Usually I don't clean the house but today for some odd reason I ran around the house cleaning. :-) One of my latest obsessions is finances. I write down what I have to buy/pay (Birthdays,Father's Day and I can't forget MGS4 and Ninja Gaiden 2.) :-) I looked and I wrote a list on the 6th and I rewrote on today and it is the 10th. :-( Does anyone else tend to do this? I also tend to take things one thing at a time. (Example I was doing my finances and the phone kept ringing so I finally picked it up and then told my mom about the phone call and then she had me go get her shirt from outside and I had to rethink for a minute.)
:-( (She asked if I was stupid.) :-(

I also do things one thing at a time. Such as when I eat, I eat one thing, and then move onto the other (I find this to make me a very fast eater too)
I am so obsessed with computers that everything I can relate to computers. Such as when I am in the middle of algebra class, I think of a problem, and my mind suddenly starts to go into code mode and makes that equation into a full-blown script in my head.

I am also obsessed with Photoshop, I look at something and my mind starts going over filters and all that good stuff to see if I can recreate it in Photoshop.
I love numbers. I like them because they are easy to comprehend. I like math because it is completely predictable, and an equation will always have an answer.

I'm highly obsessed with cinema and doing every small motion 4 times.
I have to look at a persons eyes, nose, and mouth every time I look at someone.
It actually gets to the point that it's debilitating, and I can't concentrate on anything else.

Obsessions...hmm. Egyptology (specifically Akhenaten/Nefertiti/Tutankhamun) everything I read for about six months was about Egypt; Renaissance Art; Gaming (D&D/NWN/Icewind Dale I&II); Astronomy/Astrophysics (when the first Martian rover finished its mission I did a paper on it in 7th grade and got really into it). Those are a few of my most current ones. Oh, and I like anything to do with cats.

I'm obsessed with model cars, yet I never finish any. I've got over 600 kits. Lets add model kits in general, as I also have hundreds of train, plane, and other models.

I'm obsessed with Catalan history.

European history in general
