My girlies are now 26 and 28 years old. One loves llamas and one loves pigs. They used to collect them as children. Now that they have their own houses, I buy more “grown up” collectibles and when I visit them… I hide them, like Easter eggs, for them to discover after I’ve left. Most recently, I found cute ceramic llama and pig salt and pepper shakers. I hid them in their spice cabinets. ;-)

I spend time on the weekends having chats with homeless people. I take them food and other items and we sit and talk about childhoods, past employment, how crazy some people are.

A lot of them ask me to keep coming around, even if I don't have anything to give them. Most of the time they have no one to talk to that doesn't talk down to them or pretend to pity them. I prefer to joke around and make them laugh.

It's hard to stand on a street corner and beg for help when people scream at you, call you names and threaten you every day. It's hard to try to stay alive each day...not only by finding food and a place to sleep, but having to keep an eye out for drug addicts and mentally disturbed individuals that won't give a second thought about assaulting you or killing you.

Several of the homeless people I chat with have had multiple emergency room visits over the past couple of years from being stabbed, attacked by people or dogs, or just getting sick from sitting in the cold and rain. Treating them like human beings is sometimes just what a person needs to get through their day.

I don't know if this counts as weird, but I do origami (Japanese paper folding). I've been learning origami for 28 years now, and give them to people (i.e. waiters and waitresses, servers, etc ) as a small way to say thank you

I make my own Tabasco Sauce. I grow four plants a year, harvest the peppers, put them in a blender w/ white wine vinegar & sea salt, cook them, store them, strain them & bottle about 40 5oz. (150ml) bottles a year to give to family in friends. It's rather hot...hotter than habanero & much more flavorful. Many say it's their favorite. I get a lot more out of it than it seems.

I have collected a wall full of home-made ceramic pieces from thrift shops. All of them are from someone's strange imagination. From an Italian styled tea pot with lid, to a set of square espresso cups, to a small deformed horse, every one is a conversation piece. They are not like anything you would normally purchase and some are obviously made by grade school kids. I am curious about what price I could render for some of the more artsy pieces, but now that I have them displayed, I would never sell them.

Exploring old graveyards. The older, the better. I love the old gravestones and imagining who the people were, what their lives were like and how they died. I like thinking that all the souls in a graveyard are a community and interact with each other, no matter when they died or if they knew each other in life.

I haven't done this for awhile, but I used to obsessively collect pamphlets and brochures. Didn't matter what they were about-peanut butter recipes, how to prevent gout, visitor attractions in Charlestown, West Virginia, the advantages of nuclear energy-I grabbed them all. Something about the pamphlet format was very satisfying.

I buy the giant bags of starbursts and save the papers. I make teeny tiny origami out of them when I’m bored. That’s pretty weird, I think. I also secretly write dirty poetry in my head while watching movies with my husband. He loves horror, the grosser the better. The dirty poetry makes me all smiley and makes my “eyes light up” so he thinks I’m into it. He thinks I find humor in horror like he does. After 13 years of marriage, I can safely say this method works only until you have family movie night with the in laws and they pick one you’ve seen and wrote something especially dirty during and you’re instantly reminded. Hard to keep a straight face.

Okay so one of my hobbies is playing poggers, like the old game cause my mom gave me hers so yah, they are basically these cardboard circles with designs in them and the metal ones usually thick, and you’ll stack the cardboard in a tower and then throw the metal one onto the pile and some will flip over btw the stack is like the decal face down, so the one that flipped over and are now on the ground face up you get to keep but I don’t really play for keep so we just put it on the side. As well the one that didn’t flip over and have the decal showing are put back into the pile. So I think the game pogger is poggers

I love animal skulls. My friends think I'm strange for it, but I think there's a sort of quiet beauty in them, something peaceful I guess. I recently purchased a mink skull. It could have been cleaned better I think, there are some bits of stuff inside it still. I think I need to boil and whiten it? If anyone knows how I should clean it or what I need to do, I'd love some tips - I don't want to damage the bone too much if I can help it.

I pick up any broken bit of metal I find while walking. Rusty, twisted, fragmented, it doesn't matter. I have bins of unwanted metal in my studio. Wheel weights are a particular favourite, which I first discovered at a Sears Tire Centre when I was 8 years old. So far I have not actually used any of the pieces to make anything, but the day is coming.
Also I used to collect scabs from bug bites and scratches, but that was just a kid thing. I do have several plantars warts that I removed from my feet but not enough to call a collection. More of an assortment.
