is weird in their own way no exceptions. They just hid it better in HS IF they hid it.

Just based on an average is the obvious answer.

More fun answer would be it would be deliciously abnormal to try and figure out which half of the third child to keep. Upper, lower, left, right, front, back?

And Chibi when I say Normality I'm saying what you consider not weird. Sure I used it in a different spin, pointing out that it used to be "weird" or "abnormal" to not want the suburban lifestyle, when nowadays suburbia is becoming a thing of the past and "weird" or "abnormal" is becoming the norm.

...huh. This thread makes me think about all the people who looked at me and said the same thing. What a freaking weirdo. And I don't mean that in a self-edifying, it's-cool-to-be-weird kinda way. More like pathetic. You know, smelling like puke with guy-liner smeared across my face in a community college class... kinda way. Since I graduated high school, a lot of people who used to be my classmates have approached me, either in person or on the god awful internet, and told me how they thought I was going to shoot up the school or die of a meth overdose (erm, whichever comes first, I guess?) It kinda makes me mad. I never did meth. :/

Anyway, I've got to say I've met more weirdos in the past 7 months (since joining the Navy) than I have in my entire life. Hey, I even met that fire-starter of yours. Big backwoods guy who was known for his crazy bonfire parties. The biggest bonfire's you've ever seen. Only bigger. Real big. Bigger than burning man. Much bigger. So big, a police officer decided not to arrest him for it out of sheer admiration. And offered him his daughter. That's what he said and I'll swear to it.

[size=1]This cracks me up. "A bunch of people have come up to me and said they thought I would shoot of a school or die of a meth overdose. This pisses me off. Sure, I shot up a couple schools in my time, but [i]darn it all[/i], I [b]never[/b] did meth."[/size]

And that surprised you how?

[Dhampir]

There is a very famous homeless man in Richmond... and most Richmonders have seen him or heard him at least once. He's an old black man, riding his bike around the city with all of his possessions packed onto the bike. All he does, is bike and quack. Loudly. Constantly. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen.

[Jabberwocky]

[FONT="Palatino Linotype"]Haha, weirdos are weird! Anyways I've ran into a few. There's this one kid in my class who's weird as hell. Since I came out in 8th grade he always says "What's up" to me. Its kind of weird because he's never made fun of me, just said what's up at awkward times. Well, one day I got breakfast downstairs before 1st period English. Well when I'm done eating my large ammount of toast (our school's toast is amazing, buttery and well... amazing) I threw my tray away. Well, I didn't eat ALL of the toast, there was some crust left. Well anyways, this kid goes "Did you like your breakfast?" Well, I said yes... then he said "You didn't eat your crust."

So, he apparantly didn't pay attetion to his work, he watched me eat toast... So I said "That's weird you watched me eat?" Anyways, he kept denying it. My best friend thinks he has a guy crush on me, and I kind of agree. Well, at least he's not bad looking, he's actually got a nice body.

Then, there's my distant cousin. He's just... to put it in lamens terms... gay. He's always doing awkward things to me, and one time he even grabbed my hand and put it on his crotch. Now, you might think he's kidding. But when he laughed at it and said not to tell anyone... I got creeped out. I came out to him too and he didn't show any hate. Well, apparantly he's forgotten about because when I see him and we go to his room, he wants to wrestle with me.

Either I'm taking thing's waaaaaay too seriously... or my cousin's out for me. Thank god we're not blood related. :animesigh[/FONT]

[SIZE=1]I believe TVTropes answers the question rather adequately:

[quote][I]Lesbians are porn efficient. It's sex with a greater density of women. Porn wise, lesbians are like a jam sandwich without the sandwich and just the jam. [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Metaphorgotten"]In fact, lesbians are just a big blob of jam.[/URL] Well, not actually. [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiggingYourselfDeeper"]Unless they've exploded in all the lesbonic excitement.[/URL][/I][/quote]Also includes a diagram to further explain the prior concept:

Can't say I know alot of guys that do... but I agree with the rest of the statement.

I've adjusted to the fact that most of my engineering brethren are a bit...awkward to say the least. There's this one guy that struck me as weird the first time I talked to him, I've avoided him becasue well...he makes typical engineers seem like the most socially adjusted people on the planet.

Well this time he finally sprung through the ranks as one of the oddest people I've ever met. There were ten of us in our engineering mathematics course standing outside waiting for our instructor to let us in.

One of the nursing program students went walking by, and somehow he got it in his head that it was a good idea to bust out a "pickup line"...Well he walked up next to one of the girls and went old school. "Mam (yes he called an 18 year old nursing student maam) do I know you?"

God bless him he continued following her down the hallway even after she told him to leave her alone.

Now you're wondering what is weird about that, well when he wandered back to our group we joked with him about crashing and burning. He proceeded to tell us he'd been following her for a week now and finally had to talk to her (he explained how he REALLY meant followed and would pursue her down the hallway.)

Well when somebody told him his..."methods" were "stalkerish" he proceeded to agree and say it was the only way he could ever get a girl. He'd follow them for weeks at a time and try and figure out what they like and what kind've person they are (and yes where they lived) and would create a conversation in his mind that would encompass all this.

being crazy myself i really shouldnt talk, buuut my friend had a manager that miscaried her child, she didnt want the hospital to just throw it away so she kept the stilborn child.. but she didnt bury it, she put it in her freezer.... and still has the thing...

I dont know hoow you can even use a freezer with dead babies in it (unless you plan on eating them.... which still makes you wierd in my book)

oh, and about the lesbian thing being attractive, I dont know if it has anything to do with it... I dont know what you look like... but did you ever consider that you are just.... good looking?

*stare* The majority of guys I knew growing up seemed to have a delightful time explaining to me EXACTLY HOW I was not attractive and never would be. But thank you for the suggestion.:animesmil

EDIT: I forgot to mention... The fire-starting-stalker-guy seems to have found out that I was at the doctor's office last week. He wanted to know if my head was feeling better after seeing te doctor (I mentioned that he likes my head injuries). I never told him I went to the doctor. How do you tell a stalker to back off? *whimper*

If it was after school, though, that is odd. I'd just ask him how he knew. It's better than fretting about it.[/size]
