Freak. I'm a Freak.

My dance lesson was cancelled this morning and at first, I didn't know what to do. I decided to draw outside and listen to some 80s tunes, which of course gave the hung-over frat boys another reason to call me a freak.

Freak. Painting Pig. Loser. The list goes on and on... but this was the first time they actually used the word freak. I am a Freak.

And I think I like it. I think I am okay being different. It's taken me a while to accept that I'm not like everyone else, but I have accepted it. I'm a freak.

Current times:

- the neat freak

- "freaky fresh"

- "super freak ... super freak-ay!"

An older usage refers to the physically deformed, or having extraordinary diseases and conditions, such as sideshow performers. A "freak" in this sense can be formally defined as someone not falling within typical standard deviations. Freaks can be classified into two groups: natural freaks and made freaks. A natural freak would usually refer to a genetic abnormality, while a made freak is a once normal person who experienced or initiated an alteration at some point in life (such as receiving surgical implants). "Freak" continues to be used to describe genetic mutations in plants and animals, i.e. "freaks of nature." "Freak" can also be used in a verb form, and can mean: "to become stressed and upset". Usually, in this form, the word is followed by "out" to complete the phrase, "freaking out". However, this meaning and usage is usually considered slang. ...

Freak Accident.

Freak Show.

Freak Wave.

Freakonomics.

Freakazoid....

You get it? The world is filled with freaks. There is no such thing as being normal, yet people cling to idea of normalcy.

If all of the things that make me who I am - define me as a freak, then so be it.

I just need to find my Circque du freaks to spend my time with *laugh* I don't expect people to be perfect, just understanding and open minded. There is so much more out there; so many undiscovered, abnormal things.

I want to find them. They are just like me.

I am a Freak.
