Are You Eccentric???

[George]

Nonconforming attitude - def St. Mark and me, too

Creative - positive, for sure St. Mark

Intense curiosity - like DUH!!! We are all curious! That's why we are on AFF

Idealistic - Not sure

Happy obsession with a hobby or hobbies - St. Mark is happy with his hobby of AFF

Known very early in his or her childhood they were different from others - St. Mark is gifted and has been since a child

Highly intelligent - St Mark might not spell well, but he is quite bright and somewhat a genius when it comes to music

Opinionated and outspoken - Hello, people! Aren't we all?!?!?

Noncompetitive - this is too boring and shouldn't apply to any of us. We should all want to win at anything we do.

Unusual living or eating habits - It is somewhat unusual that St. Mark lives with his mother at his age but he should be greatly admired for the supreme care he gives his ailing mother

Not interested in the opinions or company of others - def NOT St. Mark. He wants to know everyone's opinions

Mischievous sense of humor - this classically fits St. Mark, the pot stirrer

Single - hehehehehehe, St. mark, they labeled you

Eldest or only child - not me and not St. Mark

Bad speller - ROFL Why didn't they just put "St. Mark" in this slot?

Now that's my opinion.

O Lord this thread was NOT meant to be about St Mark People!!!


One correction my mother lives with my brother and I because she can't take of herself. I have to give the credit - my brother does more then I do but we work together. She would be in a convalecent home but we're not having that.

God bless you, Mark, for honoring your mother.

The first five are in most people regarded as eccentric:

Nonconforming attitude Yep

Hammer hits nail! I think most people who post on an internet forum would fall under the "eccentric" heading.

I know that I am definitely the member of my family who would be deemed eccentric, and I am thought of as slightly strange by them for posting on here. It doesn't bother me, I think eccentric people are waaaay more interesting than normal ones!
