Are You Eccentric?

Am I eccentric...?

My Barbies & Joes don't think so.

I do things by fours: counting, sips of beverages, how many things I keep in my bag, etc. I also occasionally walk around in infinity symbols.

Exactly! I learned on a manual typewriter too! And all the white out, even after electric typewriters were common.

I spent more time correcting words with whiteout than actually typing! Had to pull the paper out, white out the words that were wrong, then somehow manage to get the paper back to the same place where the word was spelled incorrectly. And I thought it was sophisticated.

I still have white out in my old desk drawer.

Look for whiteout on the screen.

White out is also the artist's friend. One famous cartoonist had been re-doing cartoons for years before a colleague stopped by at the right time.
For a typewriter, I thought that correction tape made more sense. Backspace, insert tape, and repeat error. Later models had it built in.
I have also re-inked dozens of ribbons for pin based computer printers, and re-filled many ink cartridges.

I think a lot of people would consider me eccentric. I do not really follow many rules or care about other people's opinions of me. I have my interests and my hobbies, but I do not really like talking about them. I am not interested in politics or other people really.

The one thing I really do have in common with most people though is that my biggest goal in life is to be in a loving relationship someday. Alas this is something I have never gotten to experience before. It is tough. It has been the great struggle of my life. Whether this makes me more or less eccentric I really cannot say.

I guess I am eccentric in the sense that I do not care what other people think of my only real goal or desire from life. Because I have learned if I do not continue to put myself out there no one will ever see me and want to date me. So no matter what I need to keep putting myself out there online until I meet the right person.
