Quirky obsessions

[Ratchetman1982]

Dinosaurs. Always dinosaurs.

Gosh, I have so many LOL
But some of the ones currently: Markers and enamel pins.

I have markers of all types: permanent, water-based, paint, alcohol-based, fine/medium/large tip, etc. I don't like writing with typical ballpoint pens (I hate how most of them drag across the paper), so I typically use extra fine-tip, non-bleed markers for writing.

As for enamel pins, I have over 100 of them I've collected over the years.

I need a new one it’s so boring when I’m between obsessions.

If they are transforming robot dinosaurs, I'm in.

I have a weird obsession with polishing my shoes.

When I see patterns of squares or rectangles, I like to count them if I can.

Stairs, I count stairs no matter where I'm at. No idea why.

Jesus this thread could be dangerous for me.
I've loads of quirky obsessions, that are also OCD.

Where do you want to start?
Fountain pens: 1 hand-made glass dip and scratch, 1 calligraphy with a selection of nibs, 4 cartridge pens,1 black feathered quill.
21 bottles of ink, a selection of colours
4 ringbinders and 3 baskets of notelets and letter paper with matching envelopes
or craft papers
don't even start me off on baskets of yarn

I'll need to think some more so I don't sound insane.

I do that too 99% of the time.

Fountain pens are absolutely dreamy and stationery is my weakness.

what can I say...it's medical...undiagnosed ...

I love little notebooks. I can't have enough of them. If I'm in a store that sells them, I have to look through them all, see if any are "just right" maybe pick a couple out that I like. Then I put them back because I have enough already... Then I'll come back and grab one.

Looooove stationery! I’d probably be into fountain pens, too, if my handwriting was better (or I had the patience to make it better)

 

[ScarletDaisy]

Currently obsessed with wanting a digital notebook!

I love my Kindle Scribe! (It's another notebook. )

Kinda jealous of the pen collection

Kinda jealous of the pen collection

Thank you, (beaming)

I love my Kindle Scribe! (It's another notebook. )

I read that it's great if you want to read and take notes in books. I actually HATE annotating or taking notes in books (I think it's law school PTSD). But do you like it for just regularly taking notes, too??

 

[snexxer]

Oh kay.

If I see a hand towel that doesn't have a hanger or rail, I "have to" fold it into a small square.

When I choose to collect something, I need to collect everything.

Im obsessed with being the best I can at anything I choose to do.

I've had more different types of jobs than most people, and when I do I, have to get qualifications in them.

Screwdriver bits have to be aligned in their holders so all the flathead, Phillips etc are facing the same way.

You are nuts, little brother!

I do. The pen is fabulous. I've run through a couple of tips already, but they are easy to change and not very expensive. It has different settings, so you really feel like you're writing with pencil, pen, marker -- I really like the feel of it.

There are different page settings, so you can have different lines, grids, or no lines at all -- Very versatile.

It's also very easy to organize your writings. You can have make folders and subfolders as needed.
