I don’t know exactly whose definition of crazy I’m referring to. While I’m not twitchy, unhygienic (except for those 2 years in the Peace Corps), or paranoid-schizo, I may very well be barreling toward dysfunctional – all while laughing and twiddling my thumbs along the way!

@ allison. by “crazy” i didn’t mean “unconventional” or “irrevernet,” or even “unique.”

i meant it in the literally twitchy, unhygenic, pranoid-schizophrenic, can’t function in society, kind of way. thinking about the “reclaiming” any kind of words at all, are not really characteristic of this demographic.

i imagine you were probably searching for a different word.

1) i carry ee’s heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

2)
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us?
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!

~ Emily Dickinson, that real Nobody

3) I agree with the “crazy” label but other crazies get offended when I refer to myself as such. They don’t see that I’m flattering myself. I guess reclaiming crazy is gonna take time.
