What is something you like to do that other people might think is “weird?”

First, let me say that I'm convinced there is no such creature as a "normal human being". I have come to this conclusion, personal opinion, after 73 years of dealing with human beings. Second, as far as I've been able to discern the words "normal" and "weird" have two different meanings: (1) a dictionary meaning (depending upon the dictionary used), and (2) a personal meaning (depending upon an individual's opinion).

According to the Oxford Dictionary (the dictionary I prefer using) weird is an adjective defined as (1) "Suggesting something supernatural; uncanny", or (1.1) "Very strange; bizarre."1 There are other meanings, mostly archaic or confined to s specific location on earth, but those are the meanings that I decided to use.

I use the Baha'i date first in my blog entries. I started this when I became a Baha'i because it helped me remember the dates of the nineteen day feasts, without consulting my Baha'i Datebook. Th is has now became a habit that I seldom skip.

I will try almost any new type of food once. If I don't like it I will presume its an acquired taste and attempt to acquire the taste. The only exception is food that I know has alcohol in it.
