Epiphany: I have come to accept the bizarre as normal.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

1. This is how I commonly put my daughter to sleep: She goes inside a tiny pop up Dora the Explorer tent and lies down with a pink unicorn named Unicorny, a slightly anthromorphic cat named Kitty, and a duck with wheels for feet named Tinnamen. I lay down on the floor with my head inside the tent and my body outside the tent and sing Dan Zane's Goodnight Waltz while my kid fondles my ears. Most kids have a blankie or a toy that is their security item. Not my kid. My kid's security item is ears.

2. I just got finished sending a letter to a Nigerian scammer that described, in excruciating detail, my penis.

3. I do not have a penis. However, at no point during the performance of item number two did I have the first thought that maybe that behavior was just a little off.

Maybe I should go to bed now.

You once again have proven your awesomeness.


That is all.

[Evil Queen]

If you think that is weird, I'm afraid of your idea of normal.


...normal scares me and gives me bad dreams. I like weird.

For example; I just bought myself a toothbrush that lights up while I brush my teeth. I'm 23. I now brush my teeth in the dark.

.... Where does one find that EQ? I want that.

I've always loved glow in the dark stuff. I want to find good kinds of stickers to put glow in the dark stars all over my room. I haven't found any yet.

So sad.

I found it in WalMart for $3! It's a two-pack and I think the brand is Firefly. It's a kids toothbrush (of course) but I'm little and have a small mouth so it works for me just fine.

[Plaidman]

I'm so buying that once I get more money. That is awesome. Thank you.

[Evil Queen]

No prob. Always happy to share the weird with a fellow oddball!

[ShadowTiger]

That's pretty neat, for a toothbrush.

I don't like normal. I can't even define normal. (Seriously. Give it a go yourself.) I have long ago learned to accept the strange, abnormal, and completely paranormal as normal. I've seen everything from girls in the mens room acting like men to prophecy and vision and telekinesis and some isolated cases of pyrokinesis (One of which was me - None of us can figure out how the fire got started to date.) and being surrounded by Pagans, Witches, and Shamans sending energy out to each other, and being some kinda crazy wolfkin thing... ... and never even wanting to say "Enough is enough"

Makes for an interesting life. I couldn't imagine being stuck behind a desk for eight hours a day after and before a two hour commute to a boring suburban house with a boring stereotypical wife and two boring kids. Screw the American Dream. I'm living my own.

[Exaspera]

I think 'American Dream' defies definition, as does 'normal.'

At least you know this way you'll never lose them!!!

It took you this long?

[Kheldarson]

RK, you play a gypsy in the SCA, you write an amazing Western fiction, and have a great, off-beat sense of humor.

How could you have accepted the conventional definition of what's 'normal' anyway?

Ah, I knew you were cool the moment I met you.

[TheSHAD0W]

A lot of people think I'm weird because I have no TV.

Sweet! I'm cool!
