As a kid, rock music, road maps, atlas's, arenas and stadiums with their capacities, city populations, concerts.
As An Adult:

all that still, plus:
cinema (going back into silent, foreign language, etc)
cars (model numbers, engine displacements, replacement part prices, VERY COOL when I correct someone with a greasy shirt and their embroidered nametag)
motor oil (variances in chemical composition)
tires (i never shop in a tire store, have more knowledge than the managers there, always buy online)
photography
headphones (buying more all the time ... if you think the earbuds that came with your iPod sound good, you can improve 100X)
audio components
Driving in a Car.

By the way, I'm from Ohio. Is there something in the water there?

I really loved reading everyone's interests! I never knew that having an interest in roads was so popular. That's not one of my interests, but it sounds like it would be fun.

Right now, I'm interested in:
1. William Shakespeare!
2. Psychology (especially Asperger's Syndrome!)

And I go through this phases of intense fascination with other cultures/countries: I usually study the language, history, people, food, etc. I think it first started with New Zealand and then Ireland, Japan, Italy, and currently Russia. I reeeeally like languages, but right now I'm only half fluent in Italian and only speak a small amount of Spanish, Japanese, and Russian.

As I wrote in my profile: abnormal psychology, mummies and mummies with abnormal psychology (don't ask). :lol:

I'm also developing a fascination with black holes...

I am obsessed with the Britpop band Pulp. You can see the keyboardist, who I'm also obsessed with, in my avatar. Her name is Candida.

The Siamese Internet Cat Club (the best site on the Internet for anyone who loves cats in general and Siamese in particular. It is a great all pet site and a great all purpose site, too.)

I was obsessed with Pulp about 12 years ago! Used to trail around after them all the time. Even got Russell to send me a postcard when he went on tour. At the time I thought they liked me, but they probably just thought I was weird. Oh well!

Current obsessions: paleontology, genetics, Smart cars.

My friend Stephanie and I hatched a plan of how we were going to get Candida to give me her autograph. It involves tricking her by borrowing Pete Doherty's (from Babyshambles/The Libertines) son and going into a toyshop. Brilliant stuff.
