Games, computers, editing videos... Its been a lot over the years. Right now id say its Aspergers actually. Well its my top obsession right now anyway. I still get caught up with different video games now and then though, but not to the extent where im researching it day and night like i did when i was playing WoW.

My obsessions tend to change every now and then, some last years and years, others weeks/months. Most of the time they are just replaced by something i get more obsessed with in the moment, and i move back and forth between one obsession to another.

Smart cars and prehistoric life.

Previous obsessions have generally focused around people. The last big one (5+ years) was Dusty Springfield.

There is a thread answering your question down on the stats forum. I copied my response below:

Country music (esp pre-1965), anti-Communism, Chevys with tailfins, Coins, pre-1965 collectibles, beating traffic tickets, history (especially Confederate), Latino culture, speaking Portuguese, silent movies (especially DW Griffith)

I have a collection of pens, pencils and blank notebooks that could stock the local Office Max(tm).
