Special interests

Post Reply New Topic

If you have now special interests, what are they? And if you don't have, what other things interest you?

Trains.

Trains, Dog V4, vintage cars/bikes

Baseball, bowling, the band Kansas, my cats.

I was very interested in bowling as a kid…but could never get beyond a 130 average as an adult.

I average around 200. I was better in my youth. It's nice that I've hooked my three sons on the game. We go every Wednesday night. It's very competitive...but the old man (me) generally wins.

Maybe you can enter a regional senior PBA tournament. You’ll need to practice a bit more, though. But who knows?

Maybe a candlepins tournament. Make a few bucks.

Who’s your favorite bowler? Mine was Mark Roth.

I pattern my style after Norm Duke. Straighter is greater!

Amateur radio. (callsign M0GXL). I bought a Yaesu FT-4XE handheld radio about a month ago and I'm totally addicted to it.

I don't blame you.....Norm Duke is still winning tournaments (REGULAR tournaments, not senior tournaments), even though he's only one year younger than you, and three years younger than me.

It changes. When I was younger, I was obsessed with school busses for about half a year, after that I was introduced to video games and the Internet and I get a new special interest about every 9 months that's a very specific character, usually an unnamed old man or something I find hot (like a femboy) that had 1 line. Then I go wild trying to find anyone else who likes the character, but no one knows who I'm talking about, so I make all the fanfic on my own.
Last time it was HMT Olympic (or RMS Olympic) which went on for about a year, but it's still a "background interest", basically meaning I'm still obsessed and research it occasionally. After that, I actually started designing my own ship characters, making plenty of interesting characters and a specific one that was created to become the new obsession.
If anyone asks, my special interest is now just ships in general, because it's easier to explain, considering they actually exist. I even see or hear the word "ship" or "boat" and a mini alarm goes off in my head. Someone says "ocean liner", and I'm jumping out of my seat.

^you should research ships of the past, too. Viking ships, even those boats used by ancient Polynesians to island hop.
