Is it normal to act insane?

I have a reputation at my school for being weird. I don't care. I'm rather socially isolated anyway, so I don't seek other's approval.

One day, some guy was trying to irritate me by constantly pestering me with subjects he knew I either hated or didn't like to discuss. When the classic ignore-them-until-they-find-a-new-target approach didn't work, I slowly turned to him and then described to him exactly what I would do with his intestines after I sliced them out of his abdomen when he was alone in his house with no one to help him. He left me alone afterwards.

Evidently all he told people was that I was crazy, and in the following days people started getting nervous around me. Then, someone tried striking up a conversation when I was in a particularly bad mood. I turned to him and spoke a string of Latin in a dark tone. He left.

Turns out, I find it funny when people are frightened of me. I'm pretty intimidating, six foot two, usually wearing black (not goth or emo, just like the look of it) and not really chatty. I don't go out of my way to freak people out, just when the opportunity presents itself.

TL:DR: is it normal to act crazy?

    I kind of done the same except it was when he went to the bathroom and I held him against the wall with a knife to his throat I explained to him how it wouldnt look like its taking long to the viewers eye but the person whos throat is cut feels like its taking for ever and that no one would be able to help him in time then I went on to say how I can easily get in and out of a house without someone noticing. Then I said that he could tell his friends I done this to him but that would just irritate me. The remaining time of the school year he kept going the opposite way from me. I can only assume he didnt tell anyone due to the fact no one talked to me about it. People like that need to be put in their place and told that we arent there to be their entertainment.

    Well, insanity would not be considered normal, (although, I would argue the point in todays society) but because it is an act, I would say it is normal for young teenagers (assuming that when you say school, you do not mean university or college).

    I did this all of the time but I found that I actually wasn't playing, they just pissed me off. Damned brats. Well anyway, doing that will only make them pay attention to you more which will increase your chances of becoming a target. Behave as boringly and as "average" as possible then they will leave you alone. Say answers that are common rather than creative and don't worry about impressing. The key is to lay low. Or you can just beat the shit out of someone to make a point :)

      2nd option. Don't listen. Do NOT give up your creativity. Those trolls bug me, too.

    Ah, yes people tend to leave you alone if you cultivate that persona. Nice if you like being left alone. No-one messes with the psycho kid. I once threatened to kidnap someone in the middle of the night, tie them up and throw them off a cliff. Fun times.

    ... remarkably perceptive to notice an accidental push of the "enter" key.

    Wow.

    I found that a glare and a dark tone gets the message through, and peole make their own assumptions. I never actually assaulted anyone.

    Also, it's high school.
