Things to get interested in

Hope

I need a new interest, something to get engrossed in, that involves facts. I need to get so obsessed that it overshadows my horrible anxieties. An absorbing special interest is probably the best anxiety cure for myself that I can think of. When I used to have obsessions, in the Titanic, for instance, I had fewer anxieties.

What things are you interested in? What do you find absorbing and why?

    I saw the Channel 4 documentary last night, the King in the Car Park.

    Did it explain how the DNA of someone living now could confirm it, as the amount of Richard III in his DNA must be extremely small given that the number of people that have contributed doubles every generation?

    It didn't. However, there was a piece on the whole thing on Channel 4 News as well, and they mentioned Maternal DNA, which is comparitively stable, and is often used for genetic identification purposes.
