I'm not normal. I'm a freak. Different. Strange. Weird. That's what they said, anyway. I'm just me. The same old Jazdin. Or Jazzy by my friends. But, I was told about this place. Told that I'd fit in here.

I am completely normal, @Jazdin. I am a square. Average. Ordinary. Traditional. And they call me Jazzy too! I would be happy to show you around the school.

@Pineapple Head is normal too. Everybody says pineapple heads are freaks, @Jazdin, that they are "different" and "strange" just because our heads are tall and have big pointy green leaves growing out of them and our faces are rough and brown and spikey and we bruise easily after we're ripe and ooze juices and attract yellow jackets and wasps and when we swing at them with our spaghetti spoons we miss and hit other people in their eyes.

But everybody is wrong, @Jazdin, because I am just as normal as @Jasmine.

Do you like yellow jackets?

Normal. Now that's a goal to strive for. No eccentricities, no obvious flaws, no off-putting opinions, no weirdness. Just to blend in with morden man (and woman) and not worry about self-consciousness. But is there such a thing as normal? Aren't we all odd in some way, shape or form? Don't we all posess an abnormality? And even if we could identify what normal is, how could one maintain that fake personality?

Actually, my roommate said she has a brother who's AP Mentality Facades group perfected a technique to make a person 100% normal. So that's always an option. She says it's permanent, but she tends to exaggerate to make her brother sound cooler. It probably lasts a day. I don't know if it works on @Pineapple Heads either. It might be worth a shot if it means being an average human for a while though. Haven't we all yearned for that? ...Really? Nobody has ever felt that way? Yeesh, tough crowd.

I wouldn't mind being normal for a little bit.

...

...Normal?

Normal...

Regular. Plain. Ordinary. Natural. Typic. Routine. General. Orderly.Conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. The usual, average, or typical state or condition.

That sounds beautiful.

Hi again!

Its been a while I know. The work Elsa and I were doing with Professor Silver in the cave before school started got totally interupted because Prof. Silver (he lets us call him Frank) got called in to help Mrs. Bherdol with the Pixie Incident. I'm calling it The Pixie Incident 2015! What a calamity. But here is the thing...the pixies had a positive effect on the "thing"(I'll start putting quotes around it, some folks complained, I just don't want to draw attention to it by capitalizing and having it get confused with other "things" cuz there are lots of different "things"). It's growth has slowed..its still there obviously and something I have to deal with but I am still here and the world is still safe! Frank, Elsa and I will continute our intensive studies on Elder Giant culture later in October so I get to focus on classes and stuff now for a few weeks.

Oh and Elsa has chilled a bit. I think having a prime directive..i.e...protecting me from evil and junk was stressing her out but The Pixie Incident seems to have redirected her energy a bit. She has also met a cool boy! He is not a giant, but he is extremely tall. To be honest and stuff, I am a little jealous. Of course, totally akward giantess with severe insecurities and no social skills hooks up with tall hottie. Sigh. High School can suck even if you get to go to the coolest High School in town.

A lot of kids have been writing in their journals lately about what it means to be normal here. Or weird. Or whatevs. Seriously people, I have a "thing" and my roomate is a giantess. Its just like regular High School. I'ts just that we students along with our parents were searching for that "different" high school experience. "Alternative School" is how Elsa describes this place. My parents wanted me at a place with "experiential learning objectives". I actually wanted to attend my neighborhood high school. I have a lot of friends there and I thought it might be cool to hang around people who AREN'T ghosts, or giants or wereraccoons. But hey, high school is high school no matter where you look. No teens are normal. Actually I take that back @Pineapple Head, I heard your mom is starting the school's first PTSA, THAT is normal for ya! Elsa and I are going to the first meeting!!

See ya there!

Dear Somebody,
Did you know that if you prick your finger on one of the thorn bushes torwards the back of the gardens that you'll fall into a deep coma-like sleep for several days? No one even noticed I was laying on the ground of the garden. I may or may not have been invisible. But still. I have bruises, so I know at least one person tripped over me. I'm not quite sure how long I've been out though. Or what day it is. I never know what day it is, actually. But still.
Hopefully my absence won't count against me in class.

I need to go find some sprinkles. I haven't had any since I pricked my finger. At least Claude is here to lead me back. Apparently he kept an eye on me the entire time. *rubs eyes and yawns* I hate enchanted naps. They always make you so groggy and confused. And they leave a bad aftertaste in your mouth. Like overripe cherries and banana peels. Or maybe that was the flavour of sprinkles I was eating before I fell asleep.

In other news, @Gretel, I most certainly have not ever wanted to be Normal. I don't know why you would think that. I would never ever want to be Normal, to be accepted, to be...loved. Nope. Not me. *nervous laughter* I don't know why people would want to be Normal. Not at all. @Rainbow Tracie has a point. I think. And technically we are all normal. As @Scilph said, Normal is "usual, typical, or expected. The usual, average, or typical state or condition". Here at Psyhigh WE are the usual and typical condition, no matter how untypical or unusual. Here is where the strange are average. And anyway, if everyone has some oddities and no one is completely Normal, than that becomes the Average, which means everyone is Normal. A completely Normal person would, in fact, be Abnormal.

...Right?

I need some sprinkles. And..Mushroom soup. I'm craving mushroom soup for some reason. Shiitake mushrooms. Wait, no. Portobella mushrooms. I don't know where to find any, though. *sigh* I'll just eat sprinkles.

Farewell for now,
Nobody

School projects are SO MUCH FUN!!!!! My entire week has been consumed by them!!! I love being able to make a big poster and show it to my class and dunk it into sprinkles and use highlighters but I don't like when the highlighters I borrowed from Frankie (Hey bestie!!!!) actually contain pure visible light waves of that color and temporarily blind my classmates!!!!!! Anywho, I'm sure that once Pacifica comes home with the groceries and white-out, the poster will be perfectly perfect again!!!!! If not... then I get to spend the next 5 hours re-creating a presentation about the mist inside of crystal balls!!! YAY!!!!!

Taking a break from school work (even I hate it sometimes! *giggle*) some of my besties have been really philosophical lately! Besides discussing free will versus destiny (a compelling topic to be sure!!!!) they've also been musing about what it is to be normal!!! What a weird thing to focus on! Haven't you guys ever read those awesome inspirational posters?!? The ones with pictures of dolphins jumping and eagles soaring and kittens precariously hanging from branches?!? I've got the whole collection put up on my half of the bedroom!!! One of them has a herd of zebras, but one zebra, the middle zebra, is wearing a funky hat with spots and rainbow colors and silly glasses!!! And the caption says "Embrace who you really are, even if you stand out." That's, like, my life motto on Tuesdays!!!! I even bought that exact hat off E-Bay for $250.99!!!!!! It was SO WORTH IT.

Normalcy is over-rated guys! There are people who would kill to be as powerful as us! To see the things we see! To take classes on shadow manipulation and couch negotiations and space-time continuum babysitting! Like, Paci and mine's tutor has helped us so much with our luck influence powers! Look, when I manipulate luck you can almost SEE IT now! *squeezes eyes shut* *focuses* *influences luck* *pale lime glow is barely visible near front door* *paper is slid under Atlantica's dorm's door*

Did ya see it? Did ya see it? Oh... you probably didn't. Computers and journals not having cameras and all. Well, I'll just have to show all my besties this trick in PERSON!!!! It'll be like bestie BONDING!!!!

Hey, what's this paper? Did I make this appear? Hmm... I don't know how it got here. Mystery letter, cool!!!! Maybe it's from Santa Claus! I'm his biggest fan!!!!! Oh, wait, it's addressed to @Pacifica... from Don?

*shrug* I don't have time to deal with this, I need to head out to @timberlina's party before dark! We're going to have the best time EVER! I even got some mice for all her owl besties! I CAN NOT WAIT!!!! *happy dance*
