America gives every appearance of being a nation besotted with trashiness - divorce, illegitimacy, casual Fridays.
I don't know that I'm not normal, because usually, when I tell people the things I do, either their jaw drops or they look at me shocked, but I'm sure I do normal things - everyone eats, that kind of stuff.
Develop your eccentricities while you are young. That way, when you get old, people won't think you're going gaga.

I was a super tomboy growing up.
A nerd will be a nerd all his life.
Intellectual perverts!
We are tomboys.

Everybody has their idiosyncrasies.

I am a redhead and was a tomboy for many years.
It is easy to defend the right of people to do things that fit in with the cultural norms of the majority. This includes practices that give personal pleasure but may be harmful, such as smoking or drinking. It is harder to argue for minority activities, especially those which stand out and may be obviously unsuitable in certain contexts.
In America, the new post-postmodern politician is all about authenticity: the daffier you are, the 'realer' you must be. The more you have committed yourself to a ridiculous idea and fevered view, the more worthy you are of attention.

I was actually a huge tomboy growing up.
