Don't worry, I'll be wearing a tie, changing my hair style, and wearing a studded cap. Look snazzy on the first day of bowling season, and decrease the chances of unattractive girls hitting on me!
Or you could tell them there unattractive to their face. OR in all honesty just don't even look or talk to them. I've never had unattractive girls hit on me but this should work.

I know a lot of eccentric people, lol. The smarter they are, the more eccentric. There's one dropout med student who became a professional terrorist with lots of religious knowledge and medical experience, came back to Malaysia, got arrested for crime, taught religion to convicts. Since he was a religious professional, he actually taught it properly and reformed many of them. When he got out of jail, he still did some minor bits of crime and corruption, but since he was, deep down, a nice guy who's friends with exconvincts, the police decided to take him as an undercover officer, in exchange for letting past some of his smaller crimes. They couldn't get enough evidence to charge him for some of his crimes anyway.
Plenty of others, but I'll leave that to later. I find that the smartest people are the weirdest.

So do I. Then of course, once they get too weird, you start to wonder if that seemingly-high intelligence isn't really that intelligent. But maybe that's wisdom, not intelligence. Most people I know who are smart aren't really wise, and tend to get caught up in things without making their own logical decisions. Most people I know who are wise are very smart though. Sometimes you wonder if the really eccentric people who are goofy but sometimes spontaneously profound thinkers are wise, (and use humor as a stress release valve--I know I'm like that.) and if certain ways of seeing things are shared between people of the same levels of intelligence and wisdom. Sometimes you can tell by the look in people's eyes, sometimes people are hard nuts to crack--I can't figure out if that's a trait of cunning or of plain ol' simplemindedness. Probably both.
Sometimes people are just nuts.
If I kept going I'd be here for a while. I'm of the firm belief that slightly eccentric/goofy people are the best and most amiable and intelligent people on earth, though not always wise. (80/20 with the wise)
Oh gee, all of that made more sense in my head. That's what I get for trying to put it into words. >_>;; It's too late for thinking. Bed.
We used to go on midnight walks with our acoustic guitars, wandering the streets having a jam. Or...
... impromptu BBQs but you later realise theres little food.
We're not much normal around here though. In them there hills you have to do your own thing.
Heh, OMC, I always kinda felt that after reaching a certain point, a guy's brain snaps. The smartest people I know - they've snapped too many times. I think going past that sanity point makes them what they are.

You're probably right, Muz. People are definitely interesting. The cases I've encountered are never dramatic, though. You can just tell when someone's a little... off.
Oh God Jay, you're not of those fellas who take guitars out and sit around in a circle are you?
Despise the bastards.
The most eccentric person I know might be a guy I used to know called Richard who would bring four litres of coke to drink at dinner at school, and two full packets of chocolate digestives - just those things only - and then spend the whole of the dinner hour, and the afternoon's lessons, running around because sugar made him go hyper. And there wasn't an inch of fat on him. I don't know if that makes him eccentric or just a bit of a twat, but I guess the difference is minimal anyway.
Most eccentric person I know in real life is probably my oldest brother. The first student loan he got went a two day trip to Madrid when his best friend phoned him during a lecture and told him she was bored

Driving through Moss Side playing Barbie Girl and Venga Boy tracks wasn't probably the best idea too. Especially not with the chase that followed. Luckily we were in a BMW and whilst all the gangster folk cars look powerful they're just old cars painted gold.
Also according to the OP this thread is about being eccentric, not living on the edge ?
"In popular usage, eccentricity refers to unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual." Or did I misread the topic?
Well, I know this one med- student who insists that he is a millionaire with shaman like healing powers. I don't know if that is true, but just saying that is eccentric in my book.
But the only really eccentric thing I have seen him do is to walk up to complete strangers and talk to them about whatever. "Psychological experiments" he calls them.
Other than that I know about alot of people who'd do zaney things and strange habits, but I can't think of any "eccentric" people.
And then there is the Internet people of course, but they don't count, do they?

I used to do that in school, but 1.5L of Pepsi instead of 4. And I mixed it with yogurt.
Hell, I was more eccentric than that. Actually did the psychological experiments thing too in high school, but the opposite of talking to strangers about whatever

..of course there are always the people at college who are 17/18 yet somehow act like they are a good 30-40 years old. Speaking as if they are above everyone and so much more mature. It's a bit sad because they are so caught up in doing this shit that they haven't really lived. At all.
And then there are just a lot of freaks, but that's what made college fun I kind of miss being there. One of my old primary school friends who I lost contact with until later in highschool and college became a white supremacist purely because he was apparently German and started self-harming and all that 13 year old bullshit, the irony here is that one of his best friends was black (go figure) and they both subscribed to the emo/goth label. Straaange..

Probably Aspergers.

Everyone I know is eccentric, but I'm just a sane guy in an insane world.
I'm trapped in a box. I see the future, the past, and the present, and I usually forget them all.
Then it all starts over again. Will death bring life? Should I slay them all? Time will tell.
Riddle me this Batman! ... is this person crazy? Can one be sane, insane, crazy, mad, sad, right, wrong, haphazardly happy, and depressed by demons of the menacing maniacal madman mentoring messed mentality, perusing perverse perpetual palindromes all topped with a sesame seed bun?
Does the blue sky make you blue? .. It does me, .. I remember a red sky in a dying dream deafeningly defeated by deterioration doggedly deranged.
What do you remember? Or do you?, I forget.
Blood of the Ancient One, Seen only as Shadow, Faster than Lightning, Fierce as the Greatest Dragon, Nearly Invisible, Floating in a Dream, Entered through the Demon Door, Destroyer of Evil in a Realm with a Red Sky Scarred, Who could I be ?

although a few of my girlfriends uni mates are probably a little crazy too.
It was scary.
