Considering the company we keep, my husband and I have a pretty wide latitude for what we consider "weird." Actually, we consider weirdness the people who perpetuate the appearance that they have perfect lives (i.e., drive a nice car, have a beautiful home), but in reality they are utterly miserable working 60+ hours a week at jobs they hate, their relationship isn't even civilized, someone is cheating on someone else, someone is on antidepressants, the other person has a substance abuse problem, the kids are flunking out of school and in therapy or juvenile detention.

Whose weirder, the person who is happily living like a slob, or the miserable person living in a beautiful home?

I'm the happy slob example.

not as slobby as the person he described, but my standards for my house and car neatness went WAY DOWN when I had the baby. I'm embarassed by it.

Well because when you live here in your freaking graceland and the local cult acts all high and mighty and are so strong in numbers, they tend to act like they're morally above anyone not of the same beliefs. Makes it seem that much more surprising when you see a guy blowing out rails on his countertop when his garments are showing.

There IS a smug attitude around here and I f-ing hate it.

It works both ways. There are super smug religious types that ruin it for a lot of people. Then you have the other side of the coin that's just as bad trying not to be like thwe local jebus flavor.

Hang around with young people that make a lot of money or with people that have hard drug habits.
