odd


I was kind of an oddball when I was growing up
I loved to read for hours on end
draw, and I could just be happy on my own.
Where as my older sister was always out with friends,
chasing boys and generally getting into some form of
trouble, (of course I was envious wishing I
could be that kind of girl, and looking up 
to my older sister).  But years later when
we were older, my sister told me she
was envious of me because I was
the one who could just be happy, and
had no need to prove herself to others.
Odd?

  1. You and I are so much alike. That was me as a kid, too. I loved reading and drawing. I had one good friend but was never a social butterfly and I'm still not. I like getting together with friends once in awhile but I can be perfectly happy just playing in the studio.

    PS - I love this piece!!

  2. No not odd, actually lucky! Makes life a little easier, because you know ways to recharge. I was the same way and sometimes still like that, but I also learned how to have fun with friends and being extrovert.

    So enjoy your alone time!!!

  3. Each of my siblings are very different from the others. A friend told me once that he enjoyed knowing each of us but, he noticed, that when we all get together, we're like a whole entity. When one of us can't visit, it's as if part of our group personality is missing. Different but all part of our family, ah, puzzle? LOL!

  4. I was like you too... quiet and read a lot and drew at my little desk and was happy. I still have a desk, read - blogs now, and still love to putter around my desk and drawing supplies... maybe we never change?

  6. Most of the people I love and admire and respect were oddballs in their youth. I always struggled so desperately to blend in - I wish now I'd been more comfortable being myself. As a mom I want my son to have an easy road - to be well adjusted and well liked. but then I remember that those people are BORING and sometimes they are jerks and I to be careful what I wish for. LOL. good thing it's out of my control! I love your one-eyed wonder. she's fantastic.

  7. to be an odd ball you have to be able to define normal. we are not odd because there isn't a normal.
