what is your most embarassing obsession?

[Ivaden]

I hate deleting music from my iTunes/computer, but because I only have an old 8gb Nano, have to do it constantly. It's gotten to me so bad now that I'm going to spend the money for 120gb one even when I don't really have the money to do so. That seems pretty tame of an 'obsession,' though.

That goes hand-in-hand with wanting to keep folders/documentation/etc. on my computers very accessible and organized for whatever reason. I'm probably the last thing people would look to and think organized off of my computer though. Not sure why, but I just like having everything tidy. Cannot fucking stand a cluttered desktop on computers, my own or even looking at other people's computers.

As for obsessions, I don't like throwing away holiday cards that I receive, although I threw away quite a few recently. It's not that I want to collect them, just feel bad about throwing away things that people get for me. This is also why I've kept myself satisfied with a Nano iPod for so long because it was a gift. Also have tons of McDonalds, etc., kid's toys on my computer desk because I don't like throwing those away either.

I also enjoy buying books even though I don't really read as often as I'd like. Just having the option of picking up something and reading it intrigues me.

Phantom of the Opera.

Most of my collection is in storage at the moment though, and I think that helped sort of tame it. I collected/traded/bought bootlegs and memorabilia and whatnot with people all over the globe - I got a Japanese souvenir program from their production which is simply amazing and is one of my favorite pieces in the collection. I ran a website for about 3 yrs which chronicled every woman playing the lead role of Christine or had played the role, keeping tabs on what work they were doing now; it also landed me interviews with some of them in person, backstage tours, free tickets and/or house seats, invites to various cast parties, etc. Stage manager and doorman in New York knew my name... haha. I kinda miss that, but I spent sooooo much money and effort and such...

I suppose it branched out to theatre in general in a way, but mostly Phantom. And I rt of really liked recognizing cast names from the show in other shows, keeping track of who was doing what almost more than anything. Odd.

I have an obsession with Scene girls, I went to a skate demo in some suburb of Chicago (Aurora) and there were hundreds of them, but they were all like 14-16, I'm 20 that's a no no but god knows I held myself back from talking them up...

I also watch some anime, and obviously play ffxi but thats a big SHH, I never reveal that to anyone, well except to one of my ex's just because she likes the same crap I do...

I'm the same way with my computer, and god forbid I look at someone's computer and see it unorganized, I go as far as to delete, name, move around, etc when they aren't looking or are in another room.

I know how you feel about not throwing away stuff that people give you, I have song manga print outs that a friend of mine gave me a long time ago, at first they were on my wall because I promised to put them up when I moved into my new place but I had to take them down when a few of my ex's had the same reaction, now I keep them in a folder somewhere.

Does anyone else have issues with cluttered PC desktops? Like on mine there is just the My Computer shortcut and the Recycle Bin... I can't STAND having even 1 full row of icons down the side, drives me nuts. I hate seeing screenshots where people have like 1200 icons on their desktop.

(I also do this)

Step on a crack, fall and break your back! ;_;

I think I'm becoming a trophy whore on my PS3. Still not as bad as a lot of other people (Like hell I'm renting Hannah Montana for trophies) but I will try games that I'd normally give a miss for the sake of a few trophies.

I'm the same. I see people with desktops screens full of icons it drives me insane. I have the recycle bin in the bottom right corner and a few essential icons in the top left, but that's it. =/

I hate it, but to each their own. You will never find an icon on any of my desktops. Even back in the XP days I would reghack to get rid of EVERY icon. I also don't allow my Linux computers to place mount links on my desktop. My computers tend to portray my likes/dislikes, moods, etc., so miscellaneous crap all over it would only detract from that. I'm one of those people that uses custom pictures for bootup/logon/desktop/everything else. Whenever the dock programs get to the point of working with 64 bit OS's I won't even have a taskbar. It's amusing in a way; I dislike having a taskbar that rolls offscreen, but I don't have any problem with my dock programs doing the same thing. I guess its because instead of just a bar at the edge of the screen its because I still have tabs, and they don't detract/distract from the desktop? Meh, who knows.

Think he means the flash animations from waaayyy back, made by maeoshito (unsure of exactp spelling but close!)

He made several large flash animations/interactive mithra action ones.

Theirs a bunch of taru ones too, I don't recall the name of the author of them however... Qwerty1 on neko-sentai has all of them in his "taru pack" folder on the site though if your looking for them! O_o

Oooooooh, those, I have those

Well, not the Taru cause midgets ain't my thing.

The fact that you make fun of people who are into the same thing you're into is worse then the fact that you have an obsession with Blink 182.

[SilverBreeze]

I don't have an obsession with watching it, but I have over a TB of porn on an external hard drive and am working on a second.

I don't think I watch more porn than your average person, it's just that I like to have a huge selection is all.

So I guess downloading porn is my obsession >_>.

[EternityEnd]

Wait, aren't you female? So... since I can only assume you DL porn with only hot guys in it, you know, feel free to post in eyecandy thread/send me some. <3

Or both.

[zoobernut]

You have not spent much time around here. I am sure that SB has a healthy mix of all types of porn.

(Sorry if that is incorrect SB)

[Ghost_Wheel22]

While at restaurants I reorganize the sugar packets, jams, and creamers to all face the right direction. I also have a moderate obsession with collecting shaving creams, soaps, razors (straight, DE, and misc), blades, stropes, barbering books, and mugs. I've actually gad to remodel my bathroom to hold it all ; ;

And I supposed I have OCD when it comes to assembling/painting my Warhammer armies. I'll pore hours into reference books and novels to create accurate models. Last project took me about 400 hours for a 2000 point chaos army. Paint job isn't 'eavy metal good but damn close.

And I only play with black bordered magic cards. Made me rage enough that I once used a sharpie on a NM unlimited underground sea. Went from a $40 card to $5

Oh you'd be surprised my dear.

This is most definitely correct. When I say huge selection, I mean big selection of all kinda of different stuff, that's the entire point of me having so much of it.

Also, this.

I really hate playing card games with sleeves on the cards, but I cannot stand those white bordered cards, so if I have one I'll stick an entire deck in sleeves before I play with a white bordered one.

[Ragnell]

Yea I like selection when I jerk, makes me have options and mutliple women

[Ziero]

I save most of the good stuff I find too, because it really sucks when you're in the mood for that one specific thing you saw once and then you can never find it again

[Mizango]

It's nice seeing SB back :3

[SilverBreeze]

It's nice seeing SB back :3

Aww thanks! My 4 year anniversary is coming up and I don't even have 2,000 posts yet!

I save most of the good stuff I find too, because it really sucks when you're in the mood for that one specific thing you saw once and then you can never find it again

This is pretty much the exact reason why I started hoarding so much of it. It got frustrating, so I just started saving every good video and picture I came across and now here I am. I don't know if it's much of an obsession though.

Another thing that I do, and I don't know if it's really an obsession really but like. When I bathe in the evenings, if I use like say... strawberry shampoo, then I have to wear red pajamas. For some reason it feels weird to use green apple shampoo then wear red pajamas, I'm just weird like that.

[zoobernut]

You wear pajamas? Hmm that is not what I expected.

(And welcome back.)
