venusinchains picked seven of the interests listed on my profile page (I didn't put much more than that) and asked me to explain each. Here we go:
Math: I like math, despite occasionally not being perfect with it. I like adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing. I don't mind crunching state and municipal budgets and federal commodities export figures to write articles for work. I like calculus, trig, and geometry, and was extremely good at all three in school. I like physics, despite difficulty making the "leap" from numbers to practical application. I love number games and when I had isomnia in school, would lay awake and either make up stories in my head to construct "rules" for number patterns in my brain. (I might be a better writer if I took the traditional literary route and disliked math; but I can't. So my brain is divided.)
Archon: http://www.archonstl.org and http://www.archonmasq.org/default.aspx is sort of whatfinding_neo, a_silver_rose, dahlianna, and sometimes metalkatt and I do. Well, or did, at any rate; I don't do it so much anymore. (Truth be told, I'm looking for another con these chuckleheads would be willing to go to with me ...)
Star Trek: My first real "fandom," I suppose. A variety of people got me into the fandom after I started watching Next Gen in 1992, while in college. I had a roommate who hated me, so I would take my homework to the lounge and watch late-night TV and that's how the Trek rerun-watching started. Mom always liked TOS, so I grew up with that and the first movies, though.
Science fiction: Not really a fandom, per se (hard to do in the mid-80s with no Internet or dedicated conventions), but I loved "Back to the Future" and my boyfriend and I would discuss it for HOURS and hours, and I collected stuff from it. I wanted to be Marty and he wanted to be Doc; despite this, I still see no slash between the two.
Reading and Writing: I lump these together, because I've never really had one without the other. I read constantly, and I love to write, though I confess I'm a lazy git and have never written a book despite having many ideas. I'm just not good with long plotting and after years of learning to scale back for newswriting, not so hot with the descriptive prose, either.
POTC: Well, that's obvious enough if you read this journal, hello! LOL. There are very few movies in my experience where I like everything about it, and CotBP (the first movie) is one of those few.
