I might be the only person on earth whose paid jobs this year have included both "mover" and "audio commentary recording for the UK release of a seminal European arthouse film" so I guess I have that going for me weirdness-wise

oh uhhmmmmm, i have a pet snake, that's pretty cool right?
What's Snakey Jakey's name?
his name is pinkie (he is pink and i like my little pony)
i named him when i was like 12 okay
He sounds very cute.
I overshare if that counts!
I'm not good at swordfighting, but I love it. I've been struggling to find a non cult kung fu place that teaches weapon techs, so maybe I'll be better at it soon! I'm not bougie enough for fencing and HEMA is too scary to approach.
Don't know about weapon techs, but I have been to a Wing Chun place that I really liked. Maybe I would have learned more about self defence from something like Krav Maga, but I do feel much more confident in my ability to fight back if I need to now
I find krav maga to be kinda gross. Jujitsu + Muay Thai is the same foundations without getting into Israeli traditions.

There's a Wing Chun in my area that I'll probs fall back on if I can't find what I'm looking for.
@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net is obviously a weirdo, moreso than anyone else in here. Just wanted to clarify that.

over the last few years i’ve gotten legitimately good at guitar. it has made me less eager to throw hands for fear of fuckin up my money makers. so indeed i’d probably use my foots and toes more in a fight. not that injuring my legs would be much better (i cook with my lower limbs) but yeah
i only play songs off the cia torture playlist
Skinny Puppy fucking rules
I am a liberal if that counts
Unicycle
I mean I'm not famous famous but there's a dog at work that's a big fan of me.
I am a member of the weirdo swarm (KGLW fan)
I rescue talking cats from pirates in outer space and I have a clone I trapped in wonky space.
Nah
i'm clicker trained, does that count?
I'm actually really boring, but people treat me like I'm a weirdo, because I tend to look scruffy and unkempt. Suburbia sucks.
I got ionized. But I'm okay now.
I mean I can only piss outside, now, but otherwise I'm completely ok.
