Hmm, I need to give this some thought. I think the only one that comes to mind right now is that up until recently, I did believe my grandmother when she insisted that walking barefoot at home will make you sick. It doesn’t, but I used to believe her in that to the point of being rather neurotic about it.

Is it normal for me to want family to turn down the TV after 10pm because I have a literal fear of being unable to hear my surroundings at night? Probably not! I don't care! F$#k normal. Televisions and sterios has only existed for about around as long as my grandparents. Before that, there was never any system of artifically loud noises beyond reason, ever, throughout all of human history, and yet, when I suggest that maybe it doesn't need to be so loud at night, I'm the abnormal one? I lament my neighbours' (who are about 10 or so years older than me) for the same reason. Well, f$$k normal. Indipendantly to my fear of being unable to hear my surroundings, I have low tolerance of noise. I cannot handle loud noise (unless I'm watching a concernt or something, but that's only a few times a year, and even then, I'm not too thrilled about it)! Is that normal? Probably not! Do I care? No! F$$k normal. I don't care if strangers/my neighbourrs/etc. Know that I've taken a shit (after the event). Every single person on the planet shits. No exceptions. Does not caring make me normal? Probably not! Do I care about what's normal? No, f%%k normal!

When I went on a university trip over, all of the other students were dying to go clubbing EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I was in the same age group as tthem, at the time, it was just before hitting 20. Despite the fact that it was perfectly legal to go nightclubbing, and despite them inviting me to go, I never went. Why? I hate noise, I hate crowds, I hate darkness, I hate staying up stupidly late, I hate getting drunk (I have no issue with drinking, I just don't see the appeal in getting drunk), I don't see the appeal in wasting money unnecessarily. I, instead, prefered to visit the quiet shopping centre, ALONE and come home early. Does that make me abnormal? Probably! Do I care, no! F#$k mormal! I have an unhealthy obsession with snow! Is it normal for someone in my age group? Probably not! Do I care, no? F$$k normal! I have a fear of the dark (or, more accruately, a fear of not being able to see my surroundings. If I'm in a well-lit room with other people, I don't mind squealing myself in a dark corner), is that normal for someone my age? Probably not. Do I care? No! F%%k normal! When I'm on holidays, as long as I know that an area is somewhat safe, I have no issue travelling by myself. I.e. catching public transport, by myself, sightseeing by myself, etc. I've done this both, in Australia, and overseas. Hell, I even plan to go on an entire holiday by myself if I can save the money. Sometimes, I even prefer going about by myself. Not only can I pick and choose my own schedule, I can also do things that noone else is interested in. Is that normal? Probably not. Do I care? No! F$#k normal!

Now now, there's no reason to diss us drinkers! Some of us drink to control the very fact that we're out of the norm! If you take the drink away, we're left with... nothing, really.

If you wanna get drunk, go for it, I don't care. As long it doesn't turn you into a violent idiot who's a nuicence to society, and as you don't drive whilst drunk, I don't care what you do, I just have no interest in joining you

Neither violence nor drunk driving applies to me, so I guess we're all good.

You've really overestimated about how much I give a shit what people do as long as:
1. You don't bother me
2. You're not a public nuisance
3. You don't hurt anyone

Then I really don't gibe a shit what you do

I walk several miles to work even when it's cold and don't take injuries seriously. Once I stepped on a nail up in flint and me and the boys sterilized it with vodka.

I mean I would say the fact that I am kinda missing a part of my spine (Caudal Regression Syndrome in case your wondering) is quite odd. Also I guess the fact that I am an introvert with poor social skills who spends most of his time in his room doing nothing but watch YouTube like some lazy couch potatoe counts as well.

Green eyes.. boom.. more than 98% of you are different - it's about the same genetic difference between humans and baboons and that's not to say I view you all as baboons but.. well.. no really I'm sure you're all very nice intelligent people, not baboons at all.. not proving the fact a million baboons on a million typewriters will categorically not produce the works of Shakespeare.. amm, moving on..

Other than that I have an odd thing of not instinctively knowing the difference between my left and right, which causes all sorts of problems. In fact if you say turn left I will almost always turn right if I don't work it out first. Somehow that translates into flipping cities in my head so I always head off in the wrong direction. It's why I like cities with major rivers cos I can better use the river whereabouts to determine which way up the city is.

Tons. People quickly notice that I'm very out of the norm and like to bring them up. And I quite like it when they do most of the time.

A few popular ones for people to point out or question include being good at remembering names, for having an accent that's an unholy mishmash of everywhere I've lived and that I will happily walk for miles to get to places even when there is a public transport option.

I guess one thing that's pretty recent is I only found out like two weeks ago that I don't experience sexual desire, well, at all. Sex came up in a discussion and it sort of dawned on me that what I thought was sexuality was just romantic feelings, and that everyone else was experiencing something I wasn't. It kind of makes sense now that I think about it, and explains why I've always found the topic to be extremely troubling and uncomfortable to think about.
