So I guess none of you are domestic terrorists or whatever. But it's like you're all queer, not-cis, and anxious and that's it.

I don't know... do you like juggle or something? Any of you controlled and manipulated time to get 3 days in every 24 hour period? Secretly e-famous? Only fight using kicks because you're saving your hands for cooking?

I did 90 Day Fiancé before it was a thing. I met my ex in 2011 and we talked online before I moved to her country and lived with her for a bit.

I might be the only person on earth whose paid jobs this year have included both "mover" and "audio commentary recording for the UK release of a seminal European arthouse film" so I guess I have that going for me weirdness-wise

[–] Sulvy@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago

I overshare if that counts!

@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net is obviously a weirdo, moreso than anyone else in here. Just wanted to clarify that.

I'm not good at swordfighting, but I love it. I've been struggling to find a non cult kung fu place that teaches weapon techs, so maybe I'll be better at it soon! I'm not bougie enough for fencing and HEMA is too scary to approach.

Don't know about weapon techs, but I have been to a Wing Chun place that I really liked. Maybe I would have learned more about self defence from something like Krav Maga, but I do feel much more confident in my ability to fight back if I need to now

[–] xj9@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I find krav maga to be kinda gross. Jujitsu + Muay Thai is the same foundations without getting into Israeli traditions.

There's a Wing Chun in my area that I'll probs fall back on if I can't find what I'm looking for.

over the last few years i’ve gotten legitimately good at guitar. it has made me less eager to throw hands for fear of fuckin up my money makers. so indeed i’d probably use my foots and toes more in a fight. not that injuring my legs would be much better (i cook with my lower limbs) but yeah

I am a member of the weirdo swarm (KGLW fan)

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago

I mean I'm not famous famous but there's a dog at work that's a big fan of me.

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 weeks ago

i'm clicker trained, does that count?

[–] NinaPasadena@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago

I rescue talking cats from pirates in outer space and I have a clone I trapped in wonky space.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

I got ionized. But I'm okay now.

I mean I can only piss outside, now, but otherwise I'm completely ok.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

I'm actually really boring, but people treat me like I'm a weirdo, because I tend to look scruffy and unkempt. Suburbia sucks.
