"I&amp;amp;#8217;ve always been a little&amp;amp;#133;unique, shall we say. (I memorized spells from Harry Potter using flashcards) Life is too short to be prim and proper and to suppress your inherent peculiarities. I&amp;amp;#8217;m always trying to have diverse, crazy experiences&amp;amp;#8212;and some of my quirkier traits (I can name all four parts of a cow&amp;amp;#8217;s stomach) are simply the byproduct. My friends have always embraced and valued my quirks (I was Lil Wayne for Halloween) and I adore theirs. But when it comes to guys, we seem to be all alone on Oddball Island (I will only eat oatmeal with a wooden spoon). I realized this the other day when my BFF Klo took a trip to Sea Bright, New Jersey, a small beach town known for having a large stray cat population. Klo is crazy obsessed with cats&amp;amp;#8212;she has four&amp;amp;#8212;and when in Sea Bright she carries around a baggie of cat kibble to feed them with. I see nothing weird about this. Guys we met in the bars, on the other hand, disagreed. Loudly. While backing away from us and pointing in terror. We get that response a lot. Habits that I find utterly adorable and charming in my friends, guys always seem to be intimidated by. Whatever, Klo never cares, she&amp;amp;#8217;s engaged. And I usually don&amp;amp;#8217;t care either because I&amp;amp;#8217;m&amp;amp;#133;well&amp;amp;#133;I guess because I just like myself the way I am! Sure, I&amp;amp;#8217;m a little eccentric at times (I Tivo Reading Rainbow everyday) but I think that&amp;amp;#8217;s part of my charm. Who wants to date someone&amp;amp;#133;normal? (Not anyone I want to date!) Does weird = funny = sexy? Do you love your weirdness? Do guys? Do you ever tone it down for the sake of a man or do you let your freak flag fly?
