What are your 'wierd' or 'unusual' interests? I'll go first.

i have an interest in secant regressions.
i like to define the cyclic seed generators for my fractals with ideas i thought about during the day.
i am very interested in MATS or moving average totals based upon correlation coefficients that i spend all day thinking about.
i try to form a seed that a design may come from that can unfold in a luciferious way in my own subjective experience.

whatever. no one knows and no one cares, but my mind is mostly absorbed by producing patterns that i want to see and not only imagine.

i do not want to talk about it any more because i do not want the world stomping on my head for answers to their questions

i looked it up and i cant find a name for my type of OCD so im hereby proclaiming that i coined the term Subconsciously Selective OCD its similar to selective hearing except you dont control it your mind does whether you want it too or not, and im certain ive got it in some way cuz my Aspergers but idk yet its just one of those things i need to do like if i see floral shears and wire cutters and rulers on my desk in Floral Design i have to organize them until it stops annoying me anyone heard of asnything like that? in my research of it ive heard it mentioned but NEVEr named so i thought i should

That's one of my interests. Others are feminism (especially the kind dating back to the 18th Century and Romantic period), religion, psychology, the MBTI, Nintendo trivia, anime, and manga.

I love to puppeteer, when I hear a song on the radio I envision how I could choreograph it for puppets. When I listen to a stand up comedian I look for one liners that I can work into puppet skits. I keep an eye open for things that I can use for puppet props. I enjoy watching "Professional Puppetry", and of course trying to emulate what I see with my puppet. My goal is to one day be as skilled as one of Jim Hensons Puppeteers. I currently teach basic puppetry in my local puppet group. Luckily for me I have members of my family who also are involved in puppetry, and they are used to my tendency to chatter in excess about my interest.

I have this huge love for Orchestral Sountracks, mostly from games and films

lol, Listening to Escaflowne CD right now...

My main interests at the moment are maps/geography, travelling, and music. Others include cars, license plates, drama/movies, things that have the potential to destroy the world's environment, the future, and astronomy.

I'm a brain person. I've always been fascinated by the brain and it's potential. Currently I'm double majoring in university in Neurological Sciences (concentrating on behavioural neurosciences) and Biochemistry. Also, I'm going through an obsession over the 1940s and 50's women's fashion.

My unusual interests throughout my life were laundry detergent, checkbooks, & bytes

I was obsessed with Greenland after I saw it on the world map in 3rd grade and wondered why it wasn't a continent. I asked my mother multiple times to visit without realizing how unrealistic it was.
In high school, I would see Tetris in my head often while I was attempting to sleep.
In recent years, I have spent hours upon hours reading about pro wrestling, but I refuse to watch the #1 promotion because it stinks.

Trainspotting...

I've posted over 75,000 photos and 2,000 videos of trains to the internet that I've taken. I've chased trains in Canada, the US, England, Scotland, Wales, and Kenya to date and when I travel anywhere it is governed by where trains are and how to see them.

I for one have a love of high energy particle physics, philosophy, geopolitics, the nature of meta-physics and Jungian psychology.

Yes, maps! I love staring at them and thinking of what they represent and tell you.
Especially when you can see the remains of an old fort in the elevation lines.

I like driving my vehicles, because of the motion, but also because of the connection I tend to build with them. When I drive, me and my car are together on some sort of adventure, it feels like that. I maintain and service them myself.

I like animals also, not for the transportation aspect (although I do have a horse), but for their honesty and companionship.

Reading can get me in high-energy states when I feel I really grasp the thoughts of the writer.
This happens usually with philosophically inclined books.

An unusual interest is my collection of those small kitchen knifes you use for potatoes. Their colours are mesmerizing to me. To prevent suspicion I only keep the top ranked ones, feeling somewhat bad for the discarded ones.

Menstrual health - seriously.

I can tell you almost anything about tampon manufacturing and regulation, environmental implications of manufacturing and waste of disposable sanpro, everything about all different menstrual cup brands, social and political factors relating to menstruation, the latest fabric patterns of Lunapads, the composition of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin, history of all current menstrual options, what shops sell what products and to some degree why they sell what they sell, the Brunnell flushability test and safety testing, I can track the OB shortage story round the globe, and I have cramp cures coming out the wazoo...heh.

I can't remember my birthday half the time, but I remember the strangest things about tampons.

Did you know that in French the word "tampon" means one of those self-inking stamps that is commonly used to stamp a name and address on to letters etc? Another useless fact to add to your collection!
