What do you think normal means?

Boring.

[abnormalcalm]

Then what's not boring?

[iyaaalilbro]

Anything that's not normal, obviously.

[abnormalcalm]

Well then, what's the difference between normal and not normal?

[head_overheels]

I dunno. Boring?

[abnormalcalm]

... Are you saying they're interchangeable?

[head_overheels]

I guess that depends on what kind of normal it is, or something! I mean, there was normal like "at home with my family" normal, or I guess there was what was normal for me when I was traveling with a circus... but I always kinda think normal's more like the first part. And that's boring.

[abnormalcalm]

Well, I was curious what kinds of 'normal' people came up with, and what they thought about it. I guess you covered that.

How's that normal?

[me_fuckyeah]

It's normal for me!

[abnormalcalm]

What about in general?

[notmakingout]

Hmm. Bein' the same as most o' the people or things around. Depends a lot on yer frame of reference, I'd say.

[abnormalcalm]

You mean you see it as relative?

[notmakingout]

O'course, it has ta be. It's a relative term.

[abnormalcalm]

Not everyone would automatically think of 'frames of reference' right off the bat. They only think about what's normal for them.
