My biggest special interest has been Doctor Who for the past three (almost four) years. I also am really interested in Glee, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Star Wars, Star Trek, and several animes. My special interests are almost always television or pop culture related.

Are you hoping to have a career in film or television then? It's something I've considered. In college I won a competition to make a Doctor Who/SJA online game at the BBC, it was awesome. All the major shows had their own office and the Doctor Who one had a TARDIS (locked :cry:

), and antique cabinets and cloches with cybermen's hands, auton faces etc. in them. I sat in Stephen Moffat's armchair

Edit:

Oh and my special interests are art, ballet, literature (mainly Gothic, Romantic, 1920s), folklore, Expressionist cinema, certain specific books/tv shows/films. Plus others which come and go (knitting and programming at the moment).

Oh that is so cool!

Did you see any Daleks? They are my favorite villian. I would love that! I'm not sure what kind of career I could have in television or film, but one would be ideal for me, I think

I did see Daleks

I hugged one at the Doctor Who experience too! Weeping Angels are probably my favourite, but I think I would have been freaked out to see them lol.

Presently for me, I would have to say story. I love the story in some video games and books, sometimes if I am really interested I will read a 400+ page book in one day, or a few if I can't play video games for some reason. I do also like strategy games, but mostly I like story. Though I also have a tendency to be slightly interested in something, then spend several hours researching it.

Me too. At the moment I'm thinking of buying a new TV and have spent a few days researching the best TV for my budget and the size of my front-room. I also LOVE wikipedia and can spend days just hopping from page to page to page (at the moment 80's British punk/hardcore/grindcore/oi!).

Me too, for both. I am also continually evaluating/reevaluating my nutritional needs, macronutrients, water intake, heart rate, etc. I have 6 health-related apps on my phone that I use.

I also have loved words, grammar, and spelling my whole life. I'm constantly noticing mistakes (although I've learned not to point them out), and I have quite a large vocabulary, although I have learned not to use it most of the time because it angers people to hear words they do not understand.

I'm beginning to get interested in bodily science, medical science, or biological science, whatever you want to call it.
