What are your current aspies obessions?

How often do the change?

Three years ago I wrote a screenplay.
Two years ago I produced two rock/ska albums.
Last year I wrote a dance pop/electro album.
Last month I started writing a short story but stopped because my good computer is in the shop.
I plan to start writing a rock opera this summer. It'll probably take me a year.

That means my special interests lasts about a year.

The Kinks
The Internet
The Olympics
The Human Brain
Wii Fit +
Music
Ladybugs
LED lighting and lights
Computers
Vintage drum sets
Vespa street scooters
Vintage androgynous clothing
Money
The Mid 60s in England
Routemasters
London
England

I've had most of those special interests for most of my life

This is appropriate. The last two weeks I've been listening almost exclusively to Chopin and other classical music.

I sometimes feel like exploring new grounds and then I easily become obsessed.

I should add: Before these two weeks I didn't listen to classical music at all. It's my latest obsession after Thomas Newman.

Mine don't change as much as I gain a new one every couple of years or so. Like players on stage, the spotlight shines on whichever one is active at the moment but the others never leave my mind.

Aquatic Sea Mammals
English Etymology
Recipe Books/Collecting/Organizing
Plants & Gardening
Human Nutrition & Health
Bicycling
Reading
I have an ongoing love affair with Learning
Useful Magazine-Article Collecting
Wilderness Survival and Backpacking/Hiking
Cooking
Sewing
Dog Behavior and Intelligence
Microbiology
Biochemistry

In no very particular order

Edit: Oh man... how could I forget Neurology and the Brain?

Just remembered about Insects and Rock/Fossil/shell collecting from my younger childhood. Those were the good ol' oblivious days.

Human biology, horology, meteorology, astronomy, rocks & trains are obsessions that have been around, since childhood. They tend to ebb and flow. Heavy metal music has been an steady obsession, that started about 12 years ago. Emperor penguins are a recent addition.

Science fiction
Energy production (including many unconventional, even pseudoscience methods)
Fusion
Lasers
Stirling
Propulsion(rockets, ion, reactionless, mass drivers, rail guns)

I have been obsessed with Johnny Cash for around 35 years.

I've been obsessed with The Kinks for 28 years.

My current obsessional is asperger's itself ever since I first learned about it 4 months ago.

My obsessions usually rotate between a few subjects every couple months or so.
It's a big cycle.
One month it's astronomy, the next it's rc cars, then guns -archery and hunting, alternative energy and then back to astronomy.

The Kinks were a well-respected band...

(Geez, I apologize for the corniness. I've been waiting so long to use that)

I actually find that quite funny.
