Do you ever feel weird?

My son thinks I am weird. He thinks my husband is weird too. I don't know if I am weird so much as a free spirit. Here are some of the things that I think make me a little odd.

This is kind of weird to me, and I actually asked a co-worker about this. I have weird hand writing. I can start a letter writing one way, and totally end it writing another way. I have weird handwriting. It is almost like two different people wrote my letter. Yes, the writing is that different! I wish I could get a sample put on here and show how odd it is. I had never really thought of it until I started my new job. My co-worker thinks that I just have different personalities and it is reflected in my writing. Not different like "Sybil" different, but I do have really different writing.

I talk with different accents. I do this on purpose. I do not think I am suddenly British or Irish, but sometimes I just gab that way. It is usually used to emphasize a joke I am making. I don't just say, "Hey I am going to speak with a Southern accent today." It isn't on purpose like that, but I do put on accents like a hat for a moment or two and just run with it. I also speak with cartoonish voices. This is really a play thing that I do with my husband so that doesn't count really. :) It is like a courtship ritual. Besides, my husband loves my accents.

I use props in pictures all the time. I love taking pictures or being in pictures and putting myself in a prop position. If I am on a roller coaster or a ride where they take pictures, I can always be seen making a terrified face. It isn't that I am terrified. I just like to make the face. If a camera is nearby and I am in a convenience store, I will pick up an item like a bag of chips and make a really silly "Yummy" face like I am advertising something. Really, I am a great big spectacle.

I have weird friends. One of my best friends is truly as odd as I am. We used to write stories to each other at work. She would write a line, and leave it for me to write a line. We'd crack ourselves up. We have literally spent a good hour or more trying on every ugly pair of sunglasses we can find at a department store. Indeed though, if we did this with some people, they would probably walk away. Actually one of our friends was with us and did leave us.

Was I always weird? I think so. When I was a kid, I used to spend hours telling myself stories, before I actually would fall asleep. I never saw this as talking to myself. My mom used to read me bedtime stories, but when she worked more she couldn't. I just kind of filled in the blank and made up my own.

Does any of this seem odd to you?
