Lostinspace,

What breed is your new kitty? Great to hear you are adopting a cat!

I'm obsessed with the city of Spokane. It's my favorite town but I decided to move to Portland instead because it's where I grew up. I plan to move to Spokane in the next 5-10 years.
I want to watch other movies that were filmed there too.

I've always wanted to make my own town named after a story I wrote

too many to count, so I will only note the ones that lasted longer then 3
years in hyper focus, still have an interest in them but not to the point that
I cant just drop the subject anymore,

philosophy,
theology,
herbals,
explosives,

i'm like 20something (17 in age) csi like tv, manga, buffy, jake 2.0, medical investigation lost and alias

Meerkats
animals (other so called "animal lovers" find me strange and make fun of me)
My Little Pony customizing (I don't really care about the collecting aspect of it as I do the customizing)

Codeword
Antique postcards
perspex containers

previous: family tree, medical info and others

coins, shells, fossils, artifacts.

I obsess on adventure games, movies, fantasy books, natural disasters, roller-coasters and Asperger's/Autism. At least those are the main ones that have been sticking with me these past couple of years. It can vary all the time what I'm obsessing over on a given day. The past few days I was thinking about Spider-Man a lot because of the third movie.

Lostinspace,

Those are beautiful cats!

Definately MUSIC, number one.
And BOOKS

Reading, mostly nonfiction but some fiction
Writing
Research
History of Religions
Politics & current political climate
Social Issues, the complex causes of and possible solutions to
Race relations and the history of
Healthcare business, medical legal issues
Diseases/disease processes
Native American history & culture

and I can't forget my CATS!

Music. Reading, performing, not so much writing it, but I do keep my ear in practice by transcribing stuff I listen to.

Books. I've been reading mass marketing science fiction and fantasy for a long time now. I can easily spend a whole day at borders just sitting in a chair reading books. When I'm in a peculiar mood I'll read literature. A while back I went and read as many books by Russian authors as I could find. It was interesting.

Current boiling interest is systems programming and operating system development. I've even got an independent study lined up at college next semester with this in mind.

Psychology, Philosophy, Religion, Occultism, Sexism

To list them all from childhood - I was obsessed with street directories, telegraph pole insulators and street light luminaires (something about artistically designed objects that are so commonly found but near impossible to get a hold of), cathode ray tubes, skyscrapers, certain specific songs (Remember that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine's boyfriend froze up whenever he heard Desperado? Well I once had similar feelings for John Lennon's 1980 hit '(Just Like) Starting Over'. More recently though, I almost achieved astral projection by listening to that song while falling asleep; but that song doesn't really affect me that much anymore...), and too many other things to mention...
