The Line
Let's start with the Line, shall we? The Line is the barrier between being a good Neighborhood Weirdo and taking it just too far. Whatever you do, DO NOT CROSS THE LINE!!! We cannot stress that enough. If you're not sure if something is taking it to far, ask us in the question section. We'd be glad to help!
Haters
We decided to define this term again (even though it's on another page as well) just to make sure we all have a clear idea of what a Hater is. Don't hate Haters! Like the name suggests, a Hater is someone who hates everything to do with weirdos. These people are perfectly justified to their opinion, though it is rather sad that they miss all the fun they could be having! With Haters the best thing you can do is be nice and polite, and inside feel pity for them. It's not their fault they're a Hater. Though they are often quite rude, that's just unfortunate. Above all, be polite!
It-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named
Or, for the sake of ease, you can say It. It is our nemesis. If someone is caught crossing the Line, they will often try to blame it on It. "It made me do it!" they would argue as the cop escorted them home. Unfortunately, that usually ends up with the police thinking they were insane. It haunts the group and causes things to go wrong. Like when you had the perfect scheme to make your neighborhood laugh and then your dog ate your project? It probably made him do it. Or when your mom makes you clean your room at the most inopportune moment? Chances are that It paid her a visit. As of right now, no reliable way has been found to combat It. We're afraid you're just going to have to be on the lookout.
How to categorize the reactions
One of the best parts of being a member of NW is the reactions that your neighbors give you! So we have created a quick and easy way to categorize the reactions that you get.
ANGRY FACE- If you get one, make sure that you didn't do anything to deserve it. This one is often used by Haters and is pretty much narrowing their eyes, glaring, and is often accompanied with the face turning bright red. Try to resist the urge to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all or you will have eye popping added to the list of symptoms.
PRUNE FACE This is a fun one. Often used by the Haters, though they can subsitute it with the angry face as well. The prune face is when they wrinkle their face in disgust and drive on, giving you a look that not even dead meat deserves. Ouch. We feel your pain on this one.
INDIFFERENCE- This one, in our opinion, is the worst. It's when they don't even look at you. Or sometimes they do, but then they go back to whatever it was they were doing without showing any emotion. What's the fun in that?
"OKAY, THAT'S WEIRD"- Better than the indifference, though we can't help but wish they would show a little more emotion. They usually slow down or stop to look at you, but there is still no real facial reaction. Lame, right?
"AH, THAT'S CUTE!"- Usually performed by parents. Though this beats both indifference and weird, it can get rather annoying. Smile and wave, and hope that next time they will have a more interesting reaction.
SMILE FACE- Now we're getting somewhere! The corners of their mouth turn up and their eyes sparkle. This is really the first one on the list of the good reactions.
LAUGHING FACE- Success! If they laugh, or even giggle a bit, you've done your job right!
"THIS IS GOING ONLINE!" -Picture time! If they snap a photo, congratulations! Look for yourself on Facebook or Youtube. This one is nice because you really feel like someone likes you.
The Founders
That would be us! Our names, though not real, are Cat, Flower, and Elf. We like to think of ourselves as a fun-loving group that is here to make the world a more fun place to live in.
