Many people find lack of desire for a mate to be weird. I get funny looks about that myself, along with lectures of how I can't expect Mr. or Ms. Right to just 'fall into my lap' and how I need to go out and LOOK. Fortunately not from my mother, or my closer friends, but it is eye-rollingly popular for more distant relatives and well-meaning acquaintances to go for such discussions.
Also, yes, wire wrapping has been the bane of my jewelry making existence. I snap wire and waste wire sooo damn much trying to twist it, and my results are always horribly messy. Which of course means I need more practice, but practicing frustrates me terribly and burns through my equipment money so much that it's a complete and utter BLEH.
