Special Interests

Post Reply New Topic

My obsession is YouTube

Im have several channels there but one is the master one
I love to both watch videos there and to share videos myself

I have so many ideas for YouTube and absolutely love this website....

Im now working with two videos to upload
I need to do the uploading more often and regularly....

I define my primary obsessions as the ones from the past and present where I absolutely need to ramble on about the topics whenever I can. There are four of these (starting in order of when they started):
1. Cedar Point and their roller coasters.
2. I Love Lucy.
3. A Beautiful Mind.
4. The YouTube series "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" (This is my current primary obsession.)

My special interests in Routemasters and the 1970s are very special to me, whether people like it, or not. :O)

dustintorch: Nice to virtually meet you! It's great that you are a professional! I had a few years off dancing during the most important time to be training if you want to be a dancer - with that and with my nerves and terrible memory meant I could never be a professional. I'm ok picking up tap and ballet choreography because they're pretty structured and symmetrical but I'm terrible with contemporary, takes me ages to "get". I've been told I should try and audition for something but I'm much too scared and lacking in confidence. I am happy going to class, teaching and doing amateur performances. I studied a full-time dance teaching course last year so I am a qualified teacher - what a fun year that was, I loved it! I now teach ballet, jazz, tap and a little hiphop (not my strong suit!)

I found out one of my partner's special interests is death by infectious disease and poison. I always knew he had a fascination... he would say things about ebola and platypus venom and I never noticed much because I watch forensics shows and read forensics books (one of my special interests) so it seemed normal enough to me, then suddenly I realized what it was and I asked him if he ever studied such things and it turns out he did study and store away all that information quite passionately at one time and he apparently still does because he memorizes all the flu strains every year. I laughed because I thought it was cute.

Currently and ongoing:
Kurt Cobain and Nirvana.
The history of Seattle.
Words and language.
Human anatomy, particularly embryology.
Eschatology and afterlife beliefs.
World mysticism.
Gnostic beliefs and mythology.
Collecting old religious books, medical/anatomy books and 1950s 'wife and home' magazines and ephemera. And usually, making art out of them.

The anatomy actually comes in handy (I'm a cancer registrar). The rest are just things I find fascinating. The longest running is the thing about words; I've been going round driving people nuts with etymology more or less since I learned to read.

Mine is that I always have to have some sort of a project going. Usually involving building something or restoring something. Current project is restoring an old Jeep. Before that, I restored an old Coke machine. Before that a Oak Dresser. Before that was a old sit down type arcade Pac-Man game. I just feel awful if I don't have a project in the works. It also keeps me from having to talk to people much. So, double bonus for me.

Mine are animated sitcoms (especially Simpsons and South Park), transportation-related things, home design, geography, geology, art, architecture, foreign languages and cultures (especially Central Asia--Mongolia, the 'Stans, etc.), stand-up comedy, artsy/indie stuff.

um....I suggest the OP not to bump the thread like this, its the second time now......it starts to looks like spam and spam is not appreciated
It would be diffrent if it is direct responses to other members posts....

I mean I like to visit this thread for new posts about peoples interests but I dont like to enter it just to see the OP bump it. If a thread die then it die.....

When I was very young I got my hands on an astronomy book (Our Universe). What fascinated me most about the book wasn't the planets. It was the gods the planets where named after. Later a friend of mine introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons and I developed a huge interest in RPGs of all kinds. I have Stacks of RPG books. Some of them I have never played. I used to sit in my room and dream up characters to play in these games. Then I was introduced to computer RPGs first text based games and later graphics based games such as EQ then WoW. I now play WoW alot. I suppose it's my special interest or, just the logical progression of it.
