I just know I've forgotten something!

I don't know everything about these subjects, and I don't study them all at the same time but they are my main interests and subjects that I love

Starr,

I'm a cat lover too, as my screen name will attest to. Your cats (and everyone's here) are beautiful!

Algebra, I could sit down all day long and do algebraic equations
Time. I always have to know the precise time
My art work
Ancient history and Nazi Germany (just because its interesting not because im some Nazi freak)
Music (pink Floyd, I am Kloot, the shins, Johnny cash)
Reading

I love Meerkats too! I love the way they walk with their tails in the air, just like cats, especially Siamese.

My son's obsession is Thomas the Train. Nothing else - he reads and studies the inserts to the packages more than he actually plays with them, but we have thousands of dollars of Thomas (movies, books, toys -wooden, electric, take-alongs, clothes, etc.). He's six, and he's loved Thomas since he was two and a half. He's never enjoyed anything else near as much. That's what actually began the journey to Asperger's!

World of Warcraft
Surfing the Internet
Patterns
Prices (sometimes I am feel like a walking advertisement, I can know the price of multiple items at multiple stores)

RED MAGES!! !!

Oppressive governments
Writing
TV shows and movies by Joss Whedon
The Sims 2

*The Neverending Story (mainly the book by Michael Ende, but also the first movie)
*Domesticated and wild rats (I have three domesticated as pets)
*Domesticated and wild rabbits (I have one domesticated as a pet, but he lives in another state with my dad)
*Music and going on my walks every night while listening to the music
*I have a mild obsession with the sitcom Full House, which was worse when I was around 12.
*Sonic the Hedgehog games for Sega Genesis. (Again, this obsession was worse when I was around 12).
*Allpoetry.com and writing poetry
*Keeping journals and reading over old ones
*Ribbons people use on gift wrap. (I'm always twirling one in my fingers)
