Sure, we have our strict interests and stuff, right? Well, what are some interests you can't see yourself living without? For me, I'd have to say music for one. The reason is because music helps me focus. It also has helped me overcome a lot of my everyday challenges with insecurities as well as my special needs. Second would be Tom Hiddleston because that man is absolute perfection. 'nuff said. <3 Then the last would be writing because it helps me express myself, and I feel that without it... I would be struggling to get my words out verbally and emotionally.

As for anime, well... that's something I can easily live without. Same goes for trains and possibly all my other interests I haven't exactly mentioned much either. *shrug*

So, what about you?

I couldn't live without my dogs. They ARE small furry people. I don't care what anyone says.

Music can be incredibly soothing. I usually find a song that "feels right" for my mood and then listen to it over and over.

Movies and TV shows have been such a massive part of my life the last ten or so years. Absolutely massive. I can't even imagine not having that. I'm lucky to have a mom that gets it. She's said something like, "TV characters are better friends than real friends!" I don't think she completely meant it but it's nice to have someone who understands. I can't even put into words how much it means to me. You see such vulnerability, brokenness, isolation... yet also beauty, hope, and friendship.

I know what you mean. When I get home from work at night, I always play a YouTube entry which has The Who, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Smoke, and a couple of soul groups. The tape was made on 3/3/1967.

My drawing cartoons. It is something I've had a very deep and personal love for as long as I can remember.

Writing, people might not be able to know how many thoughts I really have without it. Also I feel like music motivates everything I do in my life so I would not be able to live (at least mentally live) without it.

The Kinks and music in general, the Olympics and the Internet. I also can't live without my arts and crafts.

I couldn't live without music, books, animals, blues clues (I know blues clues might be a lame thing to not be able to live without, but its one of my biggest obsessions), computers and penguins.

Science. Especially science about the human body or, even better, the brain. I cannot go through a day without reading a neurology or psychiatry textbook.
