It's human to wonder if you are like other humans or alone in your experiences.
Everything you described sounds normal.
Here is what would be abnormal.
1) Illegally obtain an anaconda.
2) Tattoo intricate magical symbols all over it that represent, in a detailed fashion, various plot trajectories, themes, archetypes, character types, flaws, obstacles, settings, and random descriptions.
3) Repeat process with an alligator.
4) Fill a baby pool with sacred bull urine.
5) Place alligator and anaconda in the baby pool and wait for them to become locked in a deadly epic battle.
6) When one finally wins out, parse out the meaning of patterns in which injuries were sustained over the symbols.
7) Wait for the winner to poop out the remains of the loser.
8 ) Interpret the tone of the story from the nature of the excrement.
9) Kill the winning creature, stuff it, and implant a typewriter in its open jaws.
10) Drink laudanum and bull urine.
11) Pierce your lip with a sharpened crochet needle to heighten your senses and flood your brain with alertness.
12) Start writing.
Oh my gosh. This is awesome!

Hey, everybody!! Clogging contest on the Putputt!!! And the desert bar is open!
I don't have a lot of myself invested in being normal. I just want to be able to pass for normal when it's necessary or desirable, you know?
Normal, abnormal, meh, but incessant navel-gazing and seeking external validation for every stray thought is probably not terribly productive.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT SPESHUL?
I'm speshul. Very, very speshul.
Also completely normal.
Fribbligit. Purple.
I don't think there is a normal. Everyone is a snowflake in some way or another
Then I thought, I'm a writer, so am I normal? Let me see:
1) I sit at my computer, chewing my cheeks incessantly whilst staring at the blank screen.
And I suppose you plug it in before that.Wilde at heart: Well normally I switch it on first
And I suppose you plug it in before that.
Will someone tell me how I'm supposed to get a tattoo on this darn snake?
Well normally I switch it on first
I am espeshully normal, aquamarine.
