Astronomy. It began when I was about 4 or 5, when I first saw the stars and it is still today. It's been going strong now for around 44 years :)

Japanese.

日本語

Especially the way kanji or hànzì are built up. In this example the first two (日本) are easy, but the third (語) consists of 言, 五 and 口.

It was drawing and art, for many years. Now it's hard to say. Probably anthropology and it's subfields, particularly linguistics. But now I just go from one obsession to another pretty quickly.

If you are either asking what is my most intense special interest or what was, both answers are WRLL (Watching Videos, Reading Text, Listening To Audio, and Looking At Pictures/Images) .


That has pretty much been my primary one also, outside of my current obsession with a computer game.

Exploring outdoors and taking pictures is another.

Anime and jrock in middle school/early high school. I didn't even get that into japanese culture/food/shintoism like the typical weeb, it was just anime and jrock, and I literally had no other interests for like 5 years.

I've always obsessively collected sanrio and sanx merchandise. Sanrio is the company that makes hello kitty. Everything I own is hello kitty, my melody, and little twin stars. It's way too much but I love it.( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈ )

Another one of my biggest special interests was The Kinks. I've been thinking I should get back into that one. Who am I kidding? I've changed and grown. At least I think I did.

Both my ex girlfriends which I'm so over & the iCarly star, Miranda Cosgrove. I have a mega huge crush on her that turned into an obsession.

Crafting... And the concept of secrecy. Both of these things ARE my way of my life. :lol: It's also how I usually approach my learning.

Without a doubt, The Simpsons. I've been obsessed with the show since I was about eight years old and have over 23,000 posts on a Simpsons forum.

My biggest special interest I think is definitely my current one, which is Muse. My avatar is a picture of the lead singer, Matt Bellamy. :mrgreen: I've been to five of their shows, and was front row at four.

I've been a hardcore fan since 2012, and they came into my life at a very important time. I think it's suitable that I link the song in my username, which has helped me cope with things that have happened to me:
