If they want to think that, they can justify it any way they want, since subconsciously they won't accept their "normalities" (assuming that's a pseudoword of some sort). Maybe I would be classified in a grey area if I said "I don't know who P.G. Wodehouse is, but I'd like to learn"?

I know enough about computers to spend all my free time here, and that's about it. I don't read sci-fi... I'M pretty abnormal when it comes to RinkyDinks (Of course, all my above examples are generalisations on other RinkyDinks, and I DO realise that, and I'm sorry...) I don't know. I think I'm a misfit here, in a way, which makes it interesting, because I'm not anywhere else.

The way I see it, you're going to be different no matter how much you try. And since nobody's exactly the same, everybody's a misfit (sorry, that's just the way I think). What the heck does NORMAL mean anyway? Is normal just the average of the deviance, as I read it somewhere I can't remember?

I don't really think I'm a stereotypical teenager either, but that's probably me being self-centered again.

(P.G. Wodehouse is an author, and you will do yourself a favor by reading his books. :^>)
