Dear Morning After

This is the first time anyone has ever asked about an interest of mine. First time for everything. How kind of you.

I thought you might have been female, as I am.

I love to write, and have been doing so for the last 40 years. I am not sure how proficient Aspies are at writing prose and poetry due to the theory of mind issue but I try anyway. It is difficult, though. It is much easier to write an essay, or research paper. When I write fiction it sounds more like I am talking to myself or the Franz Kafka fan fiction style, which is okay by me as I do like his writing style anyway.

See why no one has asked much of me here before? I do tend to go on and on. Well, that is me.

Radio and film are interests usually found in older people. It is interesting that a young person would be interested in the old radio shows. I know my mother, as a child and young adult, listened and used her imagination a lot more than any of us today. This is why I like reading and writing--in order to exercise my imagination.
Is your occupation in any way connected with radio and film, if I may be so bold to ask? What radio programmes and films are your favourites?

Psychology, philosophy, religion, psychedelics, pharmacology, psychopharmacology.... Oh so many things.

Rebelious fictional characters who take on tne form of Punk Rockers.

Paleontology, especially Vertebrate Paleontology
Dinosaurs were one of my childhood obsessions, but in high school it developed into a broader interest of all vertebrates after I started reading about the Mammal-like Reptiles. I find it pathetic that these fascinating creatures, which dominated the world in the age before dinosaurs, are pretty much unknown to most laypeople. the only mammal-like reptile commonly known by the public, Dimetrodon, is invariably ignorantly called a dinosaur.

Microbial metabolism and cell physiology
Especially in relation with the origin of life.

Phylogeny
The study of the evolutionary relationships between species.

Theoretical Physics
Superstring Theory/M-Theory especially.

Philosophy
With an emphasis on Empiricism, Materialistic and Nominalistic metaphysics, the ontology of Emergence, and the nature of society.

-rail...especially pasenger traffic in America and Japan. I've had several model railroads and right now have a Japanese N scale 3 unit JR train set up in my extra bedroom.
-russia...I was a Russian Major in Univeristy
-foreign languages and lingusitics. No not that stupid Chomsky stuff. Comp. grammer and historical linguistics are my interest.
-Alcohol. Not simply drinking it...but knowing where it is from, how it tastes, and what to mix it with. I want to own a bar someday.

I'm a policy nazi,
If you teach me a set of rules, I will memorize them and recite them verbatum when needed,

I am also quick with learning new programs in the workplace,
I have found a way to become obsessed with my job and be REALLY good at it...

Sweeney Todd! And I haven't even watched it yet...how weird is that?

Final Fantasy
White Mages
Bards
Archers/Rangers
Paladins
