I'm so normal, it's weird.
Seriously, look around you, how much of what other people consider "normal" you would consider, to put it mildly, retarded ?
Normal people where I live drink lots of alcohol - I don't drink.
Normal people can spend hours arguing over politics - I'd vomit.
Normal people sit in front of their tv's getting brain fuc*ed by idiotic tv - i don't.
Normal people listen to what's on the radio - usually it makes me puke.
Normal people don't question authority - I can't stop doing that.
Normal people hardly ever use their brains for more than basic motor functions and whatnot - I can't turn it off.
Normal people care where they shouldn't and don't care about what they should - I have my priorities completely mixed up, if we use "normal" folks as reference.

I don't consider myself normal, in fact to me being "normal" is an insult. And it's not about how you look - I don't have any piercings, tattoos and whatnot. I know quite a few people that have piercings in weirdest places, ink all over, and all that so they can look "unique" when at the same time, they think and judge just like the "normal" folks do.
I've found that often the most interesting people look and act really plain, but they have their own opinions and their own goals, they don't follow the herd.
I've been called weird because I couldn't care less about some bs story floating around that doesn't concern me at all. I've been called weird because I can detach emotionally - in 9/10 cases of whatever, unless I'm personally involved in this, I can see the points of both sides and remain neutral.
I've gotten weird stares when people don't catch my sarcasm, in fact I had to limit it.
I've been called weird because I have friends from various different subcultures.
I've been called weird by rock fans because I listen to hip hop, and called weird by hip hop fans because I listen to rock.
I've been called weird because I'm a pacifist (due to traumatic personal events, really) that's utterly fascinated by military equipment, tactics and history.
I've been called weird because I hate double standards and can't stop myself from mocking those that use them.
How's that ? I could go on if you'd like (I know you wouldn't, don't worry - i won't :P).
Yac.

I agree with the majority of this post.

I think most of you people are mistaking the human nature of individual thought and behavior for weirdness, as though it's some sort of deviation from the broader scope of humankind as a whole, when in reality there are likely to be clusters of all types and behaviors that muddy this black and white line we create in order to separate ourselves from others because we're so incapable of empathy and broader perspective that the only options our little brains present to us are comprised of "what I observe, therefore, totality".

I think the majority of what we personally think we know about ourselves and others is just about as relevant and substantive as our egos will allow it to be. I don't think it goes further than that. And I guess that if I thought all you folks who walk around thinking you're weird are actually just starved for some sort of personal validation and meaning for your thoughts and behavior to create some arbitrary, meaningless position for yourself in the hierarchy of human interaction, then I guess, ultimately, I'm no better than you are.

Welcome to our own pool of shit. We all swim in it. The only difference is most of think it's fucking candy bars and chocolate milk.

I guess growing up I was isolated from my peers and told how weird I was. Eventually I embraced that and thought fuck you, so what if I'm weird there are plenty of other freaks and everyone else is an ass-hole. I guess much later I realised that I was just voluntarily isolated which had much the same effect. Finally I stopped caring what other people thought about me and just got on with my life. You can find common ground with people across all strata just as often as you can find ass-holes.
