All In All It’s Just Another Brick In The Wall

Sarah Hoyt talks about being an Odd.
Which brings us to Odds and the way Odds cope with being Odd, and the way only Odds really understand other Odds and, by definition, most people aren’t Odds.
My former form (eh) was exhilarating to be in because until this blog I’ve never before or since found myself in a group of “my people.”
You know who you are, even if you don’t know why. You’re the people who given a choice between vanilla and chocolate say “strawberry” and if you can at all set about making it happen. You’re the people who don’t fit in, and all of you at some point read the story of the pink monkey, torn apart by the brown monkeys. You’re the people who either learned to go away from normal human intercourse, or else learned to fit in — often not perfectly, but well enough. — In a world of sheep and dogs and wolves, you’re the goats.
Been there, done that.
