An unfinished sentence of mine and responses it elicited in September 1988:
"Normal" is best defined as...
...the group that is the majority at that time--punks, skaters, etc. (Elizabeth M.)
...a term used to describe one who is no longer manifesting in character. (Jason F.)
...a state of mediocrity in which many people unfortunately live. (Will S.)
...terrible--allowing the opinions of others to take over you. (Kristin K.)
...an abstract thought to signify what everyone else thinks is right. (Mark R.)
...someone who is completely boring. (Greg H.)
