Mine tends to change. A lot. But there always has been some sort of focus on other cultures and history.

Like in middle school I was interested in Ancient Greece and it's mythology and now that I'm in High school it's mostly general but a lot of focus is put on Europe

I have three big/main ones.
Legend of zelda is also one of mine. I've been obsessed with it for a very, very long time. Since I first played Ocarina of time. Also, the show Avatar: The last airbender. LOVE it. (and so excited for the new show!!!). My other one is anything by the author Ilona Andrews. I am so in love with all of her books/stories. They are amazing and perfect. Very Happy

.....im guessing you know about the prototype Zelda 64 ? an interly diffrent game that became somhow ocarina of time. mainly becuase of the 64 DD. and maybe zelda URA ? the game that was originaly designed to be an expansion disk for Ocarina which would plug into the 64 DD with ocarina running, if you insert ocarina into the n.64 and have a 64 DD running underneath it will actualy come up asking you to insert zelda URA although URA was never released!

i want to chat with somone who knows what im talking about lol .

Yeti, Sasquatch, Bigfoot, whatever you want to call them. I think about them a lot and like to research them online or by TV shows. I watched Monster Quest a lot, even though they seem to cover all types of cryptozoological creatures. I think they have great potential to be out there. Or maybe I just like to believe... if they're real and ever found it would take the fun out of it for me.

I cant make a good career in cryptozoology, so I study chemisty since I am good at math, memorization and seeing patterns. Chemistry is also enjoyable for me

Yes! I did already know about zelda 64, but I had never heard of ura/dd. I looked them up and read everything I could about it for the last 2 and a half hours! (I am excited about this now Very Happy lol.)
I wish that the dd had done well in japan so it could have been released here! I want it so bad now. I want ura.

I'm surprised I had never heard of ura before, even thought I knew about zelda 64. How did that even happen?! lol.

Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movies - I've been a fan of these two since January of 2010, when one fateful day I decided to watch Edward Scissorhands on a whim. From there, I went on to watch every movie that they've done together. I've never been disappointed by any of them. My favorites are Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands.

I'm anxiously and impatiently waiting for Dark Shadows, another Burton/Depp movie, to come out. I've been keeping tabs on it since before production even began. It's supposed to come out on May 11th, but no trailers have been put out yet, so there are rumors going around that its release date is getting pushed back. One Brazilian movie site says that the trailer will be out in a couple of days and that its release date is getting pushed back to June 22nd. It seems like a legit source since they got a hold of some stills before anyone else. As Absolem says in Alice in Wonderland, "We shall see..."

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Back in November of 2011, there was a sudden explosion of My Little Pony popularity here on WP. I decided to see what all the fuss was about, so I watched a couple of episodes. Then I was hooked! I have since seen every episode that they've put out. I have also amassed a modest "herd" of My Little Pony toys and a couple of T-shirts. My most favorite to least favorite characters out of the Main Six are, in order: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity.


In addition to my rather long-winded description of my Tim Burton movie and My Little Pony obsessions, I would also like to add that I've gained two new interests over the past couple of days: the webcomics Homestuck and Hanna is Not a Boy's Name. I have spent hours upon hours reading them, and they have helped immensely in taking my mind off of my anxiety regarding the Dark Shadows movie. Both comics come highly recommended by me. Hanna is Not a Boy's Name is comparable to a Tim Burton movie, mixing humor and drama with the supernatural/macabre, which is why I enjoy it. Homestuck... can't really be compared to anything. It's also pretty difficult to explain. It must be seen to be believed.
