Occaisionally I get hooked on a topic so long that I even start it up with strangers when I'm in line at the store. I've embarassed myself a good deal, and my teachers all think there's something wrong with me because I always talk about these really disturbing topics.


What kind of disturbing things are we talking about, exactly? I ask because I became curious about Dahmer last year and have been obsessed with him ever since. It's gotten to the point where I will try to work it into conversations whenever I get the chance. One guy I know likes to refer to me as "the weird creepy kid."


Disturbing interests I've had: lobotomies, lockjaw, serial killers, child predators, the Exorcist, LSD (no I have never tripped). Stuff like that, it was all I brought up at the time.

Yes. Everyone I know knows me as "the meerkat girl". Most also know to NEVER disuss Meerkat Manor in front of me. I even probably know more about them than Tim Clutton-Butt.

Yes. I am known as the I Love Lucy Girl. :lol: It was much more heightened in middle school and high school, because that was the time that I actually gave monologues about Lucy. I don't give monologues anymore, so people here at my college know it's a big thing for me, but they don't realize the extent of my obsession, since it's not the one that I currently have to ramble about. I like being known by special interests, though. I think it's fun, and it makes me stand out and be unique.

Meerkat Manor is THE best/cutest wildlife docu-soap EVER. <3
