Everyone is stupidly obsessed with someone or something. People collect stamps, dolls, quarters (you know that's money right? you could buy things with it), you name it someone collects it. I think this is what makes people interesting, on dates I'm going to stop asking "so what do you want to Be?" and start asking 'what's your Crazy?"
Firstly I think this would be helpful in deducing whether or not I should leave the restaurant quickly. Football jerseys or shot glasses from different cities: good answers. Woman's underwear or other people skin: bad answers. In high school I had to read The Scarlet Letter, and for a class assignment we all had to wear a letter on us for a week symbolizing something about ourselves that we wanted to hide, and if anyone asked us about it we had to tell them. At the time I made up some dumb answer and wore the letter "L" and said I was "lazy, so lazy in fact I forgot to do the assignment" buh duh bum CHING!
But now, I think it might not be bad idea, let people know right up front. "Just so you know, if the Bears lose I will take it a a sign that I cannot date you... its just the universes way of telling me" or "I can't date you if you wear a smaller size than me... yes I'm that insecure."
Secondly, I think it would be awesome if people wore shirts all the time that say things like "pre-civil war history buff" or " 25% of my week is spent on x-box"or "I make everything into a reference to The Office"
My crazy, well one of, is Harry Potter. Yes, I know you all know already, but the movie comes out this week I am so FREAKING EXCITED! I started reading the books when I was living in Cape Town and they have been on 3 continents, in 5 states, through 6 different schools, and read then more times than I can count, and I still read them. 13 years later... oh lord. So that's my cup o'crazy, I have been in a relationship with fictional characters for longer than any friendship I have, family excluded. And guess what, I DO have a t-shirt, and I will wear it.
let your freak flag fly!
