I Am Not "Normal"

I know most of you are thinking......"GEE, YOU THINK!" Like you are in special ed and need me to explain something you already know. Instead of sharing all the ways in which you already know I am not normal, I will share a new one with you. When I do homework, I can't have it be completely quiet in the house. Most often I will sit on the couch, usually using my computer and I will have the TV on. I don't even pay attention to what is on, until something disturbing comes on and I think it might be a good idea to change the channel. So, me doing homework and not wanting it totally quiet already qualifies as "not normal." Let me go a step further, however. I was sitting there doing homework and Rachel Ray (I think that is her name) or somebody was on. Not a typical show I would watch if I ever had the chance. Suddenly I sort of heard that there were these women spending $12,000-18,000 on ONE outfit! Let me just say that both my truck and my car TOGETHER are not worth that. Many people's home furnishings are not worth that. That is like paying $1.4 Million for a car (.....the Bugatti Veyron, which even a car nut like me could never do,.........although I wouldn't mind driving it a few times). The deal was, they were going to force them to be frugal. I went back to what I was doing. They came out a little later, and guess what the "FRUGAL" price tag was for ONE outfit. $250 bucks. Who on earth is thinking that is frugal? Yep, definitely disturbing enough to change the channel....... You really want to be frugal?.......well do ya? It is called Target! If you really have a burning need to feel the frugality, head on over to the local D.I.! I just figure that it is like them saying, "okay, so the Bugatti was pretty expensive, so I traded it in for a nice, cheap, practical, Cadillac Escalade........with all the options. I guess I have never thought $250 was ever practical for ONE outfit. My suits MIGHT have cost that much. Granted, I am not the guy everyone comes to for fashion ideas (after all, I am straight), but I don't think I have many outfits that cost even $25. Especially when you consider I can mix and match. I have even gone shopping for women's dresses before (before everyone races each other to the comments section, NO, they weren't for me). I seem to have been able to find plenty of decent ones that do not even touch that realm. So, there you have it, another way in which I am not normal. I just wanted to help to firm up any case someone may be building against me. Let's leave trying to figure out why I always chew ice for another time. I am sure you have your theories.........I know, I know, it is a protein deficiency........ :)
