2. Have a uniform or a standard outfit that you wear every single day.
3. Be deadpan.
4. Dance awkwardly.
5. Only ever engage in complicated love affairs.

8. Soundtrack your life with 60s pop and/or classical music.

13. Be eccentric.

15. Befriend Bill Murray.
16. Dabble with suicide.
17. Say goodbye to mp3s – your record player is your new best friend.

19. Be childish – run away, build forts, live in treehouses.
20. Make lists. Read them out loud.
