Meme of 7 Interests
I got this from erl_queen. How it works: Just comment on this post saying you'd like to play. Then I will choose seven interests from your profile, and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post these instructions along with your answers in your own LiveJournal so that others can play along, too.
1. anime music
I'm a big manga fan, which naturally extends in to anime fandom and thus to anime music.
2. black holes
"A black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing can escape after having fallen past the event horizon. The name comes from the fact that even electromagnetic radiation (e.g. light) is unable to escape, rendering the interior invisible."
These things fascinate me to no end, especially the supermassive ones. I'm not exactly sure why, but here is a fun website where you can virtually explore Black Holes and even drop yourself in to one to see what would happen:

3. buffy/spike
I'm a hopeless romantic. The story of a soul-less vampire falling in love with a vampire slayer and choosing to become a good guy, elevating himself above the demon and winning back his soul, is so very romantic to me. And Spike is made of win anyway.

4. fortune telling
This is actually an outdated interest. About six years ago I was very interested in divination, any and every type of divination. These days I still have my three tarot decks and a set of runes, but I almost exclusively use the Limyran Oracle. I never got the hang of tarot cards and for whatever reason the Runes never worked nearly as well for me as the Limyran does.
5. gothic beauty
Gothic Beauty is a Goth fashion magazine. I love to look at Gothic fashion designs, especially the "romantic goth" look. I buy an issue every now and then, and I actively look at clothing online on a semi-regular basis. I am completely enraptured by the clothing but I don't listen to Gothic music really unless you count visual kei. So out of respect for the people who are in to the entire subculture and not just the pretty clothes I only indulge in playing Gothic dress up on Halloween sometimes.

6. moon
I've always felt somewhat drawn to the moon. Sometimes I like to just sit and stare at it for long periods of time. When I first started out in Paganism, particularly Wicca, I always called upon the Goddess as the moon Goddess Selene. Selene still holds a special place in my heart and I credit her as the one who led me to my now husband.
7. salvador dali
One of my favorite artists. I see something new every time I look at one of his works. The exploding clock and the floating rose are two of my favorite works of his. Recently I found a page full of his Greek myth & culture inspired works: http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Arts/Dali.htm
