What's your obsession?

Post Reply New Topic

Mithology and deamonology.
Secret cults and sects.
I watch a movie every day.
Probaly my pc is an obssesion to.
Literature, definetly.
There was a time where all I did was watch scrubs, non stop. Glad I stoped doing it.
I always keep a pen with me and frequently rotate it trough my fingers...

I think this is it.

my obsession is solitude, and at the moment filling it up with online discussions on multiple webfora.

never had any other obsession. well besides philosopihizing from the pile of dirty clothes in my slightly reaking room.

ngeh? i'd always thought my 'obsessions' were just me wanting to squeeze as much work/info into the smallest timeframe possible!

i call it 'efficiency' :-/

as a kid
- lego, but i really hated the yellow ones. and they taste nice. try chewing one honest!
- making outfits for my barbies. they seldom interacted with each other. i always used them as models for my fashion lineup. if a pair of shoes were missing i'd get upset and stop playing. worse if one side of a pair went missing
- making curvy patterns from multiple straight lines. would spend hours during lessons using up my graph and letter pad papers
- stamps, stickers, shells
- counting cars in the carpark while sitting by the window/off the ledge of my 24th storey flat
- death and how i would die. constantly wrote and re-wrote my will

as an adult
- knitting, beading, tatting, crocheting. they can't be freeform, i've tried and wound up unpicking/unravelling and re-doing the project if even ONE stitch/bead were out of place. or abandoned if i get really upset about it. mild form of OCD my friends call it. control freak says others. a ferpectionist says me

- Spoonerisms!

- baking. i'd bake cookies/cakes/pies into the wee hours of the morning and have to give away the cookies to anyone who'd eat them cos i'd overbake for no reason except i felt compelled to

- ailments. have been sickly since i was a kid, now i refer to dr google (i know i shouldn't but.....it's too convenient!) to comfort/scare myself. those inserts that come with my medications are a fave read. i admit to being a mild hypochondriac, but i believe my cynicism offsets it and keeps me marginally sane if i don't go check them out i'll be a freaking mess hiding in my room thinking i'd be dead in two days. i spend the two days on dr google reassuring myself that i don't have all the symptoms and it could really, just, be a cold.

- psychology, e.g. dyslexia (brother and bf suffer from it), BPD, bipolarism, schizophrenia (strong family history), depression, ADD, now AS.

- programming. i often dream of algorithms and wake up rushing to the computer to work on any current project. i did my final year project in 36 hrs straight and lost 3 kgs that week. i still dream in code, nightmares involve iterative loops.

- anime and tv series marathons i.e. Naruto, Azumanga Dai-oh, Samurai Champloo, Scrubs (nods at Philostrate), CSI. I just HAVE to watch them non-stop or i don't start at all.

- computer games, console games

- whether i fit in socially. then after beating myself up over some social boo-boo, i just don't bother


all my life
- checklists, categorizing and sub-classifying objects (duh!)
- revealing too much info! :X
- sex. discovered dad's porn stash and learnt how good my secret button felt at 7, first orgasm at 12 and semi-obsessed nymphomaniac-in-denial ever since

Starr - "I'm not sure of the difference between an interest and an obsession."

totally agreed. my obsessions rotate and have seasons too.
somebody stop me already my list is too long even by my standards!

1. Samurais of course, and other things about japanese culture.

2. Weapons (guns and swords), specially katanas.

3. Asperger Syndrome. Once I discover I'm aspie, I decided to collect information about this.

And there was my main obsessions.

If by obsessions you mean those of my interests that I fear that I bug my friends with more than I should:

Azumanga Daioh.
Mandarin chinese and anything about east asia and China in particular.
Survivalism and outdoor sports.
Utilitarianism.
Conspiracy theories.
Absurd Minds.

Since last week's trip to Victoria has put things in perspective for me, my Hippie Obsession has faded into the Sunset and my Routemaster Obsession has gotten slightly stronger than it has been. In fact, I've just joined Flikr for free, so that I could type in my own comments about Routemasters and how some of their Personalities show in the pictures, amongst other things. I have a very silly Username, as well. It's not the same one that I use, here.

my thing if thats what you call it it the correct usage of the language,
i will interupt any one if they do not speak correctly
i write to newspapers and magazines if i find a spelling mistake or grammatically incorrect syntax,,,,,
ive always done this as long as i can remember, i could read at age 3 and am pedantic about it.

i do get into some strife and cause ppl much embarrasment, still i cannot help it,

my other thing is genral knowledge, if some one talks about something i know something about i and they call me the walking talking encyclopedia

aahh s**t, it could be a lot worse hey?

Hmm, did I really post that about Sainsbury's above? I can't believe it! I've got my interest in Sainsbury's back and have recovered.

In addition I'm interested in the locations of the other supermarket, as well as some other store chains and banks - and the patterns and demographics of those store locations.

Another shop chain that's just started to catch my interest is Claire's Accessories. A store where I'm extremely unlikely to shop, or have a reason to shop, but today I at least visited the locations of all 5 Claire's stores in my area.

I'm obsessed with order, organization, and efficiency. All my RPG characters are always Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral, or Lawful Evil.

Auto Racing (Formula one, Indy Racing Leauge, Champ Car) Computer Games (Racing Simulatiors), Kart racing (I am a class champion!), and cars.

God, this thread topic simply SCREAMS at me to answer in the most juciest of mannerisms... =D

From ages 3 to 9, Sonic the Hedgehog was my LIFE. I could beat any Sonic game with a massive score in only a little over an hour, I had Sonic dolls, toys, I made new Sonic games on paper, made instruction manuals out of paper to go with 'em, I had a VHS tape of 6 hours straight of the slapstick cartoon show (that's not on anymore)... And Sonic was what alienated me from everyone my age at school, for example.

When I was 9, my little brother and I were fighting in the car, and he took my Sonic doll from me and dropped it in the public mailbox. Mom says that ever since that moment, I never cared about Sonic again. It died for me then.

But that's a little inaccurate! My zealous obsession might've died, but a few years later I got back into it, not as an obsession, but as a pastime and respected hobby. I still play the old-school, Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog games to this day, on my Sega Genesis that I've had since I was four, and always look to improve my high-scores or challenge others at Sonic 2 Versus Mode. =D

Right now, writing is my big perseveration. My website will tell you the same.

God, I'm glad I saw this thread here. ^,^

My main obsession is being an artist. That's wht I have been obsessed with. It's my God-given talent (knock on wood) and what I used to be obsessed with.

Usually, I concentrate over a revolving series of things. It's always one thing but eventually i get bored with it and slowly go on to something else. And I never wake up one day and say "Today it's going to be Asparagus." I just find myself one day desperately fixated on one thing with no real idea when I first fell in love with it and when I abandoned the previous thing I had fixated over. I just kind of wake up in the middle of something, so to speak, and think to myself "I love video game graphic creation all of a sudden? How long ago did this happen..."

If there's one thing i have always been fixated on, it's simply how things are made. This is what I have had a life-long passion for. To learn how things are simply made and put together. And i can't stop that desire. I get a real kick of knowing how everything is built and made. I have this absolutely unquenchable thrist for knowledge.

I'm also quite passionate about the Final Fantasy rpg series. I have been playing those games since they were released to the U.S. in 1990. And now I'm a die-hard fan. The games are extremely well made so I don't know what's the fixation and what's devoted fan-boyness.
