If you look up the word normal in the dictionary the definition should be something along the lines of this "1: regular standard natural2: of average intelligence also sound in mind and body
2normal n 1: one that is normal 2: the usual condition, level, or quantity." But what is that telling us….. it is telling us that normal is boring and must be stopped. That is why I Ellie Martin swear to never be normal and to never do anything normal even if I wanted to be it would be impossible since the day I met the sohmas my hopes of being normal shatterd The reason I say things like what I just did is because its the only way I can feel good about myself.
I was always the girl everyone made fun of the girl who longed to fit in the day I moved to Japan was the day my life changed. It was a normal day in New Brunswick the weather was nice the only thing abnormal about was that today was the day I left for Japan. My plane arrived at noon and soon I was off , my parents wernt coming with me I was moving in with my brother I just had to get away and my parents agreed to let me start all over little did I know what awaited me in Japan...
I hopped off my plane trailing behind several tourists and most of them had no prior knowledge of this country I could tell infact most of them your your everyday American idoits and I mean no offence I'm simply stating that all of them where normal wich made my abnormal fashion sense and hair stand out more then I felt comfortable with. I gusse now would be as good a time as ever to describe myself thaugh theres really not much to my looks even thaugh I wear abnormal clothes and have an abnormal hairstyle my looks are average. I was born a redhead with exessively thick and frizzy hair that was impossible to deal with so I chopped it off its much shorter then even the average males and then I had the colour problem Eeven though my hair was an abnormal red it was still to normal for my standards so I had it dyed a bright and unatural red colour one that is very inhumane. I most always wear mens shirts and I dont think I have a skirt in my possesion I would be mistaken as a guy if it wernt for my height I'm only 5'2 and dont say" hey theres short guys" because even if I was just a short guy my voice would give me away. So with my very masculine looks the average (normal) Joe would think I was a dyke and you know what I say to? "Im as straight as a circle I go all the way around." This is the way abnormal me looks.
It did not take me long to spot my brother, Jack .(Then again it wouldnt take anyone long to spot that fruitcake) He was wearing a black V neck shirt over a pair of hot pink skinny jeans now may be an appropriat time to tell you that my brother is as gay as it getsinfact thats why he moved so far away. My parents are strict and old fashiond christains they tell me homosexuality is wrong (but I strongly disagree) so, when Jack came out they where mortified they even kicked him out eventually he dicided to get as far away as possible from them thats when he moved here. (he had been studying Japan for 4 years anyway.)I think part of the reason they let me move here was because I told them I was Bi..oooops.
My brother seemed to be happeir to see me then I was to see him wich is theway it usually works im my family , as happy as I am my brother is always way happier and as angry as my mom is papa is always angrier.I listend as my brother went on one of his rants about how much ive grown and a few things about his life something about an author friend & how his ex cheated on ranted for about thirty minutes before he decided to leave the airport and it was in the car that he told me we where to be living with some freinds of his Hatori Sohma he the time the name Sohma seemed so irrelevent what I didnt know was that it would be the Sohmas that would change my life forever.
