What fascinates you?
on: July 26, 2010, 07:24:11 PM
There are a few topics that fascinate me, and was wondering if other people where fascinated in a similar manor.  By fascinating I mean I send time learning about that topic for no good reason, so recording TV shows and reading what I can find.

My fascinating list is:
Squid (to a lesser extent cephalopods in general)
Mormon Polygamy
Elk
Whaling (Japanese in particular)
Romantic love

So what is on your list

Multitool (duh) .........I lived without them for years but now cant seem to do without.

Seriously though, those survival shows.  I doubt I will ever be in a true wilderness survival situation, but it is sure interesting.

Science consumes a lot of my time, nowadays mostly learning about astronomy and cosmology.  I'm interested in all areas of science though, and I've studied many aspects of physics in the past.  Physics is related to my main hobbies--mechanical repair, computers, electronics, etc.

Weather, especially severe weather like storms, thunderstorms, and everything that just looks good (like rainbows, lightning, beautiful sunsets...)

Trees. Fascinating creatures. I love looking at them, and I am learning to climb them. You get another view of the world if you sit in a tree (a large, old tree...)

Oceans, and the coast (especially the wadden sea)

We may have to talk......I considered taking up tree climbing as a hobby.  I have many large oaks in a woods behind my house.

The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Pics please  :pok:


I get in to anything and everything... my mind has always been hungry for info. I'm a scientist at heart I guess, but that extends to many varied subjects from astronomy to genetics. I like the big picture as much as the minutiae - it kind of turns in on itself when you get down to an almost atomic level.

I am also a naturalist and really interested in the living things and environment around me. I love creative thinking and invention, and original ideas of all kinds. I also am an obsessive crammer of info, whatever the subject of the moment may be. My getting in to MTs and SAKs is certainly one of those things! I go back to the stuff I love the most repeatedly but I also am able to satiate my desire for a subject quite fast, and then move on. I feel half dead when I'm not learning something new.

HK says I have Aspergers syndrome - my research on the subject makes me thinks she's probably right :D

Knowledge is power right? ;)
