What are your fixations/obsessions?

Post Reply New Topic

My fixations/obsessions are:


buses-public transit
gameshows-family feud and win ben steins money
time-not so much anymore, but in preschool at the YMCA they had to turn the clocks facing the wall because i would say something like
its 12:00 its time for lunch
and Roman Catholicism

Radio (FM, AM, SW, LW, stations, airchecking, DXing, everything)
South Park (TV Show)
Computers


Radio pretty much tops it.

I do radio for a living. check out www.sunny999fm.com

Harry Potter, the internet, and anime.

Collecting books and movies is a constant interest of mine that doesn't wane. Garfield and collecting the comic books is reviving atm. Poetry and psychology sort of cycle. Calendars and anthropology are aside interests in that I read a bit about them but don't over-focus on them. Frank Sinatra was my big thing when I was 10-12. My cats interest preceded Frank and lasted for about a year and a half. Clocks I just need around me. Serial killers and the psychology of them lasted for about two years. And I was obsessed with studying and producing art in high school. It was my solace.

I used to read books on the digestive system and lower GI issues
constipation, diarrhea and such

My main obsession is tuberculosis. I think about it almost all the time. I also like anime, video games, Japanese history, and dragons.

My obsessions vary wildly with time...... At the moment I'm locked into an obsessive CD collecting phase (sparked by HMV's recent "4 for £20 - replace all your old LPs that you don't really want to listen to anymore anyway, you sucker" offer, damn them ), and a guitar effect pedal collecting phase (I've spent about a grand and a half on a bunch of new ones in the last month or so..... Mainly "boutique" stuff too - none of the usual cheap "Boss" stuff)

My absolute biggest interest is radioastronomy. It has been like this since I was four years old.
Right now, my other obsessions include :
- learning swedish
- statistics
- watching making-of
- time
- meteorology statistics

You can see a list of my past interests on my website. Click on Interests in the menu page.

I am interested in loads of things ranging from HR Giger, death metal, history, Japanese art, Communism, Anarchism, Fascism*, guns etc.

*As in the stupidity of it and the very minor ways in which it helped people.

My fixations are:

The X-men ( I don't know anyone else who can accurately follow the entire Summers Family Tree (fellow X-geeks will get that))

ASDs (I have now officially read every book my public library has on the topic)

Books (Particularly ones with Dragons and Vampires, though not necessarily at the same time.)

Harry Potter

I would say:

-Any land-use planning and development related issues;
-Roads, railroads and other surface transportation issues;
-Maps and other geographic things in general;
-Driving roadtrips (I love just going out and exploring. "Let's go exploring!" Calvin Calvin and Hobbs);
-Current and historical government, political and economic affairs;
-Reading newspapers;
-News/talk radio discussions;
-http://www.wheresgeorge.com (kindof related to #3 above);
-NTN trivia (played in many bars/restaurants throughout the USA and Canada);
-Newspaper comic strips, especially Prince Valiant (I have the complete run of the strip in one form or another from it's start in Feb, 1937 to the present, all 3559 pages as of last Sunday), Peanuts, Garfield, Beatle Bailey, Calvin and Hobbs, Bloom County, Doonesbury, Pooch Café and Mallard Fillmore;
-Cleaning up the files in my .mp3 collection;
-Tall buildings

I don't really get obsessed that often, so here I go:

That's all the obsessions I have right now.
