whether it be sipping tea with my pinky up high, or chugging a beer with some of my redneck friends to screeching high pitched voice when a hot dude walks past me. I have on occasion done drag and really let my hair down at Disney Wolrd! To me, all this is normal. What is not normal IMHO is people trying to tell me what is normal.

P.S.S. I believe in the Army slogan "Be all that you can be!"
