AskMe: How to become an eccentric (or just look like one)
Merlin Mann | Jul 13 2006
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

 In 7th grade for about...Submitted by illiana (not verified) on July 14, 2006 - 5:18am.
In 7th grade for about 6 months I wore lots of metal bracelets that would clink together alot. I told people I wanted to be a gypsy when I grew up. I remember one time my dad came to school with me (something like the reverse of take your daughter to work day) and the kids in one of my classes thought they would get me into trouble with him by telling him I wanted to be a gypsy. He told them that was fine. If at all possible, I loved him more for that. » POSTED IN:
