"MORELS taste good in omelettes..."
Nabbed from 
ecmajor, who is probably weirder than me. *huggles him* Weird is good!
First, pick something(s) from each of the categories that you like/love that most people dislike/hate:
A food - tofu. I actually like it and find it does have a flavour of it's own... Though it's a bit bland for my hubby, so I do things to it to jazz it up. I particularly like it lightly fried in a plain sauce with veggies.
A drink - Lapsang Souchong tea- you either like it or hate it. It's got a VERY strong flavour- "like drinking a campfire" someone once said. It's black tea smoked over a pine fire.
A hobby - I used to LARP, but since I've moved, I don't get to do it very often. I like it for the crazy stories we make, the chance at heroism, and the fun costumes.
A TV show - LEXX ...omg why did people hate such an awesome show?!!? :O :O <--- Gonna leave EC's comment here- that show was NEAT.
A movie - stuff like "Repo Man" (from the early '80s)- it's a cult film, nowadays.
A band/artist - Combichrist or Cradle of Filth. I'm pretty sure those guys scare the crap out of most parents. *evil little girl giggle*
A genre of music - Real Industrial <--- what he said: with the addition of THROBBING GRISTLE <-- one of the pioneers. But, I do like some rap: Sheaffer the Dark Lord, Attilla the Stockbroker, guys like that- they're in the novelty/humour genre.
A video game - I don't play them- the fact that I suck at the newer console games isn't a factor. Nope. Really. Heh. I'm a joystick girl. Got a game that uses that input device, and I'm on it. Um, that looks bad, doesn't it...
A sport - Oddly enough, I can tolerate watching some sports, just not many, but the sports I like are, well... odd. Iron Man/Woman, Sumo, gymnastics...
A fetish - At the risk of Furry hate I'll have to say fursuits. I love 'em. Even the ones with "strategically placed holes". >^__^< No, I won't get all stupid around folks wearing them-I treat it like any other costume- I'm a polite critter. But, if someone wanted to snuggle with me while in suit... *gleee*
Next, pick something from each category that you dislike/hate that most people like/love:
A food - Oh, man, that's a HARD one- I like so many foods (as is evidenced by my cuddly waistline), and I think all of them are things a lot of other people like in addition to the ones I like that they hate...
A drink - Beer. WTF is with people and their love for beer? There are a few that I like, but they are always microbrewery stuff- made RIGHT. The common, everyday swill most people call "beer" is fuggin AWFUL.
A hobby - scrapbooking- that has got to be the most pointless waste of time and materials... I'd never call that nonsense "crafting", but it's ridiculously popular.
A TV show - Pretty much anything that's on tv these days <--- keeping EC's comment, here, with the addition of drek like Reno 911 or Trailer Park Boys. Ugh. Or stuff like Tyra Banks and Jerry Springer. Oprah- gods, get her off the frakkin' toob! That woman is a financial cancer, who really wants to take over the world, I swear! *giggle*
A movie -"chick flicks"- I do not understand their popularity, and I never will. I'm a "chick" by the way. Romantic "dramadies" hit the same notes- good for popcorn and laughing at it with your pals, but that's it. Give me an historical costume drama any day. Even Micheal Bay movies are more fun.
A band/artist - Coolio, Snoop Dogg, all of those gangsta rap goofs. But I'm keeping will Smith and Ice-T- those guys kick ass. :D
A genre of music - gospel, "soul", or R&B is guaranteed to either chase me from a room or put me to sleep.
A video game - Most of them just don't interest me. <-- keeping EC's Comment. I actually enjoy watching my husband play them though, on occasion.
A sport - football, baseball or basketball- how lazy of a society are we that this is one of our major entertainments? We pay these athletes serious cheddar to play a GAME, while we lazy-asses pay for the privilege of WATCHING. What ever happened to going out with yer buds and playing the frakking game yourselves?
A fetish - scat. 'nuff said. Don't get it, don't wanna try it. EVER. EDIT: Ok, this is not something "most people" would like... I'm not sure if there's anything "most people" like that I'd hate, except maybe giving blowjobs. Blecch.
Next, just some all around weirdness:
Weirdest hair style I've had - I shaved off everything, including my eyebrows, and left a little top-knot on the crown of my dome with dreads coming out of it. Green and purple dreads.
Weirdest collection I have/had - dictionaries. Just got another cool one this week: a dictionary of geology terms. Woot!
Weirdest online friend - Hmmm, hard to say- I don't really consider any of them "weird"...
Weirdest RL friend - I hung with a girl who saw demons and skeletons in the shadows a lot and she kept one of the biggest menageries of critters I knew of anyone keeping at the time. She was pretty cool.
Weirdest piercing/tattoo - Well, none of my piercings are all that "weird", though some might make a person squirm: clitoral hood. Have one of those. I also have only one tattoo- it's in my ear.
Weirdest thing I've done - Walked through the halls of a convention wearing only a Dr. Who scarf wrapped around me for "modesty". I have pix. I was CUTE. Don't dare me to do stuff, I might just see about doing it.
Weirdest way I've hurt myself - oh gee... I've hurt myself in so many ways... But none of them are really all that strange- just mostly my own inattention and clutziness. Oh, wait, this one was amusing: I was rolling over in bed one night, and I guess it must have been more vigorous than usual- a wrought-iron candelabra I had on the headboard fell off and cracked me a good one across the chops. Almost went through my lip with the spikes on it that are used to secure the candles. If it had gone all the way through, I would have just stuck a post in there, 'cuz it was in a pretty cool spot.
Weirdest fact about you - Apparently, I was the well-loved "Village Idiot" of Fandom (sf fandom). I'm still not sure if I should be offended... I mean, they love me, but they also think I'm an idiot... Argh.
*chuckles*
I've been feeling healthier this last few days, so I'm pretty sure it's safe to handle fabrics and stuffs. Been cleaning out me work-room, and doing a little sewing for myself and Kani.
's tail will be finished by the end of next week, and I'll have started on 
's Big Green.
Commisions finished or nearly finished:
sillydraco (A.K.A 
dracodragon5 )- finished his prize for the Caption Contest, and he loves it! Yay!
graeth - his prize is halfway finished- working on it in between sewing.
dain_unicorn- he now has his prize and is quite happy with the cute icon I made for him. Yay!
So, the Caption Contest is nearly all done with. I'm so sorry that I took so long to finish these guys!
One trade with
astralabortion done and people have already had fun drooling over it. *giggles*
Commissions in the queue:
kilroy eight-foot plushie- starting it next week. My apologies on all the delays, hon!
dragonicknight one set of gryphon ears- shipping this Monday or Tuesday.
sedrinthestar one tail- I'll finish it this week alongside the work I'm doing for the plushie. >^___^<
kalemendrax one tail- still gotta make a shopping trip for the fur. Not started, yet.
thorphax one four foot plushie of a pretty red, stripey dragon! Lots of detail on this one, so it's going to be a challenge! I'll start on the concept-sketch after I've started on Big Green.
Cheers for now!

I know you have a mate and you wouldn't 'cheat' on him, even if I will be all cuddly and cute. :3
