Determine if you are a misfit with 5 proven factors

This your first time at Altnoise.net?

It might seem a little confusing and odd at first, but we are just a simple community of misfits searching for something larger than ourselves.

Feel free to check out the article below, browse through our various menus or contact Stephen Miracle.

I know its hard. It was hard for me. But just admit it. You are one. I was in denial for many years, but I since have came to the conclusion that I am a misfit. Really, its not shameful. Its actually enlightening and comforting to know that I don’t have to play by the rules of the world anymore. Its exciting as I am able to pioneer a new world everyday and find new ways to be socially.. different. You interested now? Want to be one now? Well here are a few top 5 factors to help us in the misfit community determine whether you truly are a misfit - Not listed in any specific order.

5. Everyone is thinking “Outside The Box” when you are finding the materials to create the new one.
4. You pick up a gossip magazine hoping to find the latest whereabouts of Myspace’s Tom.
3. You walk into a room and everyone rushes to talk to the guy who came in behind you.
2. You’re cellphone is pre-2006.
1. The boss asks for a finished timeline and you hand him a 5 page single spaced paper titled Timelines: Your Productivity Killer

If you answered yes to any of these then you on your way to joining the misfit club. Leave your name, email, number, your salary, and the $2,000 non-refundable, monthly recurring registration fee. We will slowly get back with you.

Seriously though, this was just a fun little group writing project that I wrote for Problogger. The theme was a top five and I chose to write about being a misfit. One reason that it is creative and might attract readers. The other reason is that my friend John O’Keefe fellow Ginkworld creator and I are working on a new Misfit faith community for people whom don’t really fit into the standard evangelical mode of church. Right now, we’ve started with a myspace and flickr group that I will link to later on my personal computer. Check back soon.

    5. Well, it’s official! I’m a misfit or maybe more fitting a maverick misfit! However my pre 2006 cell phone just died the other day, so I will be getting a new one. Does that bump me out? LOL.

      I know this group project was limited to 5 things, but I’m sure we could add another 100 to the misfit list. Thanks for the post and good luck.

    47. I answered no to the top four and maybe to the fifth (going by number). Really I already knew I was a misfit and trying to make a top five for being a misfit is sort of a paradox. If all misfits fit the mold of misfit they aren’t misfits at all just mearly in another group of people.
