People are strange, when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
People seem wicked, when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven, when you're down

When you're strange- faces come out of the rain (rain, rain)
When you're strange- no one remembers your name
When you're strange, when you're strange, when you're str-ange (Doors)

I wonder why it took this long. I have lived and worked in this area for 11 years. Yet people are only now telling me that I am different, odd, eccentric, wierd, strange. Are they joking with me? Why is everyone but me in on the joke? Some of these people said this in response to my telling them about my current circumstances. This means that for some reason they now find it easy to say, where before they did not. I don't get it. But I also think that since they know me well enough to know that I do a good job and I mean them no harm, they should get over it.

I'm strange and I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Might as well get over it
Don't try to understand
I'm strange and I like it
Just the way I am (Buzz on Maggie)

LOST BOYS!! ! Oh, I love that movie. :lol:
I have known I was strange and different since I was little, since finding out about Aspergers I am learning that "that's me". I guess knowing why I am different makes it easier for me to understand. Others just think I'm strange. I mention Aspergers and I get this "Yeah, right" look!!

I know you are, but what am i.

If people give me the idea that they think so, then i remind them that they are mindless sheep.

I was about to post that, hehe.

'When you're strange, when you're strange, when you're straaa-aaaange..."

Though undoubtedly a song even before the movie. I'm betting. Btw, anybody know the name/band of that song? I wouldn't mind DLing it.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: YES, I AM STRANGE, ECCENTRIC, WEIRD ET AL.

No one, during my entire school career has been as weird as me. There were other weird ones, but they paled in comparison to me. And i was really happy about that.

I’ve been called weird all my life, even more so as an adult than as a child. However, I’ve always taken it as a compliment and don’t recall ever feeling insulted over it.

Actually, I like the Buzz on Maggie song better as an ASC theme song. People are strange seems too depressing and not assertive enough.
