Today, I told my parents that what I'd really like for my 21st birthday is the 1865 edition of the Memoirs of Saint-Simon in 22 volumes that I found online for $200, and have been wanting for months. They laughed and said, "Yeah, right. We'll get you an iPhone and perhaps you'll become normal." FML

This one is not mine. It is the actual lyrics to a song about Saint Simon by a band called the Shins. Pretty cool huh?

Sell the iPhone, buy the books yourself and you will have loads of money left over

Tell your parents normal is a matter of opinion.

#46, no, normal is a matter of statistics. Whether being normal is better or not, that is a matter of opinion. If the vast majority of people believe in astrology, but you don't, you are not normal. Of course, you are smarter and more rational than the majority, but the adjective normal doesn't apply to you in this case.

Actually, normal is just a setting on the dryer. Those who claim they are "normal" are simply in denial.

"Normal person" is a "boring person". You can sell or return back your IPhone and get those books you wanted.
