Just asking, what openings do you know and usually play?

I know all typical openings. And I know that people will dislike this answer, because they cannot live with the fact that somebody actually really studied 300 openings, but I did.

I like to play the Italian and the Russian defense and the Smith Morra Gambit.
I studied a lot of stuff and now I'm extremely comfortable playing the french for Black and King's gambit as well as morra. But I do like to mix stuff up
I just move a pawn, get the pieces out and hope for the best.
I usually plays chess960 these days, but when I played classical chess:

White: Ruy Lopez, or something against the Sicilian or Caro Kann usually.

Black: Pretty much always 1.c6 2.d5 which usually is the Caro Kann against e4 and the Slav Defense against d4.
