I have had several over the years; and for the purpose of this thread, internet porn doesn't count (even if it is your main interest)

I can't pick between two: medicine and languages.

Is there such a thing as multiple singular special interests? Some are interrelated...

Planetology, theoretical astrophysics, science fiction (reading and history of), history in general, human psychology, and dabbling in the hard sciences of all sorts (just don't get too abstruse with, say, organic chemistry - I said "dabbling").

It's collecting things (and playing/ reading them) from my fandoms: Marvel Comics and Dragon Quest.

I have learned a lot of things from them (especially language-related things), and I could be talking about them all day long.

ballet...I can't imagine a world without it. If for some reason I wasn't able to do ballet everyday (and someday I won't) then it would be drawing.

Like it wasn't at one point.

Crime. More forensics than anything else, but not completely, so crime in general is a better description.

They tend to change and at the moment maybe the ADD.

I think it would be fair to say that I am 'between' special interests at the moment.

I have been spending a lot of time reading about AS and on WP (in case you haven't noticed :lol: )

Geneology had me in shackles for quite a while and is still a casual interest. (Once you get back to 1690 it isnt easy to go back any further unless you are Royalty :wink: )

Also I'm recently like obsessed with organization/efficiency/optimization in all areas of... everything. (See my sig?) I'm going over to my messy friend's house tomorrow. Mwahahahahaha, it will be so organized when I leave.

Lately my most focused one lately has been the Autistic Spectrum. But my most apparent one, since it's been more ongoing for a few years now, has been reptiles. I just dressed my boa up as a princess and took pics for my job's pet costume contest. :D
