Thinking back to my early life, I had a years long #SpecialInterest in #EdgarAllenPoe and, decades later, I finally realize why adults were always so caught off guard with me, as I was a second grader, roughly age 7 at the beginning, talking incessantly about very goth classic literature and poetry and that is so much funnier now

Well that tells me I was slipping into burnout and depression. I took a week off from practicing the clarinet. But I just did today's practice and am feeling much better.

@rabia_elizabeth @autistics I guess this explains my ongoing identity crisis, since I live alone, and mentally can’t seem to develop #specialinterest level enjoyment out of anything anymore

Today is International Children's Book Day, World Autism Acceptance Day, and the birthday of my current Special Interest protagonist, Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875).

Duolingo is impressed in a fully automated way that I reached a 35-day streak on a new language earlier than most users.

Never underestimate the focus of a #SpecialInterest...to be outdone only by the speed at which I (probably) disappoint the app when I shift to another interest.

Since no one I know irl follows me here I can share this finished hat before I give it to my dad this weekend. I used the Sigges Hat(adult version) pattern by Kultknit (f you've been following me for a bit, you might remember that I used her original pattern, Sigges Hat, for my toddler).

I met guage and knit with Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt in Smoke held together with DROPS Kidsilk in Sea Mist.

I tried out helical knitting to break up the mohair colourway I used and I wouldn't necessarily recommend that for this pattern because it made the decreases a bit confusing, but I'm really happy with the end result, so it was worth it for me.

Whoa. It came up in conversation yesterday how much experience I have being a #college #student...

Counting by calendar years where I was enrolled at least half time (most of it was full-time) for half the year (most of it was the full academic year including summers)... I have *eleven* (11) *years* of college experience... and no degree yet!

But, if everything that's still up in the air lands right, I will have my #associates for transfer in #ComputerScience at the conclusion of this semester! (And, I think worst case scenario would be having it at the end of this summer semester.)

That's not even including the non-college #classes I have taken, like the #CreativeNonFiction writing class I took through the art museum in the last city I lived in, the #NonviolentCommunication course, guitar lessons through the library...

Can #learning be a #SpecialInterest in and of itself?
