What are your current obsessions?

Horses for last 11 or 12 years :D
I usually bore people to death once I start talking about them, so I'll try to stop at this:

It's great to work with them, I always have new goals, they like routines and I can read and communicate with them easier than with people. But people think I'm exaggerating with collecting information about them and say that I take too much care, especially with their health needs. I spend all my money on them, especially now when my mare is supposed to have arthritis (vet said, but x-rays are impossible to take - sacroiliac joints are deep in horse). Unfortunately I haven't found anything that would help her and it's been going on for 2 years. No riding for me...

But don't let me start. I can talk about them all day long, from hoof anatomy to training techniques :wink:

They seem to change quite a bit for a few years it was rock climbing, i would be down there everyday, even got a job doing it, then one day just stopped and really didnt like it but its coming back again now.
TV shows i get obsessed with : prison break, i was depressed for about a week after i finished that, now its breaking bad, the mentalist and community which i have watched over about 6-7 times.
My major obsession is the ricky gervais podcast ive listened to it practically every night for the past 3 years, only 41 episodes, as you can imagine i pretty much know it off by heart.
 
I used to be a professional photographer. If I can ever help you take better pictures, please inbox me.

Some of my obessions include computers (pretty obvious), website devleopment, fourms and gaming.

When I was younger, I was hugely obsessed with contstuction vehicles and had a very large collection of replica diecast models. This obsession lasted even into my early teenage years. I still have most of the models stored in my attic, some complete with the box.

At the moment, I am getting increasingly obsessed with photography and taking photographs. I'm not so much interested in how a camera works, it's more just taking photographs. I tend to take photographs when i'm with friends and socialising and then reflect on these photos when i'm feeling down. I have a tonne of photographs on my Facebook page.

Too politically incorrect for me to talk about...fighting to have "parental rights" to talk to my son, + would love to find a girlfriend [yeah right...] as my beautiful Athena died during suspended animation...plus I'd love to find a planet or website to call my home...being an android from the future...it's amazing how prejudiced NT's are against me! ;)

Nice! :D
Cand and I tried this once, we found 3 runaway sheep on our trail ride. They ran like crazy, I don't think they had much experience with horses...

Thank you. Different breeds of dog and even individuals within the same breed behave differently in the presence of sheep. If the sheep are not "dog broke" or are very used to the same dog, they can run faster for a strange dog. So it isn't unusual that the horses would scare them.
 
My current obsessions are learning more about Asperger's through both fiction and non fiction books, taking photographs, reading about Carl Jung's Analytical Psychology, and watching BBC documentaries on Youtube (often about science). My long running obsessions are with Aleister Crowley, the Western Mystery Tradition, Heavy Metal bands and music, and chess. My weirdest (I suppose) obsession is with my penis, which began after I was made acutely aware of it, following an operation on it when I was seven. I have a need to check it at least 10 time per day:unsure:
 
History, gender communications, politics & I'm still training to get hired by the NY Football Giants as a Defensive End. :running::skip:

* tunnels and holes (This is embarrasing, but I can spend hours looking att different types of tunnels and holes, like the underground. And I would never admit this in any other place then here.)

And now I feel like this --->:redface:

Tunnels and holes is cool. And very childlike. Small children love to crawl through and into things. Tunnels are great in their opinion. But a child who was born by Cesarean, will try to go around, rather than through a tunnel.
 
I Love Tunnels and Holes! As a kid, i knew every storm drain tunnel in our neighborhood (the series of tunnels under the road for rain water run off). They did not cover them back then and they got larger as more tunnels fed into them until they emptied out into a creek. I could get anywhere in town, or home again, without being seen.
Now I am a contractor and work a lot in basements, crawlspaces, attics, boiler rooms, pipe crawls and such.
I still love small spaces. I guess when I am in them, I feel contained.
 
Hopefully I am posting correctly...Some of my obsessions are Buddhism which is a survival tool for me. Another is useful for my line of work...door knob shaking. I go thru a lot of doors and unless I shake the door it isn't locked. I will go up 3 floors to double check the door if I didn't remember shaking the door. I don't mind this one because people are depending on me to lock the door. Plus a standard deadbolt will drag the latch back occasionally. Other obsessions are: martial arts, chess, internet poker(funny money version)and meditation...various methods
 
My new interest is memorizing irrational constants. I find a lot of peace reciting the numbers in my head, thinking about them as a whole, and trying to wrap my brain around the impact they have on our observations of the physical universe.
