Why don't you go ahead and ask individuals via email? If the answers aren't of too personal a nature, they might be shared in this community as well. Questions by curious but courteous singlets often engender good discussions and bring out concepts that might not have been shared otherwise.
I'd like to thank you for your candid intro. Permit me to be candid as well. I think that in your self-description of having a "fetish for the crazies," you are actually referring to being interested in and wanting to understand people whom society has labelled as insane or "too different", &c., and that you have always seriously questioned the boundaries of so-called normality. As a psych student, you will soon learn that fetish has a specific meaning, which you clearly did not intend.
Most people who question normality have a reason for doing so, and if it does not lie in themselves it usually originates with a friend or family member who has been degraded for being different.
At any rate, you are welcome to read our personal livejournal, to ask us questions there, and to email us (ksol1460 at livejournal dot net).
