Other Trends

Postby Lone_Buck » Friday 4 June 2004 9:33:45pm

So i think it's safe to say that everyone in here is a big Harry Potter fan, or as i like to call us, Pot Heads (j/k). I was just wondering what other trends everyone is into, or was into.
I used to be a big Popeye fan, and also a Garfield one. I am still a huge Ninja Turtle fan, though i don't like the show, and I love Bad Boys II.

What do y'all like??

After asking a question of you in the avatar thread I remembered something I could put here.
I used to be into curling.
That is a winter sport originating in Scotland.
It involves sliding 40 pound granite stones down a sheet of ice while the ice is swept (yes with brooms) in front of the stone to try and control its glide down the ice.

It was a really fun sport but I don't do it anymore because it is also a very expensive past time.

I really into....well, music. And jamming (sitting in a garage, basement, living room, or any of the above playing music with fellow jammers)

Something else I'm into, which might make me sound like a dork and might make my literary, is Oscar Wilde. That's a strange obsession of mine.

And anime. I used to like it a lot more, but I'm still into it.

I love Lord of the Rings. I'm a huge fan since I saw the movies. I read the books and bought them...
I really like Egypt too (or must it be programs or books?). The Gods, Tempels and Pyramides are very interesting. Osiris :grin:.
And I almost forgot: Lara Croft, Tomb Raider! I prefer the 4th part of the games. Really long and beautiful. :)

I'm interested a lot in Ancient Egypt and Formula 1 though that seems rather boring lately (especially since my favourite racer left).

A fun topic....hmmmmmmm

I don't know if this is a trend per se, but I am interested in glass and collect it...more specifically, my passion is unique marbles or beads. I have a lot of vintage beads and modern artist made glass pieces and some AMAZING artist made marbles.

I love Gumby, but no longer actively collect.

I've been a Pokémon fan for years. I have got LOTS of cards and three video games and so on. I don't like the TV series, though. I can't stand those kids :mad: But the video games are fantastic, I play them over and over (I even bought the imported US version of "Silver" - I live in Austria - and I was about 11 then, have to say it really helped me improve my English).

Star Trek: The next Generation is another of my obsessions. Data's a cutie :oops: And of course science fiction books. I've got some original books from the 60s which cost me quite a bit, oh yes, I'm crazy :lol:
AND I'm a huge Beatles fan and Alanis Morissette used to be my favourite singer, but that has faded a bit (I still like her music very much, though).
Apart from science fiction, I love fantasy - literature, films, computer games, pen&paper games... I'm generally absolutely into books, I read a lot.

Gosh, I seem to have so many hobbies, I feel busy now :grin:

I am into any music, except rap, but thats not real music. Mostly Classical with a little rock added in, seriously, put on some Bach or Stairway to Heaven and I am golden.

I am also into Dungeons and Dragons, along with Magic, I also collect and paint LOTR models.

Plus anything computer related. I am into programming right now, but I really like doing custom case designs, not to mention building the computer itself.

Lastly, i am into photography, most herpatological photos.
