Marine biology, especially fish, even more so sharks.
Occasionally video games. I'll pick up a game and play it almost non-stop for months, then stop playing.
Always reading.
If It can be called one, learning, about almost everything.
I'm sure I'll have one with computers in a few months, when I start my programing course at school.
I also have a bit of one with calculators and programing.

Gotta have that kickass Rock N' Roll music!! !

no man, I just added to my thrill of rock music

Last night I was thinking about obsessions that I'd had and I realized that I once had an obsession with the Pert Plus bottle when I was about 11 years old. I memorized the blurb on the back and the instructions. I'd call the help line on the back of the bottle to hear the automated answering service. How weird is that?

I seem to be somewhat unusual in that I have one major obsession that never changes and that I have had at least as long as I have been able to crawl. That would be dogs--anything about them, from training to breed history to grooming to nutrition to canine sports. My knowledge of them has reached the point where anyone foolish enough to mention them almost always gets swamped with information.

I also have several lesser obsessions. At the moment, these are evolutionary biology, grammar, mythology, sociology, linguistics, etymology, and Latin. In the past, they have been horses, wolves, Beanie Babies, skin diseases, abcesses, mental disorders, AS, anime, and Harry Potter.

this thread is just stereotyping to me

U2
Paul Hewson
Jordan Hewson
Eve Hewson
The Edge
Adam
Larry
"Pride(in the name of love)"
"White Oleander"
"The curious incident of a dog in the night-time"
Autism
Aspergers syndrome
The planet Saturn
Asteroid B612
Desert islands
Deserts
Sky
Stars
Telescopes

Obessions? way to many to list here are just a Few.

When I was a Kid

Silk anything like satin or silk.
HeMan (was 4)
Spining(4-i still like to spin)
Dinosaurs(6-10)
Legos (extreme major obsession my parents had to of spent over a thousand dollars on them)

Teenage years

Planes (still obsessed)
T.V. Show Highlander and swords(this din't last long)
Hockey ( took three sprains and breaks to realize that I should stick to watching)
Star Trek TNG DS9 and voyager.
Internet and computers (15-now)

Adult ( I still feel like I am 18 even though I am 25)
Women ( I am a guy its normal)
Cars ( will always know the new models)
Stargate
Acient Civilizations
Watches but I don't induldge
Head rubs but I have to trust you

Personaly I don't think its a stereotyping thread it makes me feel better to know I am not alone in my obsessions.

When I was a kid it was astronomy, Star Trek, the history of the Civil War, and natural disasters and end-of-the-world scenarios (nuclear war, asteroid impacts, etc.). Now it's religions, especially ancient religions and medieval Christian heresies. I also tend to have science fiction author obsessions- I go through phases where I read nothing but a particular author for weeks, often until I've read everything they've written and looked up everything I can about the author himself. Right now it's Stephen Baxter.

stuckinthedesert, you reminded me of some other things.
Anything that will help me write even if it is a short obession, I'll still remember it later.
I occasionally dabble in religion or medicine.
Weapons is one that I come back to alot.
