Frankly, I am a pretty straight girl who is not going through any sort of teenage rebellion. I do not fight the norms of the society, and that has nothing to do with cowardice, but a genuine belief in that rebellion is unnecessary. If one chooses to be very blunt, one could characterize me as a typical “angel” or a “teacher’s pet”. I’m Martin from the Simpsons, minus the butt-kissing of course. I do not kiss butt. I do not kiss any bodypart inorder to achieve a goal or profit.
I am boring, that’s an undisputed truth. Nonetheless, there are minor things that I do which are not very conventional. For instance; I rarely wear a pair of socks that are identical. On a happy day, I would wear a red sock and a green sock. I find comfort in chaos. When reading a novel, I picture myself being the protagonist. Indeed, I have walked around in the streets of st. Petersburg calling myself Rashkalnikov, I have passionately kissed mr. Rochester, I have solved mysteries with Sherlock Holmes and I have defintely taken a tour around the world, in merely 80 days. I don’t wear make up. I am a tree hugger.
Unconventional, unorthodox, absurd, surreal or plain normal. You tell me?

Tree huggers are a danger to society!
lol…no, there is nothing abnormal about you. I never went through teenage rebellion b/cuz I didn’t need to. Only those teenagers who do not have a model guidance tend to rebel.
On the other hand, wearing two diff. color socks is a good indication that you are an abnormally weird person:)

Cant say i wear green socks with red…but black and white are my fav mixes. There’s something very iffy about wearing a pair of same color socks. Dont pay much mind to any who view that as being abnormal (cuz then that would make me abnormal too right? impossible! unheard of really..moi? abnormal? Nope cant be).
Trees need love too…hug away dear.
A bit of weird spices life up…dontcha think?
peace!

I am me, and thats all you have to accept. I accept everyone else the way they are!
I also used to think that other people are normal, when it is indeed normal to be abnormal. Its what defines our individuality.

Oh and I love gardening!
