Normal is boring

Apparently, the only normal people are the ones you don't know very well. Which, when I think about it, is very true. I can't think of a single person I know that I would consider totally "normal". Me personally, I'm certainly far from it, and if I may say so myself, quite proud of the fact. My closest friends are all entertaining, great, caring, smart and funny people, but normal? No way. My family? I couldn't love them more, but no, they are not what you would call "normal" either. Which is good.

My good friends now know that it is generally intended as a compliment when I call them crazy, but when I first do it to people who don't know me that well, they sometimes mistakenly get a bit offended. Until I explain to them that I much prefer crazy people over so-called "normal" ones. As far as I am concerned, normal people bore the hell out of me. Having said that though, and coming back to my intial point, what would a normal person even be like? To me, normal sounds like someone who is not passionate about anything (boring), has no quirky habits (boring) and doesn't do anything out of the ordinary (boring). Yet, only being boring still doesn't qualify you as being normal, so where are the normal people? Certainly not in my life. Thank God.

Maybe I should also mention here that there are certain types of craziness I do not necessarily approve of or want too much of in my life. But give me someone moderately crazy any day over someone normal.
