Hi, I'm new and just felt like posting this. It's my understanding that Aspies, like me, can be sort of obsessed with a TV show, movie, book, etc. My obsession is Power Rangers. I've loved it for as log as I can remember. My mom even said that this lead to me being diagnosed. In more recent years I've also gotten into Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So what are other people's obsessions /favorite things?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a great show! Do you like Angel too?

Wildlife, wildlife, and wildlife again!

Also, Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" (been obsessed with that for over four years, maybe more), "Earth: final conflict" (that's a more recent one), and Syd Barrett and his music (that was my greatest obsession during my teens, when I was somewhere from fourteen to eighteen).

Alphabets and thus language.
Music and thus the coding of language.
The more languages, the more beautiful the song writing.

But it's just a fanciful obsession-
Right now I am learning Russian, Danish (thanks to my new coworker!), and Polish --though I'm going to eventually make it to Italian dagnabit! and revisiting the violin, soon I hope the flute, picking up the guitar, tenitively retrying my vocals and word weaving and some day, some day, will start telling stories through the encoding of musical notes.

My day job consists of dirty labor using my hands.

Languages and music--an interesting combination. When I took music appreciation back in 1998, I became immediately interested in the music of the troubadores--they used a language called Occitan, which I have studied.

I have studied nearly 200 languages, but unfortunately, I am not fluent in any of them.

I love Meerkats ! ! The Missus and I saw a TV program about them years before the Lion King. We stopped at the San Diego Zoo exhibit and watched the little critters for about an hour.
