This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 17, 2007:
If my life story was a relative it would be the eccentric aunt or uncle. The one that in the right circumstances is the most interesting and fun person to be with, but in the wrong circumstances is just plain embarrassing. I guess I am really fond of my life story, but at times I cross the street and pretend I am with some-one else :)

Think of it this way, even if you are the most embarrassing person in the room, you are 9 times out of ten going to be the most amusing as well. I always remind myself, normal is a myth and who the heck would ever want to be average anyway LOL.
I knew normal was a myth, I also think that to me it is often a swear word :) You are right I would rather be entertaining and embarassing than boring. I used to wonder why some people could break form social convention and be fascinating and others just irritating, I came to the conclution that it is the people who are truely being themsleves whoever that may be that capture my attention, and those that are trying to cover who they are that are annoying. I try to be the first kind, but I don't always succeed :)
I think that is often the price of the journey to discovering our true selves that we all should be on. My daughter had an embarrasing situation yesterday and I shared with her what I shared with you. It is all about attitude, you have to be yourself and own it, which is not always easy to do, but almost always worth it.
