My current obsession is with Prehistoric life. I'm reading the Complete Guide to Prehistoric Life. It's a very interesting book.

I've been obsessed with a certain word for a few days now, however ridiculous this may sound. it just seems to exist in so many languages and yet have a different meaning in each and I just can't trace the root of it. when I finally do I'll probably feel an urge to write an essay about it, if I don't get discouraged in the process.

I'm currently obsessed with mental and psychological disorders. I'm even trying to find disorders in fictional characters from what I've read... :lol:

Build your own scope as you will get a far bigger and more powerful unit for the same amount of money as buying a small one.

I'm a bit embarassed to admit it, but lately I'm completely hooked on Metalopocalypse fan fiction. I've even started writing it myself.
WHY, I have no idea, it just snuck in there somehow.
