After Pink Floyd and old Ford trucks, my main obsession is Apatosaurus. My room is littered with plush and model apatosaurs

1920's(At least until the White Stripes release their next album. :lol: )

Particularly the Art Deco Movement, which was just emerging at the time.

I've been obbsessed with stand up comedy for as long as I can remember.
I think that has helped me consedirably,with social situations.I've learned expresstions and how people handle a croud.
plus laughing at myself helps me best with seeing what I do wrong.

I have several interests at any given time... it is difficult to only choose one. The most consistent ones over the last ten years or so would be music and numerology though... perhaps puzzles as well. I have this jigsaw puzzle thing...

I love a lot of things, however if I had to narrow it down to three things it would have to be musicals, especially the Phantom of the opera, Les miserables and the songs from any others!


Phantom of the Opera is a great musical! I love your avatar of Erik. :) My favorite song is "Angel of Music". Have you seen Sweeney Todd, Rocky Horror Picture Show or Repo! The Genetic Opera? Those are my favorite musicals.

My mom started taking me to the pool almost every day when I was about 6 months old and I loved it. My special interest has always been water.

JELLYFISH!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !

While jellyfish are by far my favorite and most specific special interest I also really like other marine life such as beluga whales, penguins, coral (a close relative of the jellyfish), and running water. I still really like to swim.

I also REALLY like plants. I have about 30 or so houseplants right now.... It's makes my roommate a little crazy, but the air in our place is super clean ;)

I went through periods as a child where I was obsessed with Alaska and Africa.

Ordered. That sounds fun. :)


I hope you enjoy it. The sequel is "Harry Potter un de Grulich Kamer".

Please bear in mind that I had researched Low German before attempting to read these books, and have access to various dictionaries and grammars. If you only know High German, it may be heavy going (I lent my copy to a fluent German language teacher who also spoke Afrikaans and Dutch, and she found it difficult, although she recognised some of the LG words from Dutch). I found the first page required looking up quite a few words, but after that, I began to pick up speed and was soon reading it without a dictionary, relying on context (and on my knowledge of the English version) to understand the occasional word that I did not recognise. Low German is practically a distinct language to High German - you will need to learn its peculiar grammatical features if you don't already know them.

As a result of reading these two books, my fluency in Low German improved greatly, although my LG vocabulary has an peculiar bias towards magic terminology!

Mine change constantly.
It can be annoying.
Right now they are Pokemon, stars (especially quasars, neutron stars and magnetars) planes.
