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.

  • I admired Spock because he usually seemed impervious to the many slights given by other crew members, in particular Dr. McCoy, who seemed to take delight in making venomous remarks about him. Mind you, Spock was only half Vulcan so sometimes the nasty remarks got through!

    On a more serious note though, I did think that Mr. Spock was possibly used as a role model for (especially) young people about the best way to deal with problems in life in terms of being mature and using reason and logic to solve their problems. I think the producers would have been very well aware of this and the regulatory bodies at the time would have also, and no doubt approved.
