Your special interest?

Post Reply New Topic

My current special interest is the show "SpongeBob SquarePants." It's a bit weird, but there's something about the show that makes it so addictive for me.

This is how strong my special interest is!

Hey, there's NOTHING wrong with Spongebob. I'm older than you and I still watch it regularly. My 28 year old brother has a TON of DVDs.

You guys have much more interesting and broad obsessions than me. I get obsessed w/ "do it yourself sound absorption as applies to home music studios" or "electronics and wiring of electric guitars"

My special interest has been the 2008 flood and the flood recovery efforts of Cedar Rapids and Palo, Iowa (pictured below). I helped a longtime friend who was the mayor of the latter community with the rebuilding efforts. I found it surprising that my special interest could help so many people, but again trouble so many people (long story).

Medicine, ARGs (Alternate Reality Games) and theater

KINKS KINKS KINKS KINKS KINKS KINKS!

There...I've said it.

Snakes and Lizards.. and ASDs lately.

Meerkats, veternary medicine, Lion King, Titan A.E., lizards. The lizard one orginated from the Titan A.E. one. And my bearded dragon, Pippin. She's grown since these pictures were taken:

I think I feel my interest in manga and anime resurging (it's a pretty aspieish interest I think)

Firearms and bows, and shooting things with said firearms and bows (albeit, not often with bows, as I lose one too many arrows).

Me and dead Pepsi cans (not the best thing to shoot up close with a 12 gauge I found after taking this video; it sent slivers of aluminum about halfway to where I was shooting from):

My special interests are currently medicine and forensics.

Transportation--Specifically Highways.

I want to be a transportation engineer (I'm majoring in Applied Physics in Civil Engineering). I have most of the interstate highway system memorized. Not every interchange, just where they go, and in some cases the US Highway they replaced (I-5 killed US99, about a quarter of US40 was replaced by I-80, and the famous US66 was destroyed by portions of I-55, I-44, I-40, I-15 and I-10). I do have all of the interchanges memorized on I-65 from 38th street in Indianapolis all of the way to its terminus at 5th Avenue in Gary. I have been back and forth that way a million times. Since June of 1992 I have been living on the west side/ west suburbs of Indianapolis, and most of my family lives around Chicago (I want to live there when I'm older, Indy is too small for me...). I'm also currently a student at Purdue which is very close to the corridor.
