From last natter, I got 80.6% Correct on the Tone Deaf Test.
I think it's not as hard as it thinks it is.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I used to have matching luggage, but one of them perished in the cargo hold of a 747. It was a good death.
I have matching dishes - a discontinued Corelle pattern that I add to ever so often from eBay. I love Corelle; that stuff has made it through the last 20 years with only one breakage, and it still looks good. Flatware, though, I can't bring myself to shell out money just to have flatware that matches. All mine is random stainless in patterns I thought were pretty, cobbled together from thrift stores and yard sales. Doesn't matter that it doesn't match.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Flatware is another thing that is terribly cheap at TJ Maxx and the like.

Mine are from Ikea. I also have a fawncy set that comes in its own box. Haven't used it yet. It was a gift from the parents. As were the Ikea ones.

I kind of want new dishes and flatware. but it seems silly. I love Robin's fiestaware though.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Flatware I have. Oneida. Wedding present.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Flatware, though, I can't bring myself to shell out money just to have flatware that matches.
OTOH, I bought myself a 12-piece set of good solid (stainless) stuff as soon as I was out of school and into my "I'm not getting married any time soon, so I'm'a outfit my own damned kitchen" phase. I couldn't be arsed to get matching dishes for many years after that, but I just hate using the cheap forks that feel all light and flimsy in my hands.

Fiesta rawks!

My "china" and flatware are the sets my dad bought when he and Mom separated nearly 30 years ago. He had put them in storage when he remarried a few years later, and my sister had them for a few years when she graduated from college. When she moved west about 15 years ago (God, has it been that long?!?), she left them in Mom's basement, and I ended up with them when I got my first apartment on my own. I donated the cups and saucers to Goodwill last year (never did use them), so I just have the plates and the flatware. I keep meaning to replace them with good quality ones whose pattern I actually like, but that's waaay down on my list of Things to Spend Money On.
