So, how weird are you??

Shine a light 24!
Is a 360Β° photo possible?We have one oak standing lamp next to the piano, but 9 pairs of binoculars on top of it and a sword inside it (and another dozen wooden swords/staffs around the house).
Bought 21 books yesterday; a library is perfectly normal isn't it?
Stopping now. -

Oh are we talking about lamps? I feel like at one point (in an earlier rental) we had a million lamps in one room, but now things are relatively calm. One lamp in the living room, one lamp by the piano... three lamps in our bedroom because one on each side of the bed, and one on a dresser that's hooked up to a wall switch. One lamp in the guest room, one lamp in my home office.... and one or actually maybe two lamps in Mr. SK's studio.

Optics are fabulous, camera lenses, binoculars, telescopes.
When does a collector become an obsessive? -

Two pianos is definitely not excessive. I had a digital and an upright for a while. I never played the digital though, so when I got my grand (and got rid of the upright) I sold the digital as well.
@jon-nyc what is your second piano? I assume a digital or hybrid? What kind?
@kluurs the more I think about it, the more I think 24 is a lot of lamps for one room....

Six OIL lamps. The first one was left in the house by a previous owner. Then I found a matching one in an antique shop and thought it could use a mate, and they could flank the fireplace mantel. Then I fell in love with a pair of sleek modern ones (Wolford) to grace the other mantel in the foyer. Finally, I bought and reconditioned two hand-held lamps for carrying around the house during a power outage (memories of Hurricane Sandy).

I think we need some photos of all these lamps, or at least any interesting ones! Starting with the oil lamps, @realplayer !

Save for counting all you weirdos as friends, I am normal, not weird at all.
While I have a normal number of steak knives, I rarely use them to eat food; rather, I use them for food prep.
I am very good at separating meat from bones using only a spoon and a fork. This does not make my weird, just eccentrically skilled. -

I have zero lamps in my living room but have been meaning to buy one.
Trying to think about what, of my possessions, makes me weird.
I have 2 pianos, but that doesnβt make me weird here.
I have probably 7-8 suitcases. I married Imelda Marcos - I think Mayla might have as many shoes as kluurs has CDs.

I understand having a digital with an acoustic.
Does anyone here have two acoustic pianos?
The only person I've ever met lucky enough was my piano teacher who had a large Bluthner grand(7ft?) And I think a Steinway upright for students. It's a matter of space more than anything.Ventosa viri restabit

Probably 20ish battery candles and battery 'twinkle' lights around that go on around sunset. (didn't take too long before I got rechargeable batteries!)
Living room/dining room loft space in a converted candy factory building from the early 1900's..

What is a battery candle? Is it a stick type light like the kind people sometimes put in their windows?

That sounds like it would make a very cool space!
