AskMe: How to become an eccentric (or just look like one)

Suggest eccentricities for me to adopt | Ask MetaFilter From a fun AskMe thread:
This reminds me of that stage where teenage girls randomly start to affect a terrible british accent, or when college freshmen suddenly stop wearing shoes and take up raw foods and the shakuhachi. Of course, this is not to say that I haven't had ideas of my own. ’Fess up: what was your goofiest affectation and what made you stop it? Clarification (2006-07-15 10:20:20): The "In my quest..." portion above is a quotation from the link that is referenced; it's not actually me asking for help to (God forbid) become more eccentric. This confused some people, and, well, I regret your confusion if you have any and hope this clarification helps. -- The Management 98 Comments

I think that it was pretty much agreed upon by all of my classmates that I was the biggest dork in our small school, so in order to solidify this, and to maintain some bit of order to boot, I started carrying a briefcase to every class. This was my last year of elementary school. My cousin heard about this and tried it as well. I don't know how I managed to stop doing that without people noticing. » POSTED IN:
