Obsessions in 2010

Post Reply New Topic

I'm sorry for posting yet another thread on obsessions. But I felt like this would be a good New Year's question for us aspies...

In what direction do you want to take your obsessions this year? For example, do you want to keep the one(s) you've had, or do you hope to start being passionate about something new? Is there anything (projects, artwork, lists, charts, maps etc. etc.) that you'll strive to accomplish with your obsessions this year?

I'll go first. In 2010, I'll pick a new anime to be passionate about, in place of my recently departed Hellsing/Trinity Blood obsession. Right now Revolutionary Girl Utena is shaping up to be a good candidate. As for what I want to accomplish with it, I plan on making customized dolls of my new favorite characters with these: http://volksusa.com/dollfie-excellent-base-body.html

Your turn!

You're able to /pick/ your obsessions?

I am jealous. ;___:

I plan on buying more anime DVDs for my collection. To me, watching all of the episodes online is not an option. I need to feel like I'm supporting the industry (even if some of the DVDs I buy might be used, at least I'm supporting the store that sells them). Plus, there's nothing like owning the DVDs in my hands.

I own a website and forum dedicated to Lazytown and Maggi Scheving. At the end of last year I was in the early stages of planning a rendezvous with Maggi himself. I hope to meet him before the interest fades.

Writing a full album of original music for voice and pinao, improving my painting skills, considering beginning to come up with plans and ideas for writing a fantasy series.

I have no idea what's a obsession and what's a interest/passion anymore!

At the moment I'm very passionate about business and making money, and have been for years, but now it's growing. I think my parents think it's just a obsession that will go away, but I don't think so, because it's feels very different to a obsession, and I still have obsessions with things like Maybachs and Rolls-Royces.

Anyway, for the purpose of this thread, let's say it is, so then I can say that I will make as much money as I can with my new business

IdahoRose, dont worry about another thread about obsessions I love this kind of threads!

I will expand my obsession in YouTube. Open a new channel.. I have too many already but none that is the Perfect One
I will then bring on LOAD AND LOADS of videos of all kind...
That is plenty enough to keep me busy for the rest of the year

I hope I can turn my psychology obsession into the start of a career... studying child development at the moment - it's so funny, cos it's like investigating a different species

Actually, it's not as easy as I made it sound. My Hellsing/Trinity Blood obsession stopped being fun around mid-summer, but I couldn't let go of it until very recently. It was like being trapped in a loveless marriage.

I think there are several reasons why it was so difficult to just let it die off like my other obsessions: Hellsing/Trinity Blood was the last thing I was obsessed with before my family and I moved out of the house we'd lived in for 10 years. It was also the thing I was obsessed with during the very last years of my childhood/adolescence. I think I was scared to let go of Hellsing/Trinity Blood because I felt like I would lose the 'part' of my old home that was still with me, as well as what was left of my childhood.

On the other hand, it was starting to bore me because I learned all there was to learn about the two series and I had grown too content with my alternate universe/crossover version to make any more changes to it. That's when I felt it was a 'loveless marriage' - the passion was completely gone, but I stayed with it because it made me feel secure.

And even though I've watched dozens of anime since then, it's taken me awhile to find ones that I deemed worthy to take the place of Hellsing/Trinity Blood.

Well...my new obsession started this past week. But, it relates to something I have been working on for awhile---my novel. The new obsession is backpacking. Yesterday, I ordered off of an Ebay store a vintage Kelty Tioga backpack. Then, I went up to my parents' house and found my oldest nylon tent and sleeping bag to put in it when it arrives. The novel I am working on involves a character who will make a backpacking journey. I want to experience what backpacking is like.

something logical hopefully that will get me somewhere ,but its probably gonna be world war II fiction or batman or something

Thank you! I think every aspie loves threads on obsessions. I know I do (that's why I started one!)

I would like to check out your youtube videos sometime, so when you start your new channel, could you please send me the link? Thank you!

languages, get better at drawing and start painting, keep practicing guitar. So they aren't going to change, that I can see...I don't want any new people obsessions...I think I'd like to take the year off from even thinking about getting involved with anyone. I think this is going to be a great year.

Same as last year and the years before that.....meerkats!
