how odd am I? scale of one to ten?

this is a bit of an opinionated question, so it it impossible to have any one right answer. my friend says I'm just in-classifiable. I'm only fifteen, by the way. I wear a variety of suits, sport coats, and blazers with dress slacks everyday as casual wear, usually with a tie, and sometimes a waistcoat. I wear a variety of pocket watches, and am learning horology, which is the art of fixing clockwork. I am learning to fix and clean my own watches by hand, so I know how the mainspring, balance shaft, hairspring, and jewels all work. I also once converted an old surplus military greatcoat into a civilian overcoat, of which I have a few. the only problem with it was that I thought it was West German, but it turned out to be East German border patrol...so now my friend thinks I'm a Soviet, not because of how the coat looks, but on general principle. because of my formal dressing, I have been likened to that of a late nineteenth century Englishman, probably because I drink tea heavily. on a mild day, I probably go through about seven or eight cups when I make it, which is often. (and I hate tea bags. they make pale tea that nobody wants to drink anyways. free leaves are much more flavorful, which makes them think I'm going even further back....). I even shave with a 1912 safety razor, which is a single bladed razor with a metal handle and head. the head doesn't come with it's own razor, so you have to buy replacements and put them in yourself. and, to add to all the oddness, I like a variety of musicians, but nothing past the mid 70's, and mainly the 60's. I listen to just about anything before that, even going back to the 1800's with the Red Army Choir...still not a communist, just like the music. the politics suck, but you have to admit that they do have a good choir. my favorite artists, however, are Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, ect. and I go to a military academy, and I am considering joining the Marines when I get out if I can't get into the Naval Academy. this is, of course, if I don't become a Naval engineer-for I am getting a job in Carderock, a naval testing facility- or a horologist, or possibly a songwriter/musician, for I'm also a fluent poet. that reminds me, I also read Shakespeare, Homer, Plato, Dante, ect. so...what does this make me...a Soviet horologist ex-Woodstock military/Naval engineer hippie poet from the 1800's? that's how my friend describes me, by the way. oh, and I'm also a bit quiet, so when I say friend, you know he's one of the few people I talk to. oh, and I do deductions like Sherlock Holmes, which is where I got my username from. obviously...
