Check it out if you've never read it! I'm weird too but I no longer care if people think I'm a bit odd. I admit to an inordinate love for oatmeal, Harry Potter, historical novels about epidemics, and all sorts of things.<br /><br />Lostgirl, I'm the weird mom too! I hate Barney and my kid brought bell peppers to preschool for snack. :-(Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495836150645869482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-36639309949196097792010-05-15T19:08:04.511-04:002010-05-15T19:08:04.511-04:00There's nothing wrong with being a little funk...There's nothing wrong with being a little funky. ;D It keeps things interesting.<br />I guess mentioning Austin got a longtime-lurker out into the light a little. I live about forty minutes away from Austin and it's one of my favorite places to go. What's funny is, the town I live in as well as some other towns near Austin have some really snobby people. And some real bad drivers, too.

I was wha...I think we all have in inner weirdness. I was what the world thought was a pretty girl. I was thin, had long blonde hair and the right clothes. No one ever made fun of me. But I still felt so weird and so different. I was a smart girl too, and was always proud of that. I loved science and books and theater and symphonies. I hated pep rallies because they went against my feminist ideals (why are girls cheering for the boys but never vice versa!?!) I still loved alt rock and pop culture, but I always, always felt so different and weird. Even now, as a mother I feel so different from other moms. I'm the weird mom. The mom who doesn't want to be the PTA mom listening to Barney songs in the car. But that's okay. I like being weird me. And I'm glad you are embracing your weird too. I think we all have an inner weird girl (ever see the Sex and the City episode about how everyone had an inner freak?)

In all these years of feeling alienate...Ace stuff!<br /><br />In all these years of feeling alienated and like a freakish outsider, I've realised that what made me happy with myself was my passions and idiosyncratic eye. I love the fact that I'm a geeky nerd - I've always hated myself but got comfort from my oddness in a strange way. I'm still lost as to who I really am, but I know that part of who I am is the weirdness.<br /><br />What is weird anyway? I know that I was weird because I wasn't mucho macho keeping up with the other boys (testosterone deficiency), liked obscure films and music and cared about current affairs and history more than getting wasted. The self-loathing came when I wasn't allowing myself to enjoy being myself and allowing myself to have fun.<br /><br />The geek streak is what gives me enthusiasm and energy and makes it beautiful to be alive. I agree with everyone else - be proud of your personality and idiosyncracies. Your weirdness or oddness is what makes you uniquely you.<br /><br />Keep on being weird... ;)James Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649874906360931246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-19548124154265523782010-05-15T06:43:47.183-04:002010-05-15T06:43:47.183-04:00Nerdy is just another way of labeling "unique...Nerdy is just another way of labeling "uniqueness" When we don't fit in the box, we're umcomfortable because we fear that makes us unworthy of love. When we are in the box, we're uncomfortable, because it makes us fear that we're unworthy of love. <br />That last line is a great ending to a writing piece, but it rings hollow for me. It is not about my body, the less than size 0, it is about feeling OKAY to FLAUNT it, and not be rejected by my audacity of desire and hunger.Special Khttp://thespecialktreatment.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-48209755351628286992010-05-15T05:48:42.756-04:002010-05-15T05:48:42.756-04:00I am weird too.

I have everything from Gregorian chants to rock to country in my CD rack, hippy skirts alongside jeans in my wardrobe, the entire DVD collection of the X Files sitting on my bookcase, and my telescope in the lounge. I am currently studying both physics and counselling skills. I am about as socially refined as an overenthusiastic labrador puppy. <br /><br />Weird people unite! If everyone was the same, the world would be very boring. Great stuff :)Katiehttp://themilkfreeway.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-90254048304972874402010-05-15T03:37:04.511-04:002010-05-15T03:37:04.511-04:00Hallelujah! Celebrate the Nerd/Geek in us; I now d...Hallelujah! Celebrate the Nerd/Geek in us; I now do!<br /><br />Of all the posts you have ever written, I maybe identify best with this one. My overwhelming fear that I was 'abnormal' (because I was a geeky kid) played a HUGE role in the development of my AN, with the latter serving as a means of hiding from a world in which I felt I didn't fit. Being bullied (by other kids) for my geekiness (alongside my red hair) exacerbated my negative sense of self, and the fact that I was not-so-good at reading people's minds and their intentions due to my Asperger characteristics made me very vulnerable to abuse. <br /><br />Unlike you I didn't try to fit in by "bitching about my thighs". I didn't think I was fat, so why 'jump on the bandwagon' and lapse into girly talk about diets, fatness, make-up etc. I actually spent my teen years breeding guinea pigs, making progress charts of their growth, building runs for them so that they could play happily outside etc. I studied hard, not because I wanted to be 'the best', but because I enjoyed studying esoteric stuff. On Saturday night I didn't go out on the town; I cleaned my bike. <br /><br />All along I knew people thought I was 'weird', so like you I had a negative self-schema.<br /><br />Accepting myself for who/what I am has been a really big part of my recovery. I have some fabulous friends who have told me they love my quirks. They laugh with me and not at me. I attend scientific debates at the local universities, and through that I have met equally geeky people. <br /><br />Embrace yourself for everything you are.
