Philosophy is fun, soo...
Normal.
Have you ever considered how odd that word is? Because there is no one who is truly normal. Everyone has their quirks, their odd things that they do. And you can't just say "normal people", because you can't just lump people into a group. It's just... people are people, and they're all normal, and they're all weird. Like Shallan says, "We're all strangely normal. Or normally strange." Or something like that. And what Tindwyl says to Elend about Vin:
Quote“Vin isn't…like other women."
Tindwyl raised an eyebrow, her voice softening slightly.
"I think that the more women you come to know, Your Majesty, the more you'll find that statement applies to all of them.”Think about it. Do you know anyone who you would define as "normal"? If so, then they must be boring. And no one is truly weird, because everyone is weird. Like Syndrome from The Incredibles says,
"And where everyone's [weird], nobody's [weird]."
Sorry, I just philosophized all over you. You might need to wash your shirt now.

This first-draft excerpt from Stormlight Five is just about the best thing I've ever read:

If I met Kaladin I would:
Slap him and say, "It wasn't your fault, you idiot!"
Then hug him and say, "It wasn't your fault, you idiot."
