ARE YOU NORMAL?

When I was a teenager (early '80s), I used to walk around my high school with my guitar in tow. The guitar case was littered with stickers-- my favorite being the black and white WHY BE NORMAL one. Now, twenty years later, I teach fourth grade and my boss always call me 'nuts' and says, 'you're so out of the box, you can't see it'. I never took offense to this for several reasons: 1) I knew she wasn't being mean, just teasing; 2) It's true; and 3) Most great teachers are a bit on the wacky side (at least the ones I loved--perhaps I'm biased, though!).

So, just a couple of minutes ago I was checking out the 'Type Brighter 'blog (if you haven't visited this one yet, you're missing a great time! see sidebar for link)
and he, Dee, has this new post about identity theft. I couldn't help but notice all of his Google Ads picked up on this. All of the Ads were about personality disorders and personality tests. One of them really caught my eye. It read: ARE YOU NORMAL? and that was it. That was the entire Ad. So, I had to click on the link and take the test. I had to find out once and for all if I am, in fact, clinically deemed as being a couple sandwiches short of a picnic. O well, the results weren't too surprising, really, and I quote:

"You are a Marvelous MaverickGiddy-up partner. You're a maverick and don't know what the definition of normal is. That's a-okay because you're now part of a fascinating group of desperadoes."

"Wherever you ride, it's sure to be off the beaten path because it's way more fun to find the path least traveled."

So, there it is in black and white (well, okay, in orange!). Actually, I think it's pretty fun to be 'out of the box', as it were. It's not like I can help it. I don't try to be different. And the cool thing is, most of my friends fit the exact same mold--that is, we don't fit into a mold.

I offer you this, take the test, and report back to me whether or not you are normal. I would think that if you love this site enough to visit it more than once, or your name is Zombie Lama :), you may not be seeing the proverbial 'box' either!
