I Am Different [Being Different]

I like being different, always have. There has rarely been anything appealing to me about being normal. But man, it would be nice to be able to normalize myself on command sometimes... Like when I'm in a conversation with someone who doesn't know me, and questions like 'So what do you do?' or 'Are you married' are common and even expected. I don't have normal answers, and I can't really lie so inevitably the conversation derails into the weird, my weird, and I kind of hate it. This nice normal person didn't ask for that, they were just making conversation and I had to go and ruin it. Most of them don't even react all that bad to my weird shit, but there's always a sense of disappointment, like I somehow ruined this nice normal thing we had going on. And I'm sorry, I really am. I wish I could turn it on and off at will.
