There is no such thing as "normal." If there were, all the "normal" people, aka the larger group, would go around doing the exact same thing, while the "weird" people would do something else. No, there is no normal, since everyone is different in their own way. In that respect, I say that all the Muses are "normal" Muses, but none of them are truly "normal."

Ok, so what is normal? Webster's Dictionary defines it as "of, relating to, or characterized by average intelligence or development." By that token many people would be normal. But normal is not 'average', not literally anyway. The word "normal" carries with it the connotation of being without serious problems, e.g. if your doctor was to say to you, "Don't worry, you're normal," you'd probably be happy. But if your friend said to you, "You know, you and your family are really average," you'd probably be more offended than happy!

Our ideas of nomalness are mostly based on our society. (Then what tells our society what's normal? You ask. The media's at least part of it, I reply.) If someone walked into your school with so many brass rings around their neck that their neck appeared to be twice as long as normal (there's that word again!), you'd probably think it very strange, but among the Padung women of northern Thailand, this is completely normal.

Just as society changes, so does normalness. Things that aren't considered un-normal today would have been radical and revolting (and possibly cause for a free one-way ticket to the insane asylum) to people a hundred years ago. Does that mean that our country was less free or used less of its freedoms of thought and speech back then? No, not necessarily, just that our perception of normalness has changed (A LOT). However, society alone doesn't completely control our ideas of normalness. For instance, while this is probably not common for the rest of the country, it's pretty normal for me to walk around the house in full Renaissance garb, much more normal than it would be for me to wear Hollister or Abercrombie or Aeropostale or whatever it is they're wearing nowadays. ;-) Also, when I send text messages I actually write in English instead of garbled txt msg tlk (wich isnt rly a lngug @ all! pls! it drvs me NUTS!!)

Anyway, enough ranting. Muse, you are incredibly awesome and extremely un-normal. Which is a very good thing. (Did I just contradict myself?) I would have to say, my guess is that the average (AAGGHH) Muse reader is probably not normal (ARRRRGGH) in the standards of today's schoolkids (on the whole), because they care enough about Vitamin D or talking parrots or parasites or the Mona Lisa or undercooked eggs or slime eels or Elizabethan castles enough to spend their time reading about them. (I'm ranting again!) Mimi, you are DEFINITELY the normal-est Muse. Have a normal day (in which many weird and wonderful things happen), everyone!

There is no actual definition of what's normal, well there is but no one on this planet classifies as "normal" the only planet with normal people is a planet called "Camazotz" but this is a different normal everyone on Camzotz is under the direct mind control of IT and they do everything exactly on beat with the rhythmic functioning of IT.

i think that the most "normal" muse (if there can be such a thing) is Urania. This might sound odd, not to mention that she is thousands of years old!!! i think this because she does not look (very) weird. apart from her clothes, knowledge of pi and her stargazing she is normal(ish)

When you hear the word normal, most people think of the people who are well, let's put it this way, normal. There is no real form of normalness(is that a word?) because everyone has their own sense of what normal means. To me normal means like everyone else. You could also say unindividual, or a follower. So those who take all their ideas from others creations, and use them, while letting other people use them, are normal. You get it? The word normal could also mean to be yourself, because if you act like your normal self, then you are acting normal. But if you act differently from your normal self, then you are acting unormal(does unormal have two n's?). Kind of complicated, right? So I guess an easy way to put the definition of normal is to say, Everyone is normal the same way everyone is different. By the way, all the Muse characters are normal because they are all differnent from each other.

P.S. Bo is still the best. Go FACTS!!!

I am a naturalist at violin. But a lot of people say I'm the probably the best out all of the violins they have heard. No one is actually normal! Not even me. I'm going to be in the federation next month.I feel presure on me already. I'm not sure which one of you is the most normalest, but I have a suggestion, WHO IS THE MOST BORINGEST? That is my suggestion and I think that NONE of you are normal OR boring!

no one on this EARTH is normal. espeacially me. :) but seriously, if someone is normal, they are boring. no one at all likes them, because they are what everyone expects people to be, but not what they want someone to be as a friend. there are people that are average, but they still have their quirks. i, for example, flip out whenever i see an olive. yes. olives are disgusting. anyway, bo gets my vote, even though she is a cow. she is awesome. but she is still not normal. :( oh well.

oh and plus, who on this earth would want to live on Camazot? it would suck having to do everything the same. i would be the kid that loses his ball. :) mostly because i can't do any sport besides swimming but oh well................................  :)

I think kokopelli is the most normal, because who doesn't think throwing pies is funny. Or pranks for that matter. Though, maybe I'm just a lot like kokopelli, so identify more with him.

P.S. Hey, Kokopelli, when's your and Urania's wedding? Hehehehehehe.

I definately am the "weird one" in my group of friends! I mean funny weird, not weird weird. I am with Monica! She's one of the funny ones. The resident of Kokonino County that gets my vote for Most Normal is...... sorry Kokopelli........ Urania! Since no one is perfect, no one is normal. As Nathan says, "Perfect is horrible." No one is perfect! It's merely impossible. So no one is normal. So.... on a different scale..... "Vote For Urania!" My sister's vote would be Kokopelli. (Don't know why.)

What exactly do you define normal as? I mean, like the word perfect, normal has different meanings depending on who you talk to. Oh ya, and about the wrinkle in time debate thing (is that what it is?) You know when the get back home and land in the lettuce, wouldn't they see themselves, sitting on the wall? (If you don't get this, read the book "When you reach me" Good book. Kinda confusing, but good)

If everyone were normal the WORLD WOULD COLLAPSE FROM BORINGNESS!!!

My favorite pasttime is to go up to random people and say random stuff, it's priceless! Someone actually called me "messed up" and it was the best day of my life!! (not really but it WAS funny)

I don't believe that normality exists, because it is different for every person. If you took a survey to find out what kind of person most people thought of as normal, and then searched for someone who fit everyone's description, chances are, you wouldn't find anyone. Even if you did, there would be so few people that anyone you find would be so normal, it's actually weird—otherwise known as unnormal. So they wouldn't be normal at all. If you took the next-normal person, they would become the new most normal person ever. So, they, too, would be unnormally normal.  And the same goes for everyone else in the universe, too.

Even the people on Camazotz aren't normal. Since no one else is as normal as they are, they would not be normal at all.

Does that make sense?

Normal is uninduviduality. It is going along with whatever the marjority says. In that respect I am most definitely NOT NORMAL. In every way possible I am a geek and a freak. Shy of the most un-terrifying things, totally outgoing about things that would make most people scream and run. Devoted to my school work, but athletic to the point of 10.5 hours of dance a week, and when I'm not dancing that's what I'm thinking of. And then just plain random, and proud of it. I am both the weirdest and least weird in my "posse." My friends are all the crazy, goofy, smart kids in the grade, total bookworms and weirdos. I am the most so in my group. So I am the weirdest in the conventional sense. But, one girl is constantly trying to be cool (of course then she bites my arm and ruins any illusion of popularity she had) so she is the weirdest in my group's outlook on things. Ya. Confusing.

I don't think any of the muses are normal.

I am not normal. I wear a clothespin on my ear sometimes, and my friends call me Luna Lovegood.

what does the word normal mean? what's the definition? i mean, when u say "that's normal" what do u mean the answer to the question who's normal will change depending on what u're really asking.

All people are weird.  If just one person were completely normal, they would be weird because they were the only ones who lived like that.

Oh, and Koko is the most normal in my veiw.

I don't think that any of the Muses are normal,but I think that Chad is the weirdest of the weirdest,meaning the most normal.

It is sooooooooooooo hard to do this blog because I saw a whole section on people talking about A Wrinkle In Time and I couldn't reply to it! Has anybody seen the new Harry Potter movie? I prefer to read the books myself, but they CHANGED IT SO MUCH! Anyways, back on track, I know someone whose nickname is monk!

hi i am desgrafic, no its not contages and it is most sertenitly not my name. it is somthing that many peaple are dignosed with young or old, youre born with it, and it travels in the DNA. it is a lerning disability, not two sereus thogh. it makes it hard to picture things in the mind, spell, follow derections, read, and a few other things like i hand cordination. its twin is dislecseo, its basickly the same. this isn't a desese and it's farly comin, and the best thing is you can get over it. it just makes it so you have to wurk a lot harder. and oh, did i mention hand righting, near imposiblely illegable. i used to spell cow C-A-W becase thats how i fenedickly chuncked it. there are some spetule scools set up ( mostly privit) which foces on these disibityis. unforchinitly there is no cure exept a magick pill we call persestence, tack twise dally.

serusly, theres no "normel" only avrage. like lets say, the megorety of the us population ties there left shoe first but the other present ties the right first. are they not normel, No of corce not but what if its on a large scale with rusha smaler present doing it difrently? for example 97 persent of the world brushes there teeth in cercls then in lines. would that by signifigent, would the 3 present that didn't be not normel, YES definitly becase there are so many peaple in the world. it becomes even more so if you replace teeth brushing with somthing more serus. it all depends on numbers and matruel, for some one to be soposedly normal or not normal. avra ge is all a matter of epinion two. but yess there is a destigwishable apinion of normal or not normal, yet nown suspifickly.

weird is the new normal. The majority is weird so normal is weirder than weird.

and now we are all confused

No one is normal PERIOD
