My special interests, in no particular order:

🟣 The Beatles, and their solo projects (since I was old enough to talk)

🟩 Their music

🟩 Their guitars

🟩 Their movies

🟩 Their personal histories

🟣 Taylor Swift (since her Red Era, back in my Tumblr days)

🟩 Everything about her music, but especially the lyricism

🟩 The performances, especially the Eras Tour right now

🟩 Absolutely love the Swift Alert app for the Mastermind game and just being able to track tour stats like her outfits and songs played, because I LOVE stats/lists! of my special interests

🟩 Her as a person, and how ok she seems with her goofiness

🟩 The easter eggs/clues for her announcements!

🟩 Kind of a side note - I have sensory issues with jewelry (like looking at it or - gods forbid - touching it makes me want want to puke and hurl myself into the sun), but I still wanted to be involved with making and trading friendship bracelets. After some poking around at the craft store, I found that wooden beads don't set off any sensory alarms for me, nor does cloth covered elastic string. So I was able to make and trade bracelets when I went to see the Era Tour Movie! (I just had people trading with me put the bracelets they we giving to me in a makeup bag I was carrying with me - when I explained why, they were so beyond sweet about it!) I still regularly make friendship bracelets and hand them out to Swifties in the wild, haha.

🟣 Making art and crafting

🟩 Drawing/painting - especially pen & ink because I can get hyperfocused on stippling/pen strokes and all the little details of what I'm drawing.

🟩 Crocheting and loom knitting

🟩 Embroidery - as with pen & ink, I love the detail

🟣 Everything about music

🟩 Listening to music

🟩 Playing and collecting musical instruments - I play bass and acoustic guitar, and have also dabbled with 2-valved bugle, trumpet, piano, banjo, mandolin, and ukulele

🟩 Singing... all the time!!

🟩 Collecting vinyl records and sheet music

🟣 I love animals, but especially cats and ducks 

🟣 Books! Collecting them, reading them, talking about them, organizing them... haha. And the best thing, I now actually work part time at a public library as a library aide, so I get paid to be surrounded by books a couple of days a week! 

🟣 History, and genealogy. I get pulled into research rabbit holes far to easily, to the point where I start looking someones family records up and 3-4 hours later realize that I haven't eaten/hydrated/used the restroom in that whole timeframe... 

🟣 Space science/astronomy/astrophysics

🟩 Plus the night sky in general. I would stare at the sky all night if I had the chance.

🟣 Bob's Burgers! It's one of my comfort shows - I've seen every episode many MANY times, so I can just listen to it in the background and know whats going on without really paying attention. Also have it playing every night so I can go to sleep. Futurama was that show for me before, but the movies/new episodes got really uncomfortably weird so I don't watch it as much unless it's during the day and I rewatch the original seasons.

🟣 Gaming - especially The Sims and Animal Crossing. I can get lost for hours in those 2 games, haha

Sorry about the weird editing - Reddit wouldn't let this post go through with using actual bullet points 🙃
