A little about my interests

Paddy

Hi everyone,

I think that one of the nicest parts of this community is this section, so I thought I'd share some of my interests with you all.

My interests presently are:

History and mythology from ancient Greece and Rome,

Writing fiction(although I haven't really written anything for a little while)

Cats, I LOVE them, they're so wonderfully quiet and, just as importantly, not in your face all the time

Starwars is life, I even liked the sequels, especially The Phantom Menace and The Revenge of the Sith. Darth Maul was woefully underused, sadly. I am so looking forward to seeing the new films, too. Can't wait for them to come out on DVD.

Star Trek to a lesser degree, although there hasn't really been a new series for quite some time to maintain my interest, and I have seen all the original and later series many, many times, and, of course, the films.

Game of Thrones is a brilliant series, and I can't wait for season 6 to come out on Amazon.

The Walking Dead is a great favourite of mine too, I own all of the first five series, and am looking forward to getting season 6 on Amazon.

I also take a keen interest in science(although I have not studied it to any great degree), Autism, which I have obsessively studied over the last few months and, finally, because I am disabled I also take a keen interest in my health, although that probably isn't a positive thing because that interest does via into hypochondriac territory, sadly.

Just a little about me, and I look forward to reading about people with other interests, and especially people with interests similar to mine if anyone would like to share.

  • Hi Buffy, thanks for sharing your interests with me. Which language is your favourite? I love the sound of French and Italian, but also the sound of Japanese and Chinese fascinate me, although I don't speak any of the last two. I was quite good at French in school and have tried to take it up again, but, like you, I have a lack of people to practice with, and I'm not outgoing enough to approach people on the internet.

    I always wait for the full box-set to come out of a programme that I want to watch, as well, because I hate waiting for things too.

    I am usually quite good at working out what is going to happen in a film, but, I have a tendency to point it out, and that means I'm not always popular with people I am watching them with.

    I can defintely relate to you not liking surprises, because I don't like any kind of change to my routine whatsoever, which is probably something I need to work on.
