8. Become Absurdly Interested in Something Others Would Not Be!
The sillier the better! Things people used for make-up back when opium was legal. What it is ants have against termites? Spending a whole year making novelty Guy Fawkes mannequins to sell for 5th November. Or maybe a collection? Collect watches, vintage books, photographs of rudely shaped vegetables found in the East Sussex area. Whatever your strange interest may be just make sure that its YOURS! The reason this is stupid is more of a social convention than anything but it will make you definitive and interesting. Theres something wonderful about people who have an interest in something for reasons that are completely beyond others reasoning. Tom Hanks collects typewriters, not just because hes rich and therefore the term crazy will always be replaced with eccentric whenever his passions mentioned. He does it because he likes it and theres really no more necessity than that. If history tells us anything, its that life is cyclical. Therell be another recession in a few years/decades time. Absurd fashion disasters from the past will be back in at some point in the future (still waiting on the Cloak to make a comeback). And those aspects of life that were once on the fringes of society comic books and video games to be topical will inevitably come full circle and gain the credit they deserve. Just do one thing for all of us, when it happens, dont bitch because its become mainstream thats a sure-fire way of retaining lifelong virginity.
