No, but I am guilty of doing this whilst in a deep pool pretending to be in zero-g
Chris, I'm just going through your list and making comparisons with myself, whilst I may not be a long lost cousin of yours, I feel a lot of us are on the same wavelength. I concur with the following:
- "All I watch are space-related documentaries and movies" -
"
- "All I read are space-related books - either documentary or fiction." - For me, it's mostly docos.
- I am constantly recording anything space/astronomy related on ABC1 and ABC2.
- All I read are space-related books - mostly documentary, especially Astronaut biographies.
- My favourite movies of all time are Apollo 13 and 2001.
- When
I visit a book shop anywhere I head straight for the science section.
- My main hobby is astronomy.
- Every time I meet someone new and am invited over to their place, I silently evaluate their back yard for its potential as a viewing site.
- Most of my disposable cash goes on space and astronomy-related items.
- My trips to BinTel will one day result in a parking ticket, as I overstay my time that often, yapping on.
- A proportion of my spare time is spent in building and maintaining my own website.
- At least 80% of my Google searches are space or astronomy-related.
- Most of my bookmarks are space/astro-related.
- "I fiercely defend the reality of the moon missions, and go off my trolley at people who have nothing better to do than debate whether they were genuine or not". Agree 100%, Chris. I'll go tag-team with you against a Apollo non-believer any day.
- "
I can pull facts and figures relating to spaceflight back in 1957 out of my head faster and more reliably than I can recall what I had for dinner just last Friday." You too?? Hence why people don't come around to our place often.
- When I was young I used to draw and design spaceships and spacestations.
