"Eclectic" Is the Word of the Day
Seeing as I have been sick and haven't done much of anything, I haven't had any ideas for blog entries. You see, this is when co-blogger Josh would step in and save me and write a few posts (or at least one) to keep you readers (or the reader) entertained. But he seems to be too lazy.
In other news, I was thinking last night...does anyone think I am a weird person? What makes someone weird? I don't think I am that weird...am I? I admit I am more than a little unique...especially for Davidson County. Or maybe, it is as my friend, Ron, put it "You seem to have weird things happen to you." Do I really, or do I just find weird things in normal situations? Ok ok, I'll give you an example. This church thing I went to on Friday. We were trying to sing a song that (probably) no one knew. In the middle of the song, the woman leading it stopped and said, "This sounds horrible! We all have to sing in the same pitch or it won't work!" Eek. I have never been told off at church. I mean, even if you can't sing, everyone is happy that you are at least trying, right? I saw that as weird. Maybe no one else picked up on its "uniqueness."
I do know some unique stuff about me:
- My family is the only Mazur in the local phone book.
- Keeping with Mazur theme, the Rolling Stones tongue logo was designed by a Mazur and we have two professors at Harvard.
- A college I applied to wrote me a letter asking me why I had a "felony on my record."
- If I was only one inch shorter, I could get a scholarship for little people.
- Our family has gotten a check in the mail for $0.73.....it was so funny we framed it.
- Our cat is half named after a dog (from the television show Frazier); our cat's name is Furry Murry.
- We use to have a microwave that was old enough to drink and drive.
- For some reason, I have developed the habit of only slightly opening my can drinks; not pressing the tab all the way forward and all the way back like most people.
- I was so small when I was born, my parents had to take me to a "height" doctor.
- I'm sure I have met George Michael's (secret) twin brother while white-water rafting.
I'm sure I will think of more later, but do you see my point? Really, how many people get letters asking about any criminal records or have a framed check around their house?
I guess we are all a bit weird in a way. I'm sure everyone has something unusual about them. These are just a few of my more...eclectic...characteristics.

And its true, only y'all get these things. Why not share the uniqueness?
My lovely friend, Misty, and I have developed the theory that the word "normal" doesn't exist. Since we are all different from one another in one way and we all view different things as being normal for ourselves, there's no normal that fits all of us. There is a majority, but nothing normal.
In other words, don't fret, we're all weird in one way or another. My dad has his own hot sauce business. The firt summer I have a boyfriend, he's at boot camp. My mom has three different, interesting jobs in the school year and 2 during the summer. And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head!!!
And some "weird" things are actually pretty cool---like a Mazur designing the Rolling Stones' symbol and me dating a Marine!
Emily, remember this : You are unique, just like everyone else! Also know that you are the only cheerleader that I actually enjoy talking to...and I mean the ONLY one, so feel special! As far as being wierd goes...I wrote the book! You know this as well as I do! Come on! I dont even have eyelashes, and I am alergic to every "soothing" thing that you could ever put on your skin!! And that is ONLY the BEGINNING!! Hehe, no worries, I think a lot of your oddities are cool...enjoy them...(and keep your foam-padded stick at the ready!!)
Much Love,
DeAnna
