Have you ever been through a strange phase in your life?

I've gone through many periods when I was particularly interested in one thing or another but most of the time it hasn't affected my behavior on a whole, e.g. my style of dress or the way I talk or whatever. But for a little bit I did sort of go through a phase where I tried to represent my ethnic roots a lot more by wearing traditional garments and adding a lot of folk music to my library. I still listen to the music but not as much, and as pretty as the style of clothing was, it didn't really work for me.
