      @Knees beads & beading has been a love of mine since my oldest son had cancer at 11 & my kids and I made magnetic bead jewelry to sell to pay for things he needed. I started Daddy and Me Magnetics on Etsy and sold many pieces. Since my son went into remission and then my 10 other kids grew up I have probably millions of beads people donated to us still in storage here and there. Hoping my Grandkids will let me teach beading to them when they get older. 😊

      the weirdest one i’ve had was hermit crabs!! for like 4 years when i was a kid i was obsessed with hermit crabs. i had them as pets, wrote essays about them in class (even if the topic had nothing to do with hermit crabs i found a way to slide one in 💀) ppl thought it was weird but i didn’t care :)

      Maps of central Virginia (where I live). I like seeing which towns aren't incorporated, the boarders of each zip code, shopping centers in the most rural places, different highway routes to get to the same destination, etc. I also am extremely interested in tornadoes, but less so the sirens and EAS. However, I saw a cool video on youtube recently of a fake EAS situation, demonstrating an F6 tornado (far more powerful than any tornado ever on earth)

        @Xovil also i'll mention another slightly obscure one, I enjoy researching supplements (and medications) and their effects on mental health, and trying different proven-safe supplement combinations to see if it makes me feel better. The combo I take twice a day now includes many different supplements which I take twice a day, and I feel much better than before I started them.

      Anything involving crime and killers, both real and fictional. Name any famous (real or non-real) serial killer and I can list their backstory and childhood and random facts about them! Gets me some very strange looks whenever I bring it up lol, I know true crime is a pretty common interest, but the extent of knowledge about it I have is a little concerning to most people lmao. Other than that I've been obsessed with so many obscure things over the years that I'm just a walking encyclopedia of strange and random facts :D

      I've ALWAYS been obsessed with the weather! Along with Harry Potter, the Lord of the Rings, music, and writing! Not to mention, I've almost always had a fascination with the paranormal (even though I consider myself a skeptic. I might have seena ghost once or twice in my house, but idk. It might have been a figment of my imagination). Not to mention, I've been obsessed with the Edwardian Era for a while....
