I had some unusual friends in college. I'll give you the PG version to not offend anyone.My roommate my freshman year was such a character. She was rich, her father built shopping centers across the country, weighed under 100 lbs, 5 ft 2" with 40D bosom. She waddled when she walked and believe it or not this was a breast reduction. She had a real life crush on Lorne Greene, kept a knockwurst under her pillow, blasted Chuck Berry and was my first encounter with a nymphomaniac. On parents day my parents walked in on her and some guy in the shower. She always had weed and pills of all kinds, later coke with a boyfriend. So many stories but sometimes I had to sleep in the dorm lounge because she had people in the room all night-multiple partners. One night she slept somewhere else and I had some strange guy crawl in bed with me saying "she said I could stay here." She met this guy and moved off campus. He had a roommate she tried to fix me up with - cute guy I liked but I had a boyfriend at the time. Long story short she ended up marrying the roommate years later and they've been together for over 30 years with one son. Just one friend.

I've always been attracted to persosn who dont' fit societal norms. I think it is because i was raised so conservative, which was really agains tmy internal nature, that I sought out unusual persons because they were different and interesting.

MOST of what friends I had as a kid were unorthodox. Seemed like I was drawn to them, as I felt they had things to say that no one else wanted to listen too, because they were taken at face value and judged to be unworthy. I alway lived by something I read somewhere, that everyone is a book, with a story waiting to be read.

I have said it already in earlier posting of mine and I will say it again, there's nothing like Thailand !!! What a great story, thanks a lot for sharing !!
ขอขอบคุณ !!!

What a wonderful experience! I have had a few experience similar and they surely added much to my life. But, your's was the best!

My best friend of all of them was definitely unorthodox. He ran a successful mail order business. He was a member of American Atheists, and was instrumental in a church state separation case.

He was also a Nazi. He worshipped Hitler, and collected figurines of him.

He helped me out a lot, both with my own mail order business, as ell as some of the books I did. We'd talk for hours over the phone. Hitler came up as a subject only rarely. Since my father fought in WW2, I had an interest in that era, but purely for historical reasons.

I sometimes wonder how hos rational side and his Nazism managed to exist together. He had some troubles with his wife over it, but that's all.

He died a few years ago. I still miss him, flaws and all.
