What are your present and past special interests? Right now I'm fascinated on six string acoustic steel guitars.

My main special interest is jazz and early blues music, but a close second is making acoustic guitars.

my main interest is 3d modeling.
but as always i take it to the extreme.
here are a few examples of what i mean...

im pretty obsessed with detail. if i see something that has detail that i like i will make a mental note of it then make a 3d model of it when im back infront of the computer.

Let's see,

personal finance

early evolution
music
alternative energy

Unless it's extremely complex, like particle physics or some obscure programing language, I'm pretty much interested in everything.

Going in more detail, my current special interest is dissociative identity disorder.

Bunkers and missile silos has come up again. I think it less about categorizing, more about the visual. Trying to find picture after picture on the internet. I often imagine spending time in a bunker. I would be cool to spelunk into an old missile silo...
And I'm always obsessed with psychology and analyzing people, which gets exhausting.....

Hockey (particular Minor League) Attendance Figures
Traffic Lights/Street Networks (lifelong interest)
Dating/Understanding Women
Confirming I have Aspergers (finally got the courage to make an appt)
Wrong Planet (isn't that obvious given my post count?)

Litterature (lifelong one: reading, writing, amateur publishing), it started with classical litterature but at the moment it's nearly 100% science-fiction
Go (for the last few years only, fascinating game)
Computer science (made a job out of this one)
Right now, ASD is pushing all that away though. It will stay at the top of my thoughts until I have somehow figured it out.

As a little girl I used to be quite obsessed with horses and physics.
