“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness and call it love.” - Dr. Seuss

We’ve all got an obscure hobby or too that consumes us; some might even call it weird.
