So what is it? Art, Music, Film, Food, Animals etc.

For me it would be music followed by good TV shows. Recently I have started going to the roots of music and finding interesting music that many people won't have heard of. I want to expand my tastes.

So what is your passion and how does it affect you?

Food. Internet. Books. Laziness. Preferably all rolled into one. If only I could live my life entirely by lounging around in my bed, laptop on my belly, book in one hand, delicious junk food in the other.. but no, I get out, I study, I exercise, I buy and cook healthy food, I meet friends - stupid, really.

Fistr and for most, my passion is teh lurve.

After that, it goes music, knowledge and then alcohol. I like to drink fairly high quiality poison, which is what I'm sfucked up on right now.

Writing and reading followed by other artsy shit. If alcohol can be on that list, then I include weed (it comes in many varieties; Northern Lights FTW).

I'm a logic tamer. I play with logic, study it, teach it and use it to learn more about myself, then make it jump through hoops for a living. I guess that's my passion, really, in all of the various forms it's expressed.

I'd have to say films. They've always been something I care about but they've now become such a massive part of my life - I can't imagine too many jobs where you can talk about a product all day at work and then sit down at home and read reviews just for the hell of it.

Oh? I think you have another passion that you're too embarrassed to say.

My Japanese is rustic still. Would you be so kind as to translate this, Galloism-senpai?

The poll lacks an "all of the above" option.

(As well as an "accountancy" option. :))

Where's the sport option?

My passion is skydiving and it affects me by constantly draining every penny I have and taking up all of my weekends. On the bright side it's more than worth it

my passion is food, and trying to make money. and my gf. those are what i think about 99% of my waking life

Number one is fighting for my people, and my community, and maintaining our traditions, as well as passing them on to my children.

Second would be music...but for personal enjoyment, not for anything further. I absolutely love reading as well. I'd take a book over pretty much any other form of entertainment, anytime.

Tied in with all of the above is education.

And fuck can I ever not stand the idiotic slowness of jolt lately.

Listening to alternative music nobody else has heard of, failing miserably at acting, and writing emotional poetry.



Damn, I'm a sad person.

Well I'm very interested in fashion, but if the question is "what is my passion", I can't possibly choose fashion over film, music and art.

Haha, there should be a technology option, but again, I couldn't choose that as my absolute passion.

I think it's really embarrasing that people would consider alcohol their passion (except, perhaps if they're utterly fascinated by fine wine). Don't you have anything better to do in life?

Well, really my passion is games. But that's not an option... unless it comes into the Art/Literature section.

creating, exploring, and the kind of world i'd rather be living in.

art was about the only thing on the poll that came close, although i do read a lot.

environment and making tecnology harmonious with it.
not robbing ALL the little furry creatures of ANY place to live.

and then i could go into finer detail, but it all comes back to creating and exploring being what gratifies and the kind of world we all have to live in being what's important.

i'm especially fascinated with, and gratified by, using tecnology to be creative with.

environment is the basis of life, so its the foundation of everything.
then civil rights of course is a way of saying what everyone needs to be protected from the excessess of hierarchy and abuse of power by those in power, reguardless of what form that power structure might superfiscially or in reality take.

but really there is so much we could all be enjoying so much if we didn't put so much nonsense ahead of the avoidance of destroying in.

so called gains and persuit of so called gains that end up really gratifying nothing, but that people keep conning themselves and each other into anyway. partially because the've become used to doing so, and partially because they still imagine somehow, that if someone else looks like they might be getting something out of it, they somehow can or will too.

which is of course all just a big con and the whole planet and nearly everyone on it is suffering because of this, even those who aren't awaire of how much they really are screwing themselves out of.

but anyway that's the negative side the obssessess me with being both so widespread, or seeming to be, and just how much people are willing to accept of what they claim to see as repulsive to them, all on this off chaince of somehow bennifiting in ways that really are no bennifit and gratify nothing.

but to get back to the positive side, you know, little tiney fiddly bits, moving under their own power and making and using and being creative with that kind of thing, that's what i really love, and making, or at least dreaming up ways, that everyone can find and enjoy this kind of gratification without screwing everything else up, including the basis of all life including their own.

plus other life forms are kind of neat when they make friends with you to.
