AskMe: How to become an eccentric (or just look like one)

Suggest eccentricities for me to adopt | Ask MetaFilter From a fun AskMe thread:
This reminds me of that stage where teenage girls randomly start to affect a terrible british accent, or when college freshmen suddenly stop wearing shoes and take up raw foods and the shakuhachi. Of course, this is not to say that I haven't had ideas of my own. ’Fess up: what was your goofiest affectation and what made you stop it? Clarification (2006-07-15 10:20:20): The "In my quest..." portion above is a quotation from the link that is referenced; it's not actually me asking for help to (God forbid) become more eccentric. This confused some people, and, well, I regret your confusion if you have any and hope this clarification helps. -- The Management 98 Comments

In last year of high school & freshman year college, I took all my notes for classes in Norse runes I had learned when a friend and I read Lord of the Rings. I also wrote veryverytiny... in Norse runes. I wrote a lot of "short stories" then, too -- can't read any of it now, even if I could SEE it. I think I also told people in my fourth grade class I was an android....and sometimes that I was a Vulcan. And sometimes that I was a Vulcan android. » POSTED IN:
