I've always felt that it's very important to embrace our differences. Whether it be an odd hobby or a love for retro fashion, it's our uniqueness that helps to create a very special world.
For example, in the second photo of this post I attempted to be cheeky/sassy, but I just came of looking a tad bit eccentric, not to mention my abnormally bent backward thumb! But I decided it might not be the worst idea to share it anyway, since I'm well known by my friends and family for being very silly, and doing completely random things. And since I think of you all as my buddies, I thought it was about time you saw my crazier side!
So now it's your turn! What makes you unique, silly, quirky?... What makes you, Y-O-U?
