Anyone ever have an obsession that is at least a few days and then you get tired of it?

hmmn..

Mine tend to last months/years..

However things like games/shows/people can last days sometimes.

Edit:

Whoops nearly hijacked the thread, sorry.

When I was a little girl, I saw a movie about ninja kids, and I had a short "Ninja-phase"

Years ago I had a "Knight-phase" for a week :)

All the time.
Usually after i've seen something that impresses me a lot, like a good movie or book.

my obsessions usually last at least a few months. Some are lifelong!

Sometimes they only last about a day. Other times they'll last for three years. They typically average out to about six months though.

Yep, me too, but I'd say closer to a week that a few days.
