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.

Zander

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

<---- normal human being

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.

Boo

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

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"

2kids1headache

I'm on stimulants.

Plan9Senior

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.

water_boy1999

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.

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*

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.

ARTelevision

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.

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.

ARTelevision

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 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.

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.
