When someone does something ‘interesting’ and a little different, they get my admiration. Most people do ordinary things, of course, and there is nothing wrong with that, but when someone has a quirky hobby, like growing massive veg for example, or something else deemed a little odd, I think its great.

It tells me that this person has an interest and they are quite happy to go off and follow that interest and do their thing in their own way. They don’t need the validation of the ‘beautiful’ and ‘popular’ folks who can, quite frankly, be bloody boring (but I do know there are exceptions to the rule)!

I like such people because they nearly always have interesting stories to tell about their adventures through their time doing their funny little hobby. Yes it may well be odd, but someone who is happy to be odd is comfortable with themselves and I admire that immensely.
