I’ve said it before...
 | Current mood:  fabulous Category: Life It's not the crazy people I worry about... it's the people who continually deny that they're crazy who concern me. Then again, I love how Matchbox 20 puts it, "I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell." Acknowledging your faults is freeing. Recognizing, acknowledging, discussing (and most importantly) being comfortable with the not-so normal things about yourself is a blessing. People are already saying you're this or that behind your back, or at the very least they're thinking it, why not acknowledge it and be okay with it? Now I'm not talking about sin. We shouldn't be okay with our sin. If you have a drinking problem (or in my case an eating problem) that's not something you should glory in. Can you imagine this at an AA meeting? "So I'm an alcoholic! I embrace it. It's a gift! I'm happy with me!!!" (Yeah, not so much.) I know it's an addiction, but addictions - chemical or emotional - are HERE because of SIN in the world. We shouldn't take pleasure in anything sinful or anything rooted in sin... did I just say the same thing twice? I am weird. There, I said it. I've always been weird. I talk in funny voices and accents, even when no one else is around. I make up stupid songs about things like poop and dead birds and I sing them to my nephews just because it makes them laugh. I goose people in the rear (people that I'm close to, of course) as we're walking in the mall and then pretend I didn't do it. I make fart noises with my mouth when I'm in quiet places. Poop jokes make me laugh so hard I cry. Sometimes I sing WAY off key just because it's freakin' hilarious. When I was in college I prank called people and pretended I was a gay hispanic man who was looking for his boyfriend. I also pretended like I was an Asian pizza shop owner whose delivery guy couldn't find the right dorm room. I pretend like I'm eating my 9 year old nephew's arm, just like I used to do with my 22, 20, 13, and 12 year old nephews... and my nieces, too. I get momentarily freaked about things then get over it like it didn't happen. I get temporarily ticked off at people for being mean and then five minutes later I'm telling them they're dorks and I'll kick their butts if they do it again. I can be needy one day and then leave you alone for 10 days in a row. I can eat coconut on anything and I've never met a cup of coffee that I couldn't drink - no matter how nasty it tasted - as long as the cup was clean. I'm weird and I think it's great. I think you're weird, too, and I think YOU'RE great. |
