Stereotypicality

In the culture we’re in, there are very definite stereo social norms (too much comms is bad for you). A lot of things are just expected from us, like boys have short hair, and girls having long hair, unless they are a, ah-hum, oh never mind. Anyway, point is, everyone tends to fit to a certain mould. There are then little facts that set each of us apart from the norm. These makes us interesting, and unique.

Let’s start with the norm, the stereotype.
Btw these aren’t bases on real people. So don’t cry.

His name is Will. Or James, something along those lines. He goes to school, drifts through lessons, but does his homework. He got a couple of As and mostly Bs at GCSE (I’m a grammar boy, my standards are high), and 2 Cs in chemistry and Drama. On the week days he plays Call of Duty and plays football on saturday mornings. Probably at left back. He isn’t really very good, but he’s been going since he was 9, so he gets the occasional game out of pity. He has scored 3 own goals this season. He’s not very interesting at all, and frankly he couldn’t hold a conversation if it had handles (some of the jokes are purely for my benefit).

Her name is Sophie. Or Hannah. She enjoys school, especially being around her circle of friends. She doesn’t know that all her ‘friends’ hate her and hang around with her through pity. She does have issue with her weight. She thinks she’s fat, and she is a little bit, but not as fat as she thinks she is. She has had two boyfriends. The first was called Dan, and he was 3 years older than her. She dumped him when she realised that he was only with her for her size 34C boobs, he didn’t even know her surname. The other was Josh, a shy boy her age who’d asked her out in an hilarious mix up, and hadn’t had the heart to tell her that he didn’t really want to go out with her in their entire 5 month relationship. They never even held hands.

Ok, so I have kinda gone to town on the old stereotypes, but you get the point. Here are my facts which make me, me.

• I have more musical instruments than I do fingers (this is a comment on my abnormal number of instruments, rather than my abnormal number of fingers)
• I have played guitar since I was 4, over 75% of my life. That figure will only rise
• I have my own blog. Obviously, but do you?
• I have very little sense of embarrassment. This is coming from someone who thought vlogs were a good idea. And plans to do more.
• I dropped maths, the only subject I was actually good at, for A level. This isn’t really an interesting fact, it’s just a stupid decision.
• None of my family have ever heard me swear. It went from being scared of them hearing me, to it just being a point of interest as to how long I could keep it up. They swear at me all the time. My dad calls me some very horrible things.
