how many of us have now taken WP or our aspie syndrome as an obsession? And where do you define hobbie and obsession, where is the borderline inbetween?

Wrong Planet is where the obsessed come to obsess on being obsessed.

A hobby can become an obsession if you think about it all the time and find yourself constantly drawn to it maybe even when you wish you weren't. I only like my hobbies to include things I am really good at.

Yeah I think that's true. (previous post :) I seem to always go from hobby to obsession, and WP has even gotten that way at times. But that's my aspie ways come through I suppose.

I think obsessions evolve from one to another. As child I was into collecting comic albums, poststamps (or was that a hobby?)
then Indians from North America became the big thing in so much I became a specialist in Indians now of South America ( I lieved with them for a while and wrote a book, which I just finished and I am still looking for a publisher), music and dance was an obsession and I exelled in it (am a good dancer in so much that people ask if I have been to a dancing school), contrary to the asexuals I have been obsessed with sex since I was 12.
