Pokemon (just the games, not the show or cards)
The X-Files (not a current obsession, but I still have encyclopedic knowledge about it)
Tool
Anything Hellraiser-related
Wendigos
I wish I could be obsessed with something that's actually useful - none of these are ever going to do me any good, besides giving me that indescribable sensation of indulging in an obsession. Also, I use the term "obsession" instead of "special interest" or something because for me, that's what it is - when it's at its strongest, every single thought I have pertains in some way to my current obsession, and I've absolutely had problems with my obsessions interfering with other things, like schoolwork in college.
