How "normal" do you think you are?

I am on the fringe.  Certain people do not understand me, or some of the crazy stuff I do with friends/family.  Like yelley.

It seems like you have a lot of problems with the way people deal with, react to, and think about time. I don't think that qualifies as 'disbelieving in time'. Saying you do not believe in time is kind of misleading in my opinion. To me it sounds like you are saying "I do not in spatial dimensions" when in fact you have issues with the metric or imperial systems.
And while 11:38:53 may seem fairly arbitrary, so is language. A common time system just lets us interact and communicate efficiently. I understand that some people are really picky about being five minutes late and this is annoying, but busy people need to get stuff done without waste.
Why do I need a standard time thing? So I can know when to leave my house to make it to the airport. Better yet, when do I leave Toronto to get back in time to make it to work and relieve the person that's been there eight hours over-night.

That most people are saying things like "everyone believes they are not normal", questioning the semantics of the original post & just generally saying that this is a hard question to answer makes me kind of happy!  I am pretty glad that this thread didn't turn into a "omg, I am liek, soooo abnormal"-fest, because that would be pretty shit.

So anyway, I made my Tahoma-Comic Sans reference because while I think I am a pretty normal kind of guy I work with a bunch of people who are completely different to me, but also normal.  Y'know, the kind of people who think that using comic sans in emails and company memos makes it seem more cheerful?  Those fuckers.  I may disagree with them on just about everything, but it doesn't mean that either of us are odd.  We're just different people.

Here was me thinking you were a typography nerd. Good thing I didn't make any jokes about fonts and such.

Blue Kitty:
Normal-esque

From time to time I enjoy having conversations with myself in weird voices, laughing at odd pitches, or even barking out the window at cars that I drive by.  Often when I wash my face I believe I look like the Joker, crack the biggest smile I can, and ask the mirror, "Why so serious?"
