obsess much?

[morgana]

<font color="lime">if so, over what?

i have a "thing" for ankhs. don't know exactly why, but i've been collecting them for years. i also collect boxes and stationary items, but i wouldn't go so far as to say that i've ripped them out of someone's hands and ran (as i have done for an ankh).


you?</font>

I obsess over clean dishes, potatoes, and my boyfriend, but he obsesses over me too so we reckon that it musn't be unhealthy.

I'm obsessive-compulsive...I obsess over everything. :)

But my strongest obsessions have to do with music, flavored lipglosses (I have over 200 of them), clothing/boots, and those silly antenna balls you put on your car. I was mad for a week when someone stole the pineapple with sunglasses I had on my antenna.

[Billyman]

duh

I don't think I actually obsess about anything. hmmm

[MAC]

I don't obsess

I just like certain things certain ways.

and I can't walk past them without changing them to reflect my preferences and perspective about order in the universe.....

HOW IS THAT OBSESSION???

That is a lot of lipgloss. I have been looking for a new one. I like mint/chocolate or berry, but not too strong, flavoured ones. Do you recommend any?

Does obsessing about being unpredictable count?

Other than that- just the obsession of the erradication of all stoopid peoples in the world. :D

AKA- I ain't got a freaking clue.

Do you mean obsessed as in anal about things, or obsessed as in see something, gotta have it?

I'm anal about many things. My towel in the bathroom. If you have to move it for whatever reason, fine. But by all means, HANG IT UP! Don't ever ever leave my towel on the floor. It's bad enough if you leave your towel on it.
I'm anal about how the dishwasher is loaded. There's a certain place for plates, bowls, and damnit, the glasses go on the TOP rack!
There's a certain order in which you do laundry. Jeans, delicates, colors, whites, socks. In no other order does it work.
At work it's the worst. Don't put things in the wrong place. I do alot of sorting mail, and if someone puts something in the wrong pile, I have to controle the sudden erge to lash out at them with the "what the hell is wrong with you? Can't you see the stamped mail goes over there?!" And just because you told a customer they could have a year's worth of statments by this afternoon, doesn't mean I can get it done in that amount of time. Don't ever promise someone something without checking with me first!

As for things I've just gotta have...nope. Usually pretty good at that. Untill it comes to boots....must buy the boots!

hmmmm.....

things I obsess about.... the number one thing i'm obsessed about... Death! I have buried too many people that are close to me, therefore I am constantly wondering "who next" to the point where my mother, i would make her call me as soon as she got somewhere if she went out of town.. or if someone takes my son somewhere... i freak out of they aren't back when they are supposed to be... or just whatever when someone I care a great deal about isn't where I can get at them whenever I need to.. it bugs me... After Michele died.... i was almost nuts to the point I didn't want to let anyone out of my sight... it made me one very ill individual... 3 years later, it helped develop into a panic disorder.. and a year and a half , somepaxil, and alot of sedatives later.. i am the well rounded person you see today! So yeah I'd have to say that's my major obsession... I don't want to go through another death of someone so close.. i don'tknow if i would survive.. and it scares me...

as for material things... hmmm..... i am obsessed that my son doesn't have as many material things as I'd like for him to have. and sometimes I will spend money that I know I don't have just to make sure that he has "those things". I'm obsessed that I'm not doing a good enough job as a single parent.

As for Collectibles... I love fairies. Crystal fairies.. glass , ceramic.. whatever... i had a nice collection one time, but pawned them to pay for a medical procedure for a close friend. so it was for good cause at the time... now that she and I are no longer really friends... i miss my fairies.. lol.. but it was a great help to her.

I could go on and on.... lol

Hmm.

I've got a large collection of Beanie Babies that I'm rather disgusted with. I can't believe I spend so much money on 'em. So everything time I think about collecting something I remember that.

I've started bringing my CD player everywhere with me, and having my headphone either on me or around my neck has become a sort of great comforter. I get nervous without my headphones now, to the point where I'll show my teacher how they're not plugged into anything and request that they let me leave them on.

My bracelets and necklace. Three on the left arm, two on the right. Nothing beaded, 'cause they hurt when you wack your wrist on something. I've had a necklace on since indoor soccer ended... (err... early spring?) and think I look weird without one as a result. Now it's a thin hemp one... no beads.

My barefootedness. I take my shoes off when the bell rings and walk home barefoot, and do not put them back on until 7:40 the following morning. (I've been to restaurants barefoot... they usually don't notice. I just bring flipflops in case.)

I obsess over my privacy. People do NOT go through my stuff for any reason. Recently, (while going through my dad's stuff), my sister found a poem of mine that my dad apparently found in my room, copied, and kept. GRRR. Completely infuriates me. It was nothing too personal, but it was MINE. For ME. Not for them.

Oooh-- my sweatshirt. If you check the cams frequently you've probably seen me in it. It's a dark blue hoodie with a little graphic and the word "CLIMBER" across the front, and has "halcyon" embroidered across the side of the hood. A friend gave it to me, and it was a great replacement for my last sweatshirt (just plain dark blue) that I had lost.

There's probably more, but study hall is over. So that's it.

What do I obsess about? Not much, really. The only real obsession I have is the printed word. If you see me, I either have a book in hand, under my arm, or very close by. Hell, I've been known to read while driving (very stupid, I know), or walking somewhere.

[MuffyTheVampyreLayer]

I obsess over Simon, I WILL have his child damnit!! ;)

seriously though- I don't think I obsess over much - morality maybe, and lost socks. I can't stand having odd socks - they just look so lonely - I have been known to turn the whole house upside down in order to find a missing sock. I believe there is an evil sock gremlin who steals them from the laundry.

You are ALL in my territorial bubble.

please step back 2 feet

You know, I've been thinking about this thread ever since it's new born life. I even posted that I don't obsess about much of anything. Truth is, I do. I'm obsessed with women. Can't explain it, can't help it, I just am. I'm obsessed with the way they look (even the non-model like ones). I'm obsessed with their voices (although they differ from one individual to another). I'm obsessed with that stuff they have (you know.........that stuff). I can only snog one woman and she lives with me. I like to talk shit but it's all really innocent shit talking. I don't know where it comes from, it just comes.

A wise man once said:

"If women did not exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning".

This rings true and I almost live by it.

Women are the most precious things on earth to me and should be treated accordingly. But a little shit talking is just plain fun. :p

I'm impressed... I never thought I'd hear that come from a man's mouth and it actually seem sincere.... hats off to you Billyman...

JoJo is a lucky girl!

Danke. Here's the way I see things. Women are far from perfect as well as men. That's no big secret to anyone over the age of three days. I've never expected a woman to be perfect and if a woman expects to find the perfect man, then you will be lost, completely. We all have flaws, some more than others, but that within itself is a judgment call on the one seeing the flaws. As a heterosexual male, I'm bound to spend my life with one of two things: 1) All by myself simply because I'm too arrogant or stupid to get past even the slightest pet peeve or 2) Live with an imperfect woman as an imperfect man and learn to deal with her shit as she does mine.

50/50 is the way it simply should be. That isn't being pussy whipped, it being realistic. All in all when I think about the woman I am with or the one's I've been with, women take more shit from us than we do from them. Women (in general) do not share the ego nor the arrogance that men (in general) do. That is a simple fact. Women like/love to talk, they want to talk about their day and whatnot. For the most part we as men couldn't care less about it and are destined to find the end of the story so "she'll shut up". On the other side of that is that woman is constantly aggrivated by the mans silence, the whole "keep it all bottled up" thing.

There are two sides to each situation and from my stand point women are the only godesses that truly exist. They are but the most beautiful creatures on earth, in mind and body. I adore you all in some fancy or another. Some of you guys can kiss my ass! :p

I have a lot of views on this kinda stuff, just never really get asked about them much.

Rock on ladies
