Chapter one-


I am not normal. I am anything but normal. Of
course, I appear to be, but that&#39;s only because you haven&#39;t seen me wearing crazy hats through the grocery store yet. I always wear crazy hats through the grocery store when the mood strikes me. Another thing that you must know is the fact that my
family isn&#39;t normal either. When I think about things that we would... ]]>

boyfriend&#39;s camera, which means that I don&#39;t get ahold of it, which also means that it&#39;s exceptionally hard to get any of the pictures on my

head that said. &quot;Y&#39;know, I think that I posted something in the writing section of the Sanctum. Perhaps I should check on it&quot; and that&#39;s it. ]]></description>

explaining things... magh. Especially when the point should have been clear, and then I have to in depth. But really, I was trying to convince you of the fact
that my family is not normal. And now I&#39;ve got to figure out how to fix this... somehow. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Is this a story or a &quot;my family&#39;s crazy&quot; contest you&#39;re trying to write here? If you want to write about a weird family, and you want to use
examples from your own life, go ahead and do it. If it&#39;s that hard to explain, though, then writing about it and convincing the reader you&#39;re not just
being overly dramatic may be a tricky proposition. ]]></description>

You say this like it is supposed to be a surprise to us. I dunno &#39;bout Lil and Lethe, but I was pretty sure it was based on reality, and this does not
change my verdict. Your family = fairly normal, if these are supposed to be weird things. ]]></description>

the more &quot;unusual&quot; rather than weird.
<br>
I have more, too. OK, well... I&#39;m gonna come up with stuff. The family wasn&#39;t supposed to be overly abnormal, but a tad bit strange. Enough to make
people want to back away sometimes though. And I actually do play tablas by the way, but I always have to spend way to long... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ On the one hand, I like the repetition of &quot;except for&quot; throughout the passage - repetition is a nice technique, and keeps things in peoples&#39;
heads for much longer than usual.

On the other hand, the grammar is off by a proverbial mile. &quot;Except for&quot; must must <em>must</em> be followed by a noun clause without active verb or
pronoun. &quot;Except for we have a bed in our living room&quot; is incorrect; &quot;except for the bed that we have in our living... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I am gonna agree with Lilith, my old room mates slept in the living room, and I&#39;ve known people who played tablas professionally, so that&#39;s more
&#39;unusual&#39; or &#39;rare&#39; but not really what I&#39;d consider &#39;weird&#39;. It sounds like a fairly reasonable family to me, so... Maybe crank up
the &#39;oddity&#39; if that&#39;s where it needs to go. Unless of course, the point may be that the family&#39;s not actually all that different from anyone
and the main character... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, it&#39;s an interesting concept, certainly. But I think you could find weirder stuff to make the family seem more &quot;not normal.&quot; A bed in the
living room, while strange, isn&#39;t something that someone would say &quot;THAT&#39;S SO WEIRD&quot; at. After all, many people have at least fold-out
couches or futons in their living rooms. That isn&#39;t the same thing, I know, but it&#39;s similar enough to make it not &quot;anything but normal.&quot; And
a cat wearing a red bow... ]]></description>
