OK, I'll start. My newest obsession happens to be silver coins. Mostly silver eagles and morgan dollars. I'm constantly checking buy/sell prices, and I can't seem to get enough. I spend every extra dollar I get on coins, in hopes that, I'll make a profit from each purchase when I sell them. I've been memorizing the values of each type of coin series that I'm interested in. Pretty soon, I won't need a price guide anymore. Thats probably when I'll get bored and start looking for my next obsession. Oh well, at least this is profitable. :roll: Who knows? Maybe I'll tackle the stock market next.

Me too. Has been for a long time. It sucks that I was never any good at it. It also sucks to be a football fan in Seattle. Or a fan of any sport for than matter. Oh well, at least our only team with a championship isn't gonna move to Oklahoma City at the end of the season anyway because the NBA is a sh***y league that lets its owners do whatever they feel like. Oh wait, that is gonna happen. And also, I've forgotten the sun exists because its winter in Seattle and it likes to not show up for 6 months of the year. Theres no reason to live!:twisted:

I am angry. Also, Matt Hasselbeck sucks. Leonard Weaver for the win. I apologize for the rant.

All things medical. Rainbows and all things rainbow colored.

I also have an interest in stories about concentration camps and nuclear disasters, but these are sort of fear mingled with interest. I suppose it interests me because I'd like to think that if people knew more about these things it might help avoid such tragedies from repeating themselves.

Computers, programming them and how they work. It's great that I can get a degree and then a job related to my obsession.
