It is a psychological nationality, I should know for, I am the King of Wierdonia ( albeit in pre-existia) In the interest of prepreserving the culture of Weirdonia, it came to mind that perhaps I ought to clarify the origin and conjugation of the word weird... For all future weirdsters, and weirdettes who are unfortunately currently living in normsville which disallows exposure to the proper grammar of weirdish, our natural language. (please note I did not say native tounge as in weirdish that is a reference to certain preparatory behaviors in practicing reproduction), here is a brief introduction to weirdish. I would recommend a trip to weirdonia, but as none of us seem to remember which weirdway leads there, I don't think any of us will be weirding there soon. For your weirdification I can tell you a few of the other possible conjugations or the root weird, as well as a few precepts of weirdness. Her artwork is a fine example of the weirdification of the neosurrealists. The field trip to the nauga ranch was a weirdistic one. Row, row. row, your boat weirdirly along, Weidily, weirderly, weirderly... The weirdlattion of the druid scrolls led to the weidification of alchemy. Weirderly is more so than weirder. Weirdify is a transdimensional transformation on any non weird object or entity. transweirdent is beyound the ordinary range of weird transweirdental meditation, A simple, natural, effortless procedure whereby the mind easily and naturally arrives at the source of essential weirdness. Mother of weirdness. the maternal goddess, mate of The Father of stangeness, paternal god, originators of all peculiarity, and parents of quintessentially bazaar, and extremely odd. weirderingly yours,
Veteran Cosmic Rocker! Amen and Halleweirdja! Finally - someone else exists who understands that being weird or having the quality of weirdness is a good thing! I remember that when I was a kid in school, some of the other kids would say to me, "You're so weird!" Just hearing that proclamation, I would well up with pride inside, because I instinctively knew that weird was a good way to be. Weird was a good way to be because it wasn't common; it wasn't the same as everyone else; it was different. From early childhood-on, I inherently knew that I was different than my schoolmates, and I liked being different. So, you see that I can really relate to the title of your thread, "Weird Is Not An Insult". Amen and Halleweirdja to that! Hey, some synonyms for weird are: unusual, perplexing, Kafkaesque, unconventional, offbeat, fantastic, curious, unearthly, otherworldly, mysterious, supernatural, singular, and my personal favorite: eccentric. Incidentally, the definition for 'eccentric' is: "strangely different in an odd and whimsical way." I like the sound of that! Veteran Cosmic Rocker - you may want to check out this page: http://www.blather.net/shitegeist/2006/01/wyrd.htm It's got information on the origin of the word 'weird'. Anyway, I loved your post introducing yourself. Welcome to the HipPlanet Forums - where I think weird is at home!

I'm glad to see people who embrace their unusualness. From one weirdo to another, Welcome to the forums.
classic, enjoyed every word of those posts!!!! how peculiar... i welcome you both to the forums with much enthusiasm, i can tell already you're going to be credits to the place!!
Thank you, good Cerridwen, and well met, as one of the first principles, of my FIR (fundamental interpretation of reality) is that the only reasonable response to the wonder of being, an experiencing being, is to have as much fun as possible, all I can say is "Right On, Sister! Let the fun begin. Sine cera
Greetings good Ametista, Thank you for your reply and specifically for saying this..." I'm glad to see people who embrace their unusualness" I will be very much interested to know if when the planets past one twelfth of the way about yon fusion furnace, if you still are of the same mind. I have (I never learn) unrestrained high hopes for this place, could it be that such a place could be wherein I could be myself and not garner major misconceptions due to the weirdness that has always been a defining characteristic of mine. Short on time gotta jam, celebrate the difference. Pardon popped back to inquire, if I may, if not please just ignore this query... Are you serious about the "After everything I've done...." quote in your sig? sine cera vcr
Hello good Psygrunge and thank you for your welcome and compliments. I'm still looking around, and I think I'll have to read some stuff of Skips to understand what is up here. I was unaware that the "hippy" counter culture of the 60's had survived. It was in the early 80's that I came upon information that led to an understanding of what happened back then and what, historically identifiable, portion of the population we represented, i.e. "The Discontents". A very interesting subset of the population, one that in the past had caused some radical changes, (as we did, however short of our goals). I wonder if there are any reliable estimates for what percentage of the population were hippies? Any idea where I might find that out. In the mean time, fare thee well, wheresoever thee may fare, may the faring be well. sine cera
i always thought, to be weird was the norm. my mistake. i'm a little freakish, and it pleases me to see someone take hold of there individuality. better yet express it. i'm new here too so together we will discover how many other's are willing to except the fact that we ALL are crazy. :X release the demons from your closets, and all will be fine. :X
About your inquisition on my signature: Yes and no. For the most part I am quite pleased with myself. Yes, I have done some things in the past that I should be ashamed of. Yet I’m not. I figure to be ashamed of something you have done, means you shame yourself. I have no skeletons in my closet. They were released the day I decided to quit giving a shit about what other people think of me. The signature is a representation of what other people say I should feel.
