Why I am Deviant

I didn't mean to make it sound like I was going to explain myself in apologetic terms. I am not. I am simply stating what it is about me that makes me deviant.

• Black Jew. Hello! (Hence the "But you don't look Jewish comments. What does that even mean?!)
• How many Jews (let alone Jewish women) do you know with 9 piercings? (Probably with more on the way.)
• Grammar Nazi (ironic, isn't it? Jewish grammar Nazi? Haha!)

On the girly side:

Spiny Spider arm band. 

• I love spiders, snakes, scorpions. I own a ball python named Lucian (though I sometimes call him Lucy Lu--no relation to the actress, Lucy Lui, though I love her). 
• I adore Sphynx cats and hope to have one someday. (I am uninterested in owning any pet with hair/fur.)
• I don't like puppies--though I like old dogs if they don't bark.
• I am not a chocolate lover. Although, I do occasionally enjoy white chocolate.

I also don't fit many of the Black/African American stereotypes...

• No pork whatever. (Jewish, remember? I do, however, devour chicken when I get the chance--unless it's KFC; they're nasty!)
• Apparently Blacks like watermelon? A white family told me that when I turned down their offer of the dripping fruit. Haha! No, thanks!
• My white Imah (mother) enjoys Black music more than I. I prefer techno, pop, hip hop, and opera.

Of course, everyone has some stereotype placed upon them that doesn't fit. That's what I find so marvelously delightful. We are all, in some way or another, deviant!
