Niche interests!

I can endlessly dive into these topics - parrots, divination, astrology, websites. Especially websites, the web, the history of personal computing. I see myself as a tech witch which is why I teach web development, for the empowerment.

For over a year I've been obsessed with Baltic Finnic oral poetry and can barely think of anything else. Apparently it's a little bit annoying I sound like I don't have opinions on anything else. But there's like over 100k of them available online, every time I even peek at them I find new exciting things! And then I'm like that meme of the crazy-looking conspiracy guy trying to explain to someone why I think this wizard hero is totally the same as the wasp in this other poem I swear.

Oh gosh my niche interest just happened very recently all of the sudden and I don't know why. I like collecting retro toys.

I think what sparked it was my intense obsession with wanting and, eventually ,getting the 5 inch strawberry shortcake doll.

Then, as I was digging in my closet I realized I had some small trinkets that fit into my small shelf I have as well as with a small collection of vintage looking toys I had lying around.

The main highlights I have are Strawberry Shortcake, mentioned earlier, along with a mini Care Bear(I Care Bear), a Tony Hawk finger board(My brain just registers that as a teck deck.), Worm on a String, Some new-ish Garbage Pail Kids Cards(The company still makes designs, btw there's a parody of one I have of Miku called Manga Mandy.), a McDonald's Furby, and the Happy Plant Grimace Figure to name most of them.

The next ones I hope to get soon are Rainbow Brite 5 inch doll, a McNugget Buddy Cowboy, and a Vintage style My Little Pony.(But not all at once though. That's insane.)

I think I like collecting them because they both have me connect back to a simpler time with childhood and also have me intrigued with how they design the toys as well.
