Normie's
A HA! It's a widely used term. The normie. I saw in Scouts comment to links that she was waiting for JW to use her magic and make her a normie.

This blog was born out of a collective mind and formed with collective ideas; we hope it will grow out of collective experience. This community project belongs to all of us; it is a place to share your strength, weakness, hope, fears, wisdom, knowledge, and experience. It is a place for you to ask questions and to give answers based on your own experience. It is a safe harbor for those of us both in and out of recovery, as well as for the men and women who are attempting to understand and support us.
Since most of us here have our own blog’s, I have been faced with the question; what should be posted here? My answer is: anything and everything as long as you stick to the guidelines (The Write Way) listed below. Stick to your personal experience, and no subject is too taboo or off limits. Please be fearless in your posting. Every question is important, and all shared experiences are priceless. Everything has a place in this blog.

In the town where I went to college, Halloween night was a huge party night...they shut down the main street, and all the college kids dressed up like jackasses and went and drank until their faces fell off. Being much "cooler" than the average college jerkoff, I was usually high on some kind of psychosis-inducing cocktail. This year, it was a quarter of mushrooms and several lines of coke.
I got on the elevator, hands in my pockets and minding my own business, and a drunken, slurring woman looked at me and said, "What, you're not drinking? Staying home to study?"
It made me FURIOUS. NO, I thought, I'M NOT DRINKING. I'M GOING FUCKING NUTS OVER HERE, SEEING SEA CREATURES POPPING OUT OF YOUR CUNT YOU DRAGON-BREATHED BITCH.
So even back when I wasn't a Normie, I didn't like being mistaken for one.
Sometimes, though, when I'm really healthy, I can think that it's better to be us, cloaked in normie-dom...that way, nobody can see us coming...
Normie. Ha! One assumes someone has taken a poll and determined the exact middle of what emotion should be. But the truth is no one had bothered with a poll. Perhaps that is why we all get so agitated by the word. Or perhaps it is because we know deep down inside we are all splendidly, fabulously unique. Try and fine the middle of that!
I get this one, Mantra. I can only joke about JW magic wand to make me a normie cause I'm already NOT one. If I WAS one, I'd be out there looking around for something to make me NOT one.
I think that's how I picked up in the first place -- trying NOT to be a normie. lol.
I like the T-Shirt ideas. Both of them are fabulous.
Peace,

Sure could have saved alot of money if I had been a normie. If I had it to go over, I would stay a normie, and never use.......Ahhh Hindsight 20/20.
To so many I am the mild mannered, straight-laced Southern gentleman that neither smokes, drinks, and rarely curses. But my trusted companions, they know I venture out into the night clad in my puke green TDA cape and leotards fighting recovery injustices wherever I may find them. Cloaked in the painful armor of my many years of debauchery and moral depravity I am impervious to the accusing stares of those who would pigeonhole me.
I strive to be normal, so that I may have the resources to utilize the power of my alter ego Abbie Norma to promote sobriety and recovery.
