So, what do you call yourself?
 

From the list above, choose the one that fits you best. "Other" means something that's not on the list, but definitely not "just normal".

I'd also like to ask that we all put a little something about our self-acknowledged "category" in here. Have fun!

I am Goth. Many of you already know that. I do the whole nine yards, including fingernail paint, but I don't do the face makeup. I love who I am, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

As others have called me, I am "fucking odd."

<---- normal human being

Do I have to say?

Before I answer I'd like to know what an 'Emo' is.

Normal with a twist. :confused:

emo is a fuzzy red muppit

I'm an odd mix of bits and pieces, but so are we all.

So I'm normal I would say :)

hmmm...I chose the nerd/geek option, but I'm not a computer geek...more of a "I love Buffy and hang out in bookstores and go to local music festivals" kind of geek. *shrug*

I'm not ashamed to say that I am a very normal guy and I ain't apologising

:D

I'm more of what I'd call a sociable nerd/geek whatever.

I can be just like anyone else w/out looking like some nerd/geek around non-nerd/geeks. :)

I'm none of the above, although I've been most of the above at some point in my life.

I am a meat popsicle.

<--note self assesment

I'm old and gray wife dosen't give it up have three grand kids
still haven't grown up love porn and women booze and smoke.
Figure I'll die in a decade or so had a good time Had a lot of bad times. So what does that make me?

SEE AVATAR!!!!

Well, it's a hard choice. I think I'm becoming a nerd, just because I now carry a palm, and an mp3 player, and gaming at home... But I'm a punk rocker at heart. Well, I'm sort of normal too. I can't figure me out, I'll ask my wife.

Whats normal any more? All the normals I know are near to collecting social security.

I'm a theatre 'geek', but that didn't fit with your other geekish labels

I said "Other, not normal, not wierd, something else", I don't really see the difference between that and "none of the above, but not normal" though.
I smoke pot, but it's not something that defines me, I have geekish tendencies. I dress kinda skater, kinda preppie. I've even got some 'Jock' in me. I have friends that fit into most of those categories.
If I had to call myself something though, It'd be "Gourmand", which I guess could translate to "Food geek"

I'm on stimulants.

If you consciously are labeling yourself then chances are you really aren't "that" but just trying to be something you aren't. That being said, I am a totally normal human being.

What is normal to one, may be abnormal to another. With that, I would say normal with a twist of stoner, a smudge of preppie, a tidbit of a nerd, and a mish mosh of the rest.

And all these years I thought I was the only one. :)
Except I am a bit of a computer geek too.

Yeah, me too. Most people who know me well know that I'm into computers and fantasy, and other typically 'geeky' things, but I'm never really labeled as a geek by people who've just meet me. *shrug*

I'm a gamer / wigga

Plan9, very well stated.

Someone's been watching The Fifth Element. :)

And as far as consciously labelling myself, I don't think it's so odd to be comfortable with who and what you are, and have a good idea of your own outward image.

Interesting thought, though.

Yes, of course, being comfortable with oneself is good.

To my way of thinking, "normal" gets a bad rap.
We are mostly normal and we like to think we are different or special or unique. I mistrust self-image things because our self images are exactly what is manipulated out of sight by mass-media mind control.

A little bit emo

Well, this thread didn't go well.

Im pot smoker, but def not normal. Pretty outdoorsy, fairly active, and most people would say I was normal. Then again, 99.9999% of people never see how my head works... after they do, normal isnt usually what they describe me as... Fucking whacked a lot of times.

I think it's ok to discuss implications of a question that are directly relevant to the question. I mean it's in Discussion and not Nonsense...

Thread's fine w me...

i'm just a nice, happy guy.
i've never felt i identify with any of those stereotypes.

i guess i'm just bundy.

Headbanger, Metalhead, Gamer, whatever. I really don't mind labels because I am happy with who I am.

I definitely know that my personal perception does not match that of most folks that know me. Most either totally love me or totally despise me, while I spend most of my time somewhere in the middle ground.
I do find myself feeling a bit jealous of those who are secure enough to label themselves as "normal." "Normal" is usually that other guy, who I secretly wish I were more like.
If I could define a real distinction between the last two of the choices, I might pick one of those.

None of the above...yet all of the above at the same time...is that weird?:confused:

none of the above. I have yet to meet anyone even remotely similar to me. :)

most of the above. Bits and pieces of lots of that, plus much of myself can't be quantified in any of those stereotypes. I'm unique, like everyone else.

I'm me. Depending on whether you go by my current self, my past self, what I dress like, what I act like, what I think like, the kind of girls I go after, the music I listen to, I hit every one of those categories.

Trying to label myself is about as easy as trying to cram my hyper, unflexible 6'8" self into a 3-foot cube. Sure, it's possible if you try hard enough, but it really isn't worth the effort, and all it does is casue soreness and grumpiness.

Categorizing me makes as much sense as the way a clean-shaven, short-haired agnostic came to be nicknamed "Jesus." Sure, it happened, but it's not logical.

i'm a geek.

i picked other. i am what i am. problem is i don't know what 'i am'. just when i think i'm something, it turns out i'm not. so as soon as i figure out what i am, i'll be sure to let you know.

What's the category for an adrenaline-seeking, time-wasting, snappy-dressing(!), well-spoken, male-pattern-balding, metal-crunch-loving smoker, then?
Perhaps I'm just a Wild Thomas William.

I might say I'm a tad geeky just cause if someone says something that sounds remotely curious about an occurance (for example hears a power stearing belt squeeling and comments on "what's wrong with that car") then I'll offer an explanation or go look it up. Most of the time they aren't really looking for an answer either it seems. Had roommates in college who thought I was pretty geeky. I don't think of it that way much. I'm just a mom. Not exactly with mainstream ideas but still mainstream motivation - raise my kid up right.

I'm mostly a regular mom with just a little creamer of geek. ;)
