The word "weird" amongst other things...
Mar. 4th, 2007 03:19 pmIt's been a quiet weekend - won't bore with details. Did a little of this and a little of that. Weather is being wonky. 60 degrees at noon yesterday, then proceeded to drop to 48. Today it's 37 degrees and flirting with snow. I don't know about any one else, but I'm beginning to think Mother Nature is irritated with the human race and playing games.
On my flist today two people mention the word "weird" in their posts. The first asks why does everyone mention that they are "weird" in their lj's and if they are, how, exactly? The other sort of answers the question, in an unrelated post, in fact I'm not even sure if the two are aware of one another (which is part of the fun of reading lj), but anyhow, they state in detail how their brain is weird. It's not. By the way. A lot of people I know think that way.
I think we use it as a means of apologizing for what we believe are our little quirks and idiosyncrasies. A way to protect oneself from unwanted criticism. The world let's face it can be brutal. One needs a few little words to throw out there to protect oneself from the onslaught.
How am I weird? ( how I'm weird )
I'm weird about memes...I don't do most of them because I have no clue how to answer most of the questions posed. For example the book meme going around - there's only one question on that meme I can answer - okay maybe three. They are: 1) Have you ever fallen in love with a literary character? If so which ones? (2) What book are you reading now? 3) What was the last book you read? -But which books you'd want on a Desert Island or which book would you want to be in Farenheit 451? That I'm not sure I can answer - it would require limiting it to just one or five. And I'm moody when it comes to books, music, movies, and tv. Not to mention fickle. In short it depends on which day of the week, month, year you ask. But please don't hold me to my choice.
The answers?
( that book meme )
TV...weird here too. I like a broad assortment. These are the one's currently on the air.
( tv shows I watch in case anyone is interested. )
