Normal. Weird. Black. White. Whatever.

Ok. I'm sitting here listenig to Cheyenne Kimball. Some of you may know who she is others may not, but I have been a closet fan for about three years. I know its like anyway who is she and what does she have to do with your post? Well I bring this up because she made me think of something. Every since I was about in the sixth grade my peers has considered me weird and a white girl. Ok first of all I'm black [well mostly]. Second why would I be considered a white girl??? Is it because I would rather listen to rock than rap, I would rather hang at the beach all day instead of going to a house party. I never understood why people called me a white girl. Ok so when I dance sometime I can't find the beat. Yeah I'm lighter than the average black person [probably lighter than some white people], but I could not name one white person I'm related to. I can name a hundred black people with whom I share blood. what makes a person white or black if it isn't family??? Ok so this normal and weird thing has been hitting me forever too. Ok i know I'm not the most common girl you would meet. I do, say, and wear some things that are unheard of occassionally. I have been called weird for all of my days. The things that most people find weird are normal to me so are they all weird? How can the whole world be weird and only I be normal??? Maybe the people that consume the planet are mere generic creatures while I am authentic. I'm just surrounded by those who are too afraid to step outside of the box and be creative. I said I need one original thing but it turns out I am the original thing.
