When ppl have called me "weird" through the years and I would
  say, "Nuh uh, I AM AN _INDIVIDUAL!_" as they shook their heads,
  I've concluded that there's merit to their perspective of
  'norms' vs ' weirdos'.
  I mean, someone who observes or imagines a significance of the
  use of "Let me" in popular culture as an indication that there's
  still some civility and politeness when all appearances seem to
  point otherwise, could make me a genius, an individual, a
  creative thinker, a weirdo or simply wrong [or even
  "not-even-wrong"] and I acknowledge that they're all perfectly
  valid, along with other concepts I never considered.

  With excess individuality, communication can become difficult or
  impossible, so one needs _some_ mediocrity to ensure
  communication, or at least an ability to analogize somewhat, in
  order to tie together different worldviews.

  So back to the OP, by _nature_ I agree with the OP, but via
  EXPERIENCE, beating-to-my-own-drummer (that's what the adults
  around me said when I was in grade school) _may_ have given me
  "greatness of character"...

  ...but to many, that simply means I am a great CARTOON
  character. And.. I'm oddly ok with that.

  Perhaps though, in the end, I'm simply yet another mediocre
  Contrarian.
