Something eccentric about you

[Spiderman]

Is there anything about yourself that is eccentric you would like to share?

I don't think I can share anything that isn't old news on RF but here it goes, I make 97 dollars a month and get a 30$ Walmart gift -card and all of that goes towards my addiction to tarantulas, I buy a new one every month and own the largest spider in the world, the rest of the money goes towards incense, candles, and flowers for my shrine to the dead. I turned my apartment into a shrine for deceased people who I feel close to, and when I'm not on RF, AA, groups, or mass, I'm burning candles, incense, and chanting rosaries, hyms, the Liturgy, chaplets, and chanting the names of the spirits I feel close to, and it can lead to intense feelings of intimacy, religious ecstacy, euphoria, and unity with the spirit-world.

March 19 2018 was the happiest day of my life, and nothing good happened, save for euphoria from solitary spiritual exercises, and grace from Heaven.

I'm obsessed with dying and a bit crippled from broken bones from attempting to separate my spirit from my body. Sister death will embrace me in God's time!

I'm obsessed with military dictators, concentration camps, intolerant regimes, and religious Ascetics from the Hindu, the Buddhist, and the Catholic faith.

I'm intermittently obsessed with Japanese, French, Jewish, American, Aztec, Russian, and German history, politics, as well as stories from concentration camp victims, and issues like the LGBT movement, abortion, Islam, and immigration.

I'm obsessed with Shamanism, necromancy, and types of voodoo that are synchronised with Catholic Dulia.

These obsessions come and go and completely consume me to the point where it severely interferes with holding a job or succeeding at school.

I'm amused or intrigued (to a fault) by really taboo behaviour that I'll refrain from mentioning, seen in the Aghori Sadhus, the schizophrenics, the epileptics, the mentally deranged, the retarded, and the lepers of society.

I find euphoria climbing a hill overlooking the city and bathing in the sunshine, interceding for the world, or spending hours before a candle, burning incense, and image of a soul I'm devoted to, or prostrating before a shrine at the Cathedral.

I usually live in ghettos, and learned to trust no one, but for the first time in my life I am usually away from chattering people, in solitude, and never been happier and more peaceful.

I still long for death, and rejoice that every day is a day closer!

Any questions?
Do you have anything eccentric to share, unusual obsessions, rule of life that you live by that is unusual, quirky habits or rituals etc.?

Not something I have done for decades, but which I did do for about a decade, and in many different areas too, was caving. Not so many do this I think, so perhaps eccentric, but they are missing a lot - if one likes that kind of thing.

- I have BHJS so I'm abnormally flexible.
- My Familiar is a hermit crab, I've yet to find anyone with that.
- I'm trans, asexual, and homoromantic, a relatively rare combo.
- I have a collection of taxidermied insects, arachnids, amphibians, and reptiles (none of which I harmed, they were all found dead).
- I'm a vegetarian.
- I often use a wheelchair due to dysautonomia, I heavily decorated it with stickers and the like.
- I practice divination using runes and tarot.

How did you get dysautonomia?...

did you go from male to female or female to male?

Did you get the operation?

So, has sex not been an enjoyable experience for you?

Me? I'm completely normal! What... don't believe me... all right then.

Another thing that might have been a little eccentric at the time, as a teenager, was in cycling all around London looking for vintage sports cars to photograph. I have shown a few in my journal, some not my own, as I haven't located the film holder for my scanner yet. I had a very nice Zeiss Super Ikonta folding camera - 120 film giving eight pictures per roll - which I bought off a friend at work for £15 (early 1960s). It had a very nice lens, not sure which one, and a rangefinder too. I think I used one of those plastic exposure calculators at the time since all the photos are pin-sharp, correctly exposed, and all in black-and-white. Many of the photos could be blown up to largish sizes, given the resolution. I gave the camera to my brother when he emigrated to Australia. I wish I had kept it.

Cars photographed then included - HRG 1500, Riley Sprite and Imp, Invicta S-type?, SS Jaguar 100, Frazer-Nash, BMW 328?, Alvis Speed 20, various MGs, AC Ace, Mercedes (Nazi staff car type), etc., and various other cars at race events or Concours de Elegance. Not sure if the photos have any value.

0. How did you get dysautonomia?...

1. did you go from male to female or female to male?

2. Did you get the operation?

3. So, has sex not been an enjoyable experience for you?

0. It was likely caused by my prolonged eating disorder, I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at 14, and it's been in full remission for a couple years but my autonomic nervous system never recovered.

1. Female to male.

2. There's more than one operation, top surgery (a few different versions, all with similar results), bottom surgery (phallo or meta). I definitely want top surgery, and maybe bottom surgery, but have had neither due to lack of funds.

3. Never had sex, never been interested in it. Would rather cuddle or play video games.

I admire that you've remained a virgin all your life.

That's considered a very sacred and rare gift in some religions.

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm 20. ^_^

 

[Spiderman]

I'm 20. ^_^

You're still a kid.

I was still a virgin at 20 as well...

That might change

My family wouldn't use the word "eccentric", they use "weird". I think that's only because I have different interests than they do. I was, in effect, raised as an only child with a large age gap between me and my brothers and my sisters. I don't really think I have any eccentricities, except for things like having named my truck, a 2004 Chevy Silverado, Bryan ('Bryan with a y" as I tell people). I have a twisted sense of humor; it's often macabre and gallows, but it gets more laughs than "eeeewww!" after people catch the punch line.
