Apart from the park, its a bit of a dive! haha! it has alot of interesting historical significance though, and a wonderful library with a contemporary art gallery above it, and a museum that is free admission! :P (and I LOVE museums)
But apart from those things, its quite a rough area unfortunately.

museums are nifty, but i dont get to visit them much because of lack of money, lack of time, and the fact that ive never lived in one area for more than two years makes me lose my knowledge of where local museums are :/ and as for rough areas, im used to that _-_ grew up in a long series of rough areas after my mom divorced my stepdad and was left nearly penniless

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunderland here is a wiki about Sunderland, it has some stuff about Lewis Carrol in it too.
Oh no! reseaching the history of the area seems like it could become a new obsession! :P *goes to read stuff* hehe

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

As of right now...

The manga "Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kurosa ... ry_Service
reading about Aokigahara forest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokigahara
Learning about Linux operating systems
programming easy games in Python for my kids
taking pictures of all of the bugs and reptiles around my house then looking up the names

But all of this can change by the time I wake up tomorrow :lol:

BeeBee23, I love how you tried to look all of this up too!! :P

The obsession I've had for about 6 years now is the Dragon Age series Dragon Age Wikia

Mainly the character Anders, mostly because I feel a sort of connection with various aspects to how mages are treated and how he reacts

Which ties into my obsession with social justice (I don't have a link for this?) and the desire for equality, which doesn't seem to be shared by many...
