What does your special interest say about you?

Post Reply New Topic

I have plenty of short-term special interests, too many to list. he main special interest from my childhood, which continues in a subdued manner today, is vampires. Fiction, folklore, whatever.

This was a problem.

I was not diagnosed with AS until I was 24. But I had the joy of starting meds and 'therapy' at ten. The vampire obsession was considered an obsession with death, and an indicator of how crazy I am.

I really, really grew to hate that this was a special interest of mine. I learned to suppress it, but it usually comes back eventually.

Now that Twilight is a Thing?

I really, really hate that this trash disguised as vamp fiction is mucking up my special interest and causing people to think I like to read crap books.

I mostly keep the vampire obsession to myself for the above two reasons. Mostly because of Twilight these days, though. Blech.

Why have you been avoiding the Benny And Joan Spokane?

for me it's like this:

Main Interests:

1. Toys
2. History/Cultural History
3. Economics/Economic History

More Casual:

1. Entertainment Industry--movies, music, classic sitcoms( kinda intertwined with #2, technically)
2. Business

What's 'at say about me?
