I'm between obsessions at the moment, but I'm beginning to be more and more interested in computer programming and a video game. Very soon, one of these will become my next obsession, but I'm unsure which one it will be, and when it'll manifest. I know it's coming soon though.

Oh...then certainly I'm not in the upper echelons of it!

Champagne tastes (I'll settle for ChamPALE)...BEER BUDGET!

Oh well, at least I'm PARTLY over the obsession and can get on with more important things like WrongPlanet! :wink:

Physics, a theory (not a scientific theory, but I hope it to one day) on what happened "pre-Big Bang," and medicine.

Traditional double-edge razor shaving, with soap and brush. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a significant portion of such shavers who are Aspies. It's very easy to get caught up in comparing various razors, blades, brushes, soaps, aftershaves, improving one's technique, it's naturally routine and ritual-oriented and then of course the many sensate aspects. I had a three-pass (with the grain, accross the grain, against the grain) shave this morning and will be baby-smooth for the rest of the day.

How our human filters affect the way we think, and how we see the world.

Consider: People make faces out of everything. When you see a car, you see the eyes and mouth. Even if you look at a wall with a random dots, a face will be seen. What other "filters" are we looking through? And what would the world look like if we weren't looking through them.

Funny that in this search I discovered Asperger's, who's symptoms I matched exactly. I found out recently I was diagnosed with it in my childhood.

Latin, Classical Literature, and Roman Writers in general (like tacitus :oops: )

Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge. It probably won't last very long, but it's nice to go back in time and play the older C&C games. Ah, the nostalgia.

My fiancee is obsessed with My Little Pony, even in the bedroom.

I think I'll need to get a tail.
