I get along in the world much better when I embrace being the "freak". I
feel better about myself and other don't give me such a hard time. It is
only when you try so hard to fit in, that you have troubles. Remember
that we are all freaks in one way or another. There is no such thing as
a "normal" person. If there were it sure would be boring. My saying is:
"I may be fringe, but I am not alone".
