I also love ammo, but then who doesn't?

The Occult, Tarot, Cartomancy, Mythology Folk Magic, as well as The Golden Girls, classic horror, and Video Games.

Cool! Um except for the Golden Girls...

^^^SACRILIGE!!

my special interests are [among many] electrical therapy for medical problems, as well as wurlitzer theatrical pipe organs, citroen automobiles, '85-'95 cadillac sedans de ville, digital audio restoration, video restoration, some abstract art, and bubblebutts.

You also have a fascination with The Frenchies, right auntblabby?

And I have a fascination with the culture of the Japaneseses.

The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo games in general, great apes and anthropology, and rodents and lagomorphs.

the french and the japanese have a mutual admiration society thing going on for many decades now, go to france and you'll see lotsa japanese stuff like cars and music and restaurants and technology as well as frenchies affectionately learning japanese, and then go to japan and you'll see frenchie cars and fashions and music and food, and lotsa japanese folk diligently learning proper french which i think aside from english is their most studied foreign language.

I think that's pretty cool actually.

As a gamer one of my favorite Japanese video games is you Yakuza franchise. In addition to being a very fun game about Japan's criminal Underworld and seedy nightlife scene it actually is a very authentic experience of what the culture is really like in Japan. The fictional district of Kamurocho is modeled after a very real district in the city of Tokyo and many of the restaurants and stores are based off real businesses in Japan. And the gangsters who wear tattoos on their backs, each tattoo tells a story related to Japanese folklore and mythology which I find interesting.

If only you were a gamer and could handle violence I bet you would find it a interesting game franchise too.

is the Ginza district [tokyo] a thing in any of your games?

I'm not sure but here is a wiki article about the fictional district of Kamurocho.

https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Kamuroch ... of%20Japan.

Apparently its molded after a real place called the Kabukicho which is a red light district full of restaurants, bars, hostess clubs, and pachinko. It's also said to be connected to Japan's criminal Underworld in a way, kinda like Las Vegas which was built by the mafia as a pleasure district too.

I only really have two special interests right now which are my girlfriend & listening to music. My music tastes are LOTS of various rock, pop, country, & comedy stuff. I've had other special interests in the past & most of them I still enjoy some but they are not at the level of a special interest these days. Some included

~Watching TV
~Playing video-games like Super Nintendo & N64
~Spending time on web forums like this one
~Researching various medical stuff especially mental disorders & psych meds
~Porn
~I really liked Legos when I was a kid but haven't played with em since I was a teen
~Both my ex girlfriends were my special interests when we were together
~A celeb crush obsession when I was single that I still love but not at the level of special interest nowadays
~I have a knife/blade collection & some other stuff like crystal skulls & such but that has never been at the level of special interest

i have an interest in collecting movies about the hereafter or heaven or alternate timelines or time travel.

My biggest interest is possibly traditional sailing vessels.
Building, repairing, sailmaking, ropemaking, rigging, navigation, and history.
