Do some things make you so curious you HAVE to learn about them?  

I am like this ALL the time! Not about everything, of course, but I am just curious in general and really want to *know* things, you know what I mean? My current wondering has been about a certain type of tree I started noticing recently in and around my neighborhood. It seems that once I spotted one, suddenly I was seeing this tree all over, sometimes with smaller or differently colored flowers, but I still have no idea what it is. There are times I wish I could conjure up my botany professor from college and ask him what's what --if only!

I am naturally curious as well. I think that is a trait I inherited from my mom, or it comes from an environment where we all did that. My first husband was that way as well. We like to look things up. The second thing is that we love to own books and that helps us look things up.

Yes, I always want to define things that I cannot understand or find out about something that I have not come into contact with before. Sometimes I may go out of my way to get the knowledge I am after. I think it is important to know as much as we can about the world we live in. _Derek

I have done that.

This happens to me all the time. One reason I love the internet so much. I can go online and do research on anything that I am curious about or that has come to my attention. It is great and one of my favorite things to do. It does bug me alittle ,yes and so I am glad I can jump on the internet and check it out.

Yes things do this to me all the time. My husband calls them my life tangents. I saw something I liked that was knit so I read up and taught myself to knit. I see something about a certain herb and read up and learn to use it. I am a huge history buff so anytime I see something I know not about, I am at the library or online finding reading materials and what not. I am the same with recipes and pretty much any and all hand crafts. My family all has this habit which explains why so many have various degrees in completely unrelated topics. Mine are in writing, Home economics, martial arts and herbal remedies. I am now working on an archeology degree. My Father has his in architecture, firefighting/control, Electrical mechanism, and marine biology. We are all like this. My husband's family who all are still in the same job scenes as when they just got out of school do not understand this at all. I feel sorry for them and am glad to say I have worn of on my hubby who is going to be going back to school once he chooses which of the 5 subjects he would like to learn about first.

About all i ever look up is words people use that i don't know what they mean. It's very helpful to be able to do this.

I guess that works for everybody. For me, i am a huge wrestling fan. So if i come to know of a new wrestler or a new promotion....then i start digging up info about it.

No I does not think in this way about nature.I am not curious about these things.I think it is a gift to you from God which make you think in this way.So enjoy the beauty of nature.
