The Combo Platter

I find myself to be a very ordinary person. I suppose, like anybody, I have some parts of me that are more interesting than others. I am a combo platter of emotional overdrive and common sense. Two characteristics that always seem to be in conflict with each other. I react emotionally and than rationally talk myself out of the reaction. A tad schizophrenic at times but it seems to work for me. I think that most people are like this. At least, I haven't met many people who work only on one level, either only emotional or only rational, so this leads me to my conclusion that I am ordinary. I would love to be extraordinary. I would love to feel that there was something distinctively special about me that made me stand out in a crowd. I don't think I am extraordinary in wishing that either so that makes me just that much more ordinary.

Sometimes, thinking that I am ordinary makes me sad. Then again, knowing I am ordinary is somehow comforting too.
