What is it?
Mine would be freedom and the human condition. I care about opportunity and equity for all.

I haven't even looked at a single post here, because I'm just too weirded out. WTF, go for it lady.
Update: Sheesh, what a bunch of Victorian pantywaists. Where's the Intensity I've come to expect?
-
Can you do any better?
-
Can you do any better?
Unfortunately not. Wish I could. I've got strong interests (bagpipe music, classical music, eating, being lazy, etc.) but nothing that's an obsessive interest with me. The closest I come is that I'm almost a compulsive reader.
-
My obsessions are not strong any more as they get killed by antidepressants. But at the moment I am interested in internet memes and Star Trek, always Star Trek.
-
my obsession is the hunt
not just sex, but the whole damn dance. The beginnings of a flirtation, and reading someones eyes, and getting goosebumps when they stand close to me. The first kiss. The first fuck. 3 am text messages about absolutely nothing.
I am obsessed with ... dudes.

and math and abandoned buildings and the band The Devil Wears Prada.

No, I want pics of eris obsessing over dudes. I want to see her present her rump like a horny bonobo. :eyebrows:
-
Maybe its obsessing over why I can't meet a new person.
-
my ass is far superior to a damn dirty apes.
but
I generally dont go around showing my ass to guys (at least not at first).
I smile, and give them flirty eyes and call them cute a lot. boys love compliments. I like making them blush. if someone has pretty eyes or a nice chest, i tell them.

I have just now become obsessed with Caesar salad dressing! :drool:

Like George takeis face book page. You will get several daily feeds. He is great.

Nooo, I can't handle too much stuff on Facebook. I have 30 friends on there and that is too many. I have liked one Star Trek page though. And I do think George Takei is cool. :)

For a good year and a half now it's been collecting quality agate....particularly Mexican & Argentinian.
This is the rebirth of a love I had as a child of collecting geodes found locally & agate found during summers spent in Northern Wisconsin.

Star Trek is another one that i have, the level of my obsession with it varies but its been off/on for years and years.
I also use my boy to get vast amounts of new lego :zoinks:
-
I'm a bit of a Trekkie too, although I haven't seen it in ages.
I love Fallout:NV as well.
I don't have any obsessive interests. I suppose computer games would be the closest thing to an obsession, but I don't think it comes close to being an obsession.
I do spemd way too much time on the internet though.
-
Fixing and repairing things is my longest running interest had it basically since I was a kid the only thing that changes is what I am working on at the moment
-
I am reading the first book in this series at the moment:

OMG, GA just showed me this, a newish Star Trek game!

Here is a video about the game:
Miami Dice - Episode 23 - Star Trek Fleet Captains (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW_6qAUr7EM#ws)
-
Speaking of Trek anyone ever play Star Fleet Battles? That was an obsession of mine for awhile in college and right after. I once drove about 100 miles one way to get an expansion rule book at a hobby store
-
No, but I played a whole lot of Master of Orion.

Me too. I prefer MoO2 though. I still have it on my computer. I like the way you can make the different races live on the same planet.
I would always try and get a Psilon colonist, and then send Psilons all over the galaxy to work as my scientists.

Victoria Secret lounge clothing it's so comfy...working out clears my mind so that after workout feeling I am obsessed with...music always obsessed with music...Love the Lord with all my being more then I ever have, I'm obsessed with living life and am joyful about it...I'm excited for the possibilities the future holds...it's been a while getting here and been a while coming but I'm so glad that this out look is here, and baby it's here to stay :yarly:
-
ATM...beadboard wallpaper which I am putting up in the basement...and my neighbor gifted me with her mom's vintage Tri Star that I need to clean up and repair yet.
Yes...that's a vacuum...it's Tri Star #3 in the fleet now. :zoinks:

You had not noticed yet? She buys tons and tons of Victoria's Secret. And brings a lot of it to charity after a few months too.
Think she does work out pretty hard, btw.
One could be addicted to worse than working out and wearing Victoria's Secret, if you have the money, that is.

Plus you don't need money to workout...heck some days I just get the DVD pop that baby in and do that to avoid people :headhurts:

I line dry everything. And the delicate stuff gets hand washed.
Working out, thank goodness, it can completely be done without a gym.
Lingerie is expensive enough without it being a brand, for me. It has to be bought for three here.
On bra wash day, it looks like there is half a shop hanging to drip dry outside.
:bra: :bra: :bra: :bra: :bra: :bra: :bra: :bra: :bra: :bra: :bra: :bra:
It's great if you found a brand that suits you. And, you have found a brand that will probably exist for a few decades too. Makes buying more easy, I guess.

At the time I was only joking. I hadn't checked his other posts. I thought we were dealing with a regular geography nut, like "Vientiane - capital of Laos! Black yellow and red, with a stork - flag of Uganda! :nerdy: "
-
It's OK, though. A spazz is a spazz is a spazz, by any other name.
-
Currently I have returned to a longterm interest in serial killers, but more the area of criminal profiling and forensics now.
Last year, I was heavily into fitness, specially boxing classes and training and got my bodyfat down very low. I have sort of fallen off the wagon, so to speak, but really want to get back into the boxing.
-
Well I guess going to the gym is pretty important to me. I used to think I would get suicidal if I got overweight, yet here I am 30kgs heavier and I am dealing with it. I am not happy, of course, but it isn't earth shatteringly bad. I am just trying to stay active. I think my antidepressants have a hand in not letting this become too much for me to handle.
-
Did not have any energy left for obsessive interests for years. Survival mode only. But, last year I started spinning, did not have a nice chair to do it inside, so it stopped a bit in winter. The wheel is luring me though. I find it very calming and mesmerising.
And, last week I got intrigued by socks. By the construction of socks, by how many ways there are to knit toes and heels. So, I fear I am having a sock obsession now. Wearing my first ever knitted housesocks, and a second pair, for my daughter, is in the making. Will use a somewhat different construction for that pair. And, am adding roman ribs to it. Apparently that is a very elastic pattern, and my daughter likes her Latin, so it seemed appropriate.
It is nice to realise I have again some energy left to flee into obsessions. :hyke:

Yeah, same here... I have an immense fear of losing control of my weight. I am certainly heavier than I have been in a long time, and hope to get back on track. I have issues with binge eating and bulimia so that is why. I am not overweight, however, just a higher BMI than I am comfortable with. I was 130Ibs at 5'10 last year and am now more like 145.

I can definitely understand the fear of losing control. I have never had an eating disorder but do fear my weight getting any higher than it is. I weighed 55kgs since I was 17 and ate what I wanted. Which probably wasn't much. But then I had my medication changed and the weight piled on, 30kgs in a year. I looked in the mirror one day and came to the conclusion that I was fat. I had to buy new clothes that fit me. New bras too.
Last year I started going to the gym, then I changed gyms to one that is closer to me. I do a weights class and cardio in my own time. My BMI shows that I am obese!

Well I guess going to the gym is pretty important to me. I used to think I would get suicidal if I got overweight, yet here I am 30kgs heavier and I am dealing with it. I am not happy, of course, but it isn't earth shatteringly bad. I am just trying to stay active. I think my antidepressants have a hand in not letting this become too much for me to handle.
Yeah, same here... I have an immense fear of losing control of my weight. I am certainly heavier than I have been in a long time, and hope to get back on track.

I was on a site called myfitnesspal for several years, where you can log your food daily, and it works it all out for you. Lot of very useful info on the forums there too. They are very into the balanced approach where you don't go to extremes. My best results came from a combination of cycling, boxing fitness and weights. I also did running sometimes and circuits. I really did have it as a special interest, I believe, as I read loads about nutrition and fitness during those years and my bodyfat was down at 12% which is very low for a female.
I also kept to a diet of basically fish, chicken, sweet potatoes, fruits, nuts, vegetables, eggs, dark chocolate, cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt and such things. But it was quite hard to sustain that level of activity. I was doing about 90 minutes, 5 times a week at least.
I am sure you can get the weight off if you want to.

I wish I could run. The woman who did my appraisal at the gym asked if I would run on the treadmill but I said I would need to hold on to my chest as I did so. I am 14F! So I just walk as fast as I can on there.
I haven't been obsessed with food at all, I don't really think about it. Though I tried a milkshake diet which was expensive and left me feeling hungry all the time. So it didn't last long.
Anyway, I think I have lost a tiny bit of weight as some pants are feeling loose.

I find running incredibly difficult. The most I managed was 80 minutes, broken up with a stop in a cafe. I also did my first and probably only 5k last Summer. But because I have mild emphysema it will always be more challenging for me to run. Cycling takes some of that strain off.
-
I have asthma but that is nowhere near as bad as emphysema. Just have to take puffers every day. I think you are right, cycling is easier.

Telescopes and astronomy, lately.

City architecture and traffic patterns.

City architecture and traffic patterns.
Seriously?
I've never seen that reflected in your artwork. (Would be interested to see that.)

It's recent, due to living in a big city for the first time and learning how the public transportation works. I'm having the unrelenting urge to play SimCity and seeing all these things I could do to improve the planning of the transportation in the network of cities I built last time I was on a SimCity binge. I can't because my computer hasn't been moved to the new place yet. :'(
I didn't used to pay much attention to the traffic flow, but the latest SimCity keeps track of all the pedestrians wandering around and maps them for you to use in planning. I have a tourist city going where all the hotels started along the main street at the side of the map, but the convention center and Shakespearean theater are on the other side. Every night people regularly walk from one end of the city to the other in the middle of the night, maybe a dozen blocks, and it's funny to see the big crowd going when the show lets out. Maybe it reflects their algorithms better than what would happen in real life, but it's still interesting. I installed a streetcar but most people don't take it and I think the route is slightly awkward. I could try putting in a subway.
But I've always loved architecture, especially modern residential architecture. I guess you've never seen all the house plans I used to design in class and then map out onto graph paper.

Van dwelling/rv living.
Photography of abandoned places/things...(a long time obsession, that has consumed a lot of hours :LOL:).

There's a lot of good stuff out there; easy to get lost in looking at it.

^Your interest is ships, a certain sort?
Starting to get interested in Excel and what can be done with it. Enjoyed learning about sparklines, for instance.

I like WW II destroyers They don't get much attention because they weren't big and glamorous like the battleships and carriers but they were workhorses that did the majority of fighting and naval work.
They were used as: escorts, scouts, radar picket, shore bombardment, anti-submarine, anti-aircraft, mine sweeper, mine layer, torpedo boat and they even did cargo/personnel transport.
The top one pictured is a French Mogador class that was the heaviest gunned destroyer of WW II with 8 140mm guns.
The bottom one is a French Le Fantasque class. It was the fastest destroyer of all time with a trial speed of 45kts. (52mph)

Dolby processors like this one.

That looks expensive. :orly:

It's not, these days. Mine cost me about $400, all in all. The problem is that these particular processors are very, very difficult to find, especially if complete with all of the modules. I was lucky and bought mine from an eBay seller that didn't know what it was and had mislabeled the auction.
-
I've spent silly money on modular synthesizer equipment over the last few years, but it's actually made me less productive.

As always, I'm interested in the weather. It seems like we're having a quick transition from summer to winter this year.

Jack has been obsessed with herself. How meta of me.

Worryingly, I've had no real obsessions lately. :-\
