Vanilla.

I am not normal.

Shocker, eh?

I really hate conforming to mainstream society, be it in thought, action, attitude, music, fashion, gossip, whatever.  I don't automatically think of things in an inappropriate manner like some people.  Many times I keep my mouth shut in situations because I either don't know what people are talking about or really could care less.  I don't get drunk.  I don't party.  Heck, I hardly get out and do "social" things at all.  I don't listen to mainstream radio by choice--I often choose the local contemporary Christian station.  I don't follow pop music--I like finding indie groups, listen to classical, jazz, folk, random stuff.  I feel weird knowing things that I probably shouldn't have heard.  I don't have a TV in my room.  I look on the positive side.  I make it a point to go to weekday chapel whenever I can.  I go to bed early and get up early.  I drive a minivan.  I don't really watch movies.  The walls of my room display hand drawn pictures from my little brother.  My ears aren't pierced.  I own only two pairs of jeans that aren't too worn to wear in public.  I don't drink coffee or soda--I drink tea.  It's ridiculously hard for me to do something half-heartedly.  I don't swear.  I hold myself to high standards.  I take the time to honestly ask people how they are doing and expect an answer more than just "fine."  I don't like to judge people solely based on what other people say about them--I like making my own opinions.  I'm not competitive.  My idea of having a good time? Getting up early on a Sunday morning and helping make the communion bread for chapel. Watching the sunset. Practicing trombone for an hour on a Saturday night.
You can't pin a label on me--I'm much more than what you think.


In a world of chocolate ice cream, I'm proud to be vanilla.
Not bland or boring, but unique.  Not conforming to somebody else's standards of flavor, etc.
Ready to add whatever toppings I want, just because I can.
Not afraid to be different.
