An enormous number of people tweeted the “Stay weird, stay different” quote from yesterday’s Oscars. Each one of this uniform crowd that did the exact same thing at the exact same time while watching the exact same show experienced the exact same fuzzy feeling of being appreciated for their weirdness and difference.
Do people even realize how incredibly boring this is?
Oh, Clarissa we are all special snowflakes with unique DNA and phenotypes and linearly sequenced lives on the time-space continuum. Just like everyone else.
What do you expect from live-tweet reactions to extreme joy or sadness?

I don’t think any viewers experienced extreme joy or sadness on the subject of the Oscars. If they did, that would indeed be weird and different. 🙂

LOL. Oh gosh… it’s so funny how all of us think we’re all so weird and different, when really so much of what we do on a daily basis is a result of conforming to the hegemony. The really weird and really different people don’t seem to be completely aware of their eccentricities. And if they are, they certainly don’t promote being “just like them” — that is, weird and different. sigh….

Yes, nothing is more fashionable today than being weird and different. 🙂 🙂
