Share it  Monday, March 26, 2012  Why (Not) Be Normal?  (Image
from activist Tom Beatie's website: )  Lately, I've been
noticing a lot of "anti-normal" posting happening over on
Facebook. It seems like my feed has been inundated by a flurry
of memes, posters and witty sayings stating how undesirable
"normalcy" is. Folks are proudly proclaiming not their
individuality...but their weirdness.  Now don't get me wrong, I
don't have a problem with people stepping out of the mainstream.
I've never been in the mainstream, though from the time I was
little, I wanted to fit. I still do. I'd like to wear trendy
clothing, have a clue what's going on in TV and movies, and to
be able to tell you the difference between Adele and Katy Perry.
Well, Katy sometimes has blue hair. And she got dumped (or she
dumped) Russel Brand.  And....(drumroll please...)  I don't like
Dr. Who.  The thing is, a lot of people who really, really don't
fit the mainstream find another slot to fit themselves into.
Maybe they are Trekkers or Wiccan
