Mickeymouse,

Ditto on number 5 for me! Siamese and tabbies are my favorites!

1. Evolution
2. Dadaism
3. Zeerust/Retrofuturism
4. Silkscreen art
5. Cats
6. Indie music
7. Genres of fiction
8. Old English
9. French
10. Lists

Bottom line, the major all-time obsessions are:

UK-related stuff (language, authors, artists)
Sinclair ZX Spectrum
The Cure (less intense these days but still speaks loudly to me)
The many different forms of sex
Videogame development

I have had many other short-term obsessions in the past that spanned from months to a couple years, though. Countless.

I like lists, too. I like to read Best Of and Book of Lists type books.

I have a Hammond C3 and Hammond A102 in my home that I regularly play. I also have a Hammond E100 in storage. I also have one of those Lowery organs that has the rhythm/chord generator on the lower keyboard. I love theatre pipe organs though, especially Wurlitzers and Kimballs.

1. My daughter
2. British Sign Language
3. LGBT stuff. Especially transgender issues.
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
5. Aspergers and Autism
6. Certain types of computer games: fantasy RPGs (particularly Final Fanstasy), pretty 2d space shooters like geogemtry wars, and Mario Kart.
7. Clothes
8. Being a Goth (as in the subculture)
9. Theology
10. Old(ish) sci-fi books (John Wyndham, Robert Heinlein etc)
11. Elephants (since I was a kid)

I would like to say robots, but generally robots are just something that I enjoy and make me very happy- I don't really know anything about them, so I can't call them an obsession.

A friend and myself once rebuilt a Leslie rotary valve amp/speaker (they were used on Hammonds) that his dad found in pieces. I added a rheostat so we could get a wha-wha, swirly effect when he played his guitar through it. Sounded really great!

1. Anything Estonian
2. Romance languages (primarily Spanish)
3. Special symbols
4. Women with double braids (I don't know why...)
5. Ranting
6. Poetry and quotes
7. Independence

excellent can you play in the Wurlitzer theatrical style? [using second touches and such]?

Since everyone else seems to be doing it, so shall I:

1. Biology
2. Physics
3. Basically everything else science-related
4. Fire Emblem
5. Terraria

I'm narrow in comparison to y'all, I know.
