"I don't care if people say I'm not normal. I'm not. I'm better than normal."

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 6:42 pm

Haley didn't really know what to make of this conversation. She entered it feeling a bit defensive of her new friend but she seemed to be holding her own alright. She had no idea what to make of this girl who made Haley feel tall.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 8:46 pm

"Oh, so you think you're better than other people. I gotcha," Violet says.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 8:51 pm

"Well, I can fly. That means I'm better at flying than a lot of people."

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 8:56 pm

"You also better 'cause you're attracted to people 'normally'?" Violet asks sharply. "Are people that are taller than me 'better'?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:01 pm

"What the hell is your deal?" Haley finally chimed in.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:10 pm

"My deal? My deal is that blondie thinks that she's 'normal' 'cause she's never thought about hopping into bed with a girl," Violet snaps at Haley. "You think that's okay? To treat people that score higher than a '0' on the Kinsey scale like the bigots outside the school gate treat mutants? 'Cause if you do, both of y'all can fuck straight off."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:14 pm

"That's not what I said at all!"

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:31 pm

"Or maybe not everyone feels the need to talk super honestly about sex with someone they just met? Or maybe you shouldn't snap to judgement about someone you met all of ten minutes ago?"

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:32 pm

"I judge people based off what they say and do," Violet says. "And that's exactly what ya said. You said you always felt 'normal', yeah? How the fuck else am I supposed to take that?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:35 pm

"It's an expression, Jesus Christ, are you actively looking for things to feel prosecuted about?"

Haley still wasn't that great with words sometimes. The word she was looking for would be "persecuted."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 10:01 pm

"Well most people are one way, so that's normal, yeah? Just like most people don't have wings, so that's normal too." Nailah says, still not really getting it.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 10:08 pm

"Yeah and it's that sort of thinking that puts a mob in front of the school, ready to kick the shit out of you for not being 'normal'," Violet says. "And you've internalized their crap. You think the same way they do."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 10:16 pm

"But I don't why not being normal is bad. Isn't that what it means when you say someone is special?"

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 10:24 pm

"It's not the same thing at all," Violet says. "Something is special or unique, it's precious. Something that isn't normal is just alien. It's something you don't recognize. It's some other thing."

"I mean, do you ever hear anyone say 'she's not normal' in a positive way?" Violet asks, "Or is always followed up with 'so get the pitchforks and torches so we can chase her out of town'?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 10:40 pm

"Well... Then what should it be called instead?"

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 12:12 am

"Why should it be called anything?" Violet asks. "Why do you need to put things into categories in the first place?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 12:18 am

"Yeah you're right, how silly to have names for things. Person-with-blonde-hair-who-I-just-met. What a pleasure to be sitting in this place at this thing, drinking some liquid maybe." Nailah says, some anger bubbling through her usually fairly chipper and naive surface.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 12:24 am

"Fuck off," Violet says. "You know what I mean. There's no such fucking thing as 'normal'. We're all different from one another. The things that make people normal? How we look, who we fuck, what genes we got? That shit's all fucking political."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 12:32 am

"Fine, whatever, get upset over a word, I don't care. People got things in common and if enough people got that in common they call it normal. Doesn't make it bad to not be part of that, but since you're apparently so set on seeing it that way then maybe you should ask yourself why you'd rather assume that makes you a freak than special."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 12:40 am

"oh. My. God. Who *is* this bitch?" Haley thought at Nailah.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 12:58 am

"And maybe you should get off your fucking high horse and wonder why someone who's actually a member of a group has a problem with a word instead of assuming because you're fine with it, it's okay," Violet says. "Or don't. Who gives a shit? Keep on drawing from your lifetime of experience as a prissy hetero bitch to tell other people how they should feel."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 1:07 am

"Oh yeah cause I have no idea what it's like not being normal." she growls.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 1:12 am

"And because of that you get to speak for everyone else? Is that it?" Violet snaps back.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 1:16 am

"I never said I was speaking for anybody but myself!"

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 1:22 am

"Yeah, but you're applying it to me, because the issue is why I have a problem with you referring to my sex life as the opposite of 'normal'," Violet says.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 1:37 am

"Oh..." she just says, shrinking down a little in her seat.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 2:03 am

For a minute Violet looks smug, but when she sees Nailah shrinking, she sighs heavily. "Oh for fuck sake..."

Why does she have to look so cute-like? It feels like kicking an adorable kitten. Christ.

"Look. I'm...sorry," Violet says. "I got a temper and I can be a stubborn bitch sometimes. I know you didn't mean anything awful. So maybe....maybe, mind you...I'm overreacting. A little bit. Like, a tiny amount."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 2:07 am

"Maybe a little bit." she says with a good-natured snicker that seems to break the tension. "And I'm sorry for being so catty."

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 2:10 am

"S'okay, I like cats," Violet says, smiling a bit.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 2:16 am

"I'd buy you a drink to apologize, but you'd have to wait a couple months..."

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 2:23 am

"Nah, I'll get you," Violet says. "Your friend want one?"

by **Haley Crusek** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 4:18 am

"Sure," Haley replied, confused more than anything by this entire conversation.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 6:40 pm

Violet hops down and heads to the bar, returning with three beers.

"If anyone asks, ya totally got these from me," Violet says.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 6:46 pm

"Thanks. I'm Nailah, by the way."

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 6:49 pm

"Violet," Violet says. "Good to meetcha."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 2:05 am

"Haley," she said extending her hand for a shake.

by **Violet Vilhjalmsson** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 2:09 am

Violet shakes her hand, "Good to meetcha, Haley."

"Nailah didn't mention you. She must not think you're very hot," Violet teases.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 2:19 am

Nailah turns seven kinds of red and almost spits out the beer she's been sipping on.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 3:33 am

Not needing to be a telepath to sense her friend's discomfort, she just smirked. "Well I don't swing that way anyhow, but I ain't hot."
