Personal Interests

Post Reply New Topic

What are your personal interests? I'm looking for patterns so I can accurately do my senior project.

I'll start: My personal interest is 3D platforming games and technology.

You have to do a senior project too? I was thinking of doing mine on making a car effectively run on alternative fuels, but I'm not totally sure about that yet.

But anyway, my interests (other than AS) are:

Flight sims
FPS games
RTS games
Computer hardware
Anything related to astronomy or quantum mechanics
The internet
Cars
Anything mechanical or electronic

Lately I don't want to share any of my special intrests with anyone...particuarly my new Sonic obsession and veternary medicine obsessions. I don't mind sharing my vet obsession with people who know what I am talking about but I have no paitence with idots who try to make me feel like an idot. I don't know why but I just want to keep my new obsession to myself. I've been working on a picture of Tails the fox (at the vet's) for over three days and haven't really been concerned about anything else. I don't even think I've taken a break to eat yet and I stayed up all night to work on it. I don't need friends, just give me my special intrests.

Sci-fi TV shows/movies (Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf)
Tim Burton's movies (Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd)

1. painting/making webcomics (my secret nerdy hobby)
2. karate
3. playing music (sometimes building musical instruments)
4. Hiking/camping

Games - I started with tabletop wargames and roleplaying games in the 80s, stuck to mostly roleplaying games in the 90s (but kept buying the game that was my primary interest during my teens), and transitioned to video games in the mid-90s. My preference is for RPGs and strategy games, with a focus on SF and Fantasy.

Autism, ADHD, Neurology - While the two specific conditions have been a big interest for me, neurology is generally something I research to learn more about the first two things.

Science fiction and fantasy novels - All over these. Everything from hard SF to sword and sorcery.

TV shows - Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Star Trek: TOS, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Justice League... I tend to focus on one at a time, and cycle through them. I like to marathon an entire series at once (recently did with Battlestar Galactica, Black Adder, and Firefly, and currently doing with Red Dwarf. Plan to do next with Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe, possibly also Xena).

Movies - SF and F by preference again. Action's good, especially Hong Kong style wire fu and gun fu. Give me flying martial artists doing implausible feats any day.

Cats - Cats are a long-term interest.

Mythology - especially Norse and Greek. I love anything to do with the Greek and Norse gods.

Superheroes - comic books, roleplaying games, movies, etc.

Anime - Nothing recent, but stuff like X/1999, Neon Genesis Evangelion, one I'm forgetting that involved a lot of AI and men in black, many I would have liked to watch all the way through but never managed.

Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music - lots of this. I still like it, but not as much as when it was my interest for a good two years.

Most of my interests are sort of hobbyish, but they are rather consuming in their turn.

Videogames-Been raised on them my whole life. I have always had a large collection of games for both my console and my PC and I'm really into RTS's and RPG's.

Anime-(this one I'm shaky on)But I tend to like most anime that I watch and my most recent obsession in anime is the new remakes of Evangelion which are SUPERB in my opinion.

Music- I LOVE listening to music, I can't play for crap (I've tried twice, my hands are not stable enough to do so, but I can play games like no other IDK). I'm into rock (alt. 90's, 80's, all of it!), orchestral, and anything really, I'll give it all a chance.

Certain TV shows- AKA Firefly, The Twilight Zone, Dexter, Star Wars The Clone Wars, etc.

Films- Yeah, films in general.

Philosophy- Pondering the why, where's, and how's of anything and everything has always entertained me.

(lastly for now) Psychology- The human mind is absolutely fascinating. This is my major in college as well!
