What is your "special interest"?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, I'm aware that the Meta dresses are sweet/country and the other is classic. Many lolitas in Western countries, however, refer to all styles collectively as "gothic lolita" unless they're speaking with others familiar with the fashion. The word, "gothic" is familiar enough in Western culture so calling the fashion "gothic lolita" tends to make others more receptive of it.

It also keeps people from assuming we're talking about some fetish due to the unfortunate connotations with the infamous book, Lolita.

My mum always used to say as a kid "you need to find some other interests" now i know why ! !!

My special intersts are:

Coffee - i make my own blend , grind it myself and can't live without ... I have bored people to death talking about the perfect cup of coffee and the difference between beans for years

Music technolgy and electronic music - just after learning Japanese and studying physics as a kid , came music technology and electronic music and it over took everything ! i have been a producer since the age of 10 , working in clubs as a sound and lighting engineer before forging a career on the undergound house and techno scene as a live act and producer

Illegal drugs - unfortunately i was addicted to these for 15 years , in an aspergers way ... i would constantly bore people on methods of creating these drugs , the neuro chemicals they released and drug history & culture. other users used to call me "the scientist" or tell me to shut up ... thankfully i am clean now ... being aspergers and a drug addict is not a good mix ... as i used to mainly hate the effects because most the time they made it even harder to socialise

Mine is Tamagotchi
I'm 15 and turning 16 next year
I've loved this for about 3 years (Minus 8 months but that's only because I told my mum she could give away my tamas (I kinda deserve it because I wasn't concentrating) and three weeks because my new one had a glitch that I foud was unfixable when I opend it up)
But Yeah it's awesome. I guess I love them because I like compact thing, they're cute, I love the company (Is it wierd if I like them more than organic pets?) and other reasons I can't put my finger on

But my dreams have nothing to do with Tamagotchi I'm great at sciences and I wan't to become a doctor. Not because of a facination or love of biology or any special interest. I just want to use my knowledge to help people.

At the moment: Rc cars and astronomy (particularly M42 the Orion nebula, because they discovered that there's possibly a black hole at the center of the trapezium cluster in the nebula)

22 and I have quite a few.
Snails, aviation, crime (particularly criminal psychology), astronomy/ physics, architecture... The list goes on.

For the past 3 years or so I've really been into medieval architecture, but I love all architecture especially gritty, industrial buildings that are designed to suit specific purposes. I also like contemporary architecture, and I'm pretty obsessed with color variations and textures.

One of my favorite games is The Sims 2, I can easily spend hours everyday just building and generally getting lost in that game.

I also collect real estate papers/ magazines, I have a huge collection of them as well as scrap books full of all my favorite buildings.

Bus-drivers in TGM Group.

shows:
* Battlestar Galactica (man & machine), Caprica, BSG: Blood & Chrome
* Any dating show, I'm fascinated to watch the amount of BS that happens, they say one thing, and then do something else.
* Survivor, how people stab each other in the back, all the lying and conniving happening.

First of all, I am 15. My main interests are:
-Geology: I started being interested in it when I was 4, and it also was my first interest;
-Equines: I started being interested in them when I was almost 5, and I moved from my old house to current one, and I got interested in them because there are a lot of horses, donkeys and mules near my house;
-Astronomy: I became interested in it when I was 11, and it has been because of my mother, who is interested in astronomy too.

My secondary interests (or, if you prefear, sub-obsessions) at the moment are:
-Kideney stones: I became interested in them without a particular reason;
-Timbers: I am actually interested in timbers since I was 6, and it is my secondary interest that lasted the most;
-Soccer: I became interested in soccer after seeing the UEFA European Football Championship this year (my parents like watching football matches), then I started watching cartoons about soccer and I got even more interested in it when I found out that there are some similarities between soccer and karate;
-Algebra: from a couple of months, I started doing equations and similar things when I was bored and had nothing to do.

Here are mine in approximate chronological order:

Home experiments with anything I could find.
Music
Astronomy
Sci fi
Germany, German language and culture
Greece, Greek language and culture
Progressive rock
Romania, Romanian language and culture

My foreign culture ones are due to the fact that I listen to progressive rock or folk rock from these countries, then want to know more.

Which one? Right now, something I'm building in Minecraft. However, Another current special interest is Ruger 10/22 modding. Also programming. The Minecraft project is most prominent at the moment. I'm 15 by the way.

Drawing, Painting, Design, Architecture, Music

Star Trek, the Beatles, Catholic theology, and American history.

I am extremely obsessive about all of them, although they seem to come in waves.
