Native American: divided by tribe but still united, strong ties to nature, spiritual ceremonies.
Weirdo: also known as freaks, do not fit the norms for the society, often stand out, frequently attacked by those outside this group, no central organization or belief structure yet most people know if they belong and will naturally be drawn to others like them.
LDS: Latter Day Saints or Mormons, religious affiliation, believe in God, Christian, Not Protestant, family oriented
Writers: creative, intelligent, varied in taste and belief
American: citizen, nationality, far too varied to find definitions that include all or even most of our attributes.
I am a weirdo, also known as a freak, geek, and even anomaly. More people belong to this group than anyone outside it would ever guess. We outnumber them. We are the people that do things differently, the ones that in high school were probably made fun of. The joke is on them. Leave that sheltered little existence and we weirdos are suddenly cool. Most of the cliques that thought the were better than us dissolve outside of that environment. Suddenly people are just people again and those that don't realize it and still try to hold themselves superior are the ones looked down on. While they flounder we weirdo's flourish. We do not need an organization or team to tie us together. We generally recognize each other quickly form a bond without even realizing it. What's more is without the structure that formed and held their cliques together, many more people suddenly find they are one of us. There is no real norm. It is all just an illusion that people use to feel safe. More over it's no fun to be 'normal'.
It's a simple concept to understand. Weird is a compliment. Normal is the insult. Normally is really just a polite way of saying boring.
