Normal or Not?

"sometimes I pretend to be normal but it gets boring so I go back to being me." This is my YM status all throughout. I'm not claiming this line is originally mine, I saw it in FB. I find it witty and it rings true to me so I copied it.

Am I normal? Yes, I am and my mother would say the same if she were alive. Mother knows her daughter best. :)

But a lot of people would say I am not normal. Even someone I consider a friend thinks am not.

1. Is it not normal to smile or giggle when you are alone and reading a really funny story or something funny caught your attention?

2. Eating alone in a resto or fast food. Not that I am spendthrift and can't treat my girl friends.

3. Traveling abroad alone. Not that I really want to be alone but no one is available to join me in my travels.

4. Drinking red wine at home during weekends when I want to have a sound sleep after working for five grueling days.

5. Talking in English while sleeping (especially when I am in deep thought about something).

6. Wearing skirt with 2-3 inches below the knee hemline

7. Having long hair and not wanting to cut or trim it because I believe in God's words.

8. Crying buckets over ruined friendship.

9. Being single up until now.

10. Blogging and not wanting to show it to the world (only to selected few).

11. Enamored with Indian culture.

12. Scooping soda with the tip of straw instead of sipping it.

13. Removing the seeds of strawberry before eating

14. Draining cellphone's battery before re-charging it for longer lasting battery life


I can go on with my list but who cares with what other people think. Each is a unique individual. I will pursue what makes me happy, don't want to be restricted with other people's standard. I have a different standard, it's the absolute word of God.
