pffftt......I multi-class!

I try to assert my nerdiness whenever possible while being down to earth and charismatic as much as my Chrisma stat would allow me.

And was it just me or did anyone else think it was kinda funny when Sears started advertising to kids that they sell "punk" and "skater" clothes?

In the end I just want to be happy with myself, and happy in general. Conformity is a non-issue for me, I don't pay attention to it.

Being different just for the sake of being different is a silly way to live. If you happen to be different by doing things you honestly enjoy then who cares? If you are a clone by doing things you honestly enjoy, again, who cares? As long as you enjoy what you do.

I don't try to be different I be myself, trying to be different mean your not trying to be yourself.

I tend to do the opposite of the local chav population, which is the "dominant stereotype" around my area, so yeah.

But I've always been against the whole "jumping on the bandwagon" thing, for example, my cousin has changed "supporting" about 6 different football (soccer) over the past 2 and a bit years, that just disgusts me if I'm honest. Nothing has ever been achieved by blending in with the flock.
Chnaging Football teams?! Thats a crime i'm sure:O

I think it's in everyone's mentality to try and be different than others at some point during their lives, especially to be different form one's parents. This obviously is not the best way of living one's life so therefore I just tend to do stuff I want to do, and to be honest I'm quite happy if everyone wants to go do that stuff, be it go fly a kite or go to the pub. I'm not gonna do something that's not fun to seem interesting. Because seriously, doe sbeing, for example, an emo, seem very fun? Because it doesn't look like a very fun thing to be doing.

Individuality is a lie, we all wear uniforms just in different situations. You were the uniform you think your friends will like, the uniform that the girls or guys you hope to meet will like and you wear the uniform your job demands.

No one is furiously stitching together a new outfit for the next day. You buy something of a shelf that is mass produced and has and will be purchased by others and will be worn by them.

I choose to dare to be stupid. It is much easier.

I dont try to be different, which is why I've voted no, but I've ended up being different by accident. I can usually fit in if I want to though.
Damn, stole the words right out of my mouth.

I don't go out of my way to do it, yet I do get a small feeling of satisfaction when people browse through my music library and can't recognize any of the artists :p.

I don't attempt to be diffrent-that is an irony that often times has people lie to themselves-just to say they have 'Found themselves' I don't even say im diffrent, im the same as every man boy child woman girl mother in this world. Though what I am is content about who I am, I enjoy Hip-Hop, Cooking, Cooking Mama, Harvest Moon, JRpgs, and anyone who can listen before yelling.

I pity people who conform. I also pity people who want to be different at all costs, though at least those can be saved.
As far as I'm concerned, I just don't care. I do what I like, whether it's what other people are doing or not.
Ok, ok, it's rarely what others are doing, but it's not by personal choice, I just happen to be weird. :p

Listen to whatever I want. Dress how I want. Still accepted, so who cares?

You have created a paradox in differentiability.

I like what I like, and if other people happen to also like it, then cool, I get to talk to people about it.

I hung out with the popular kids only because I make them look good. I'm joking, it's because of was my comedic nature. I was the "fat funny kid"; think Chris Farley. I struggled with weight so I had to find some way to cope, so I tried stupid slapstick humor. Falling down, tripping, etc. Eventually I made friends with the popular kids because I likedthey liked me even when I wasn't acting like a dumbass. After making friends I became progressively different and they didn't even care.
