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)

Vintage British buses, such as Routemasters, RTs, and other half cab double decker buses. I like Routemasters the best.
