more philosophy

my life seems pretty boring to me right now, so i shall continue a point i started yesterday.

normal. it doesn't make sense to me. i might just be weird, but...i think i've got a point here. people point fingers at popular people, and say, "they're normal," but they turn their finger on me and say, "she's weird." i'm not saying that i don't LIKE being weird. on the contrary. what i'm saying is, what makes some people normal and others not? this eludes me. no two people are exactly the same. even if they look alike, dress alike, and sound alike, they are still different on the inside. The differences are great enough that they could not be mistaken for the same person if they began to speak something other than, "hi, how are you?" an example here: my mother and i sound so alike on the phone, it's scary. it's driven my friends slightly mad when they call and think that they are talking to me, but are really talking to my mom. but even if we don't say who we are, they can figure out who they are talking to by the conversation. same thing when we chat online. my mom and i share a screenname, but my friends can figure out who they are talking to within minutes of us beginning to chat. mom and i sound alike, and we even look alike (a little). but we are each a distinct person, no matter the physical similarities.

so how are some people "normal" and "usual," but others not? we, humans, want to assert our individuality. so why do we strip away individuality to lump some people as "normal"? who sets the standard for normal? britney spears? anne hathaway? brad pitt? any other celebrity? if so, i don't WANT to be normal! they are horrible role models. i want to be my own person. i don't want to be the same; i want to be ME.

so if this means that i'm not normal, so be it.
