Too weird for the common app?

So it turns out that most of the schools that I’m applying to really like the common app. That’s fine and dandy, but it puts me in a weird position. I’m kind of a quirky person and wanted an essay that would reflect that. I came up with what I think is a great idea for a common app essay (topic of your choice option), but people told me that it’s too “weird” to be used for the common app. Is it not worth it to write a quirky essay for the common application?
