One of my obsessions that has fluctuated in intensity has been my Magic: The Gathering obsession. Since I came to uni about a year and a half ago I've been able to indulge in it because there is a local games shop with regular tournaments. I've now also become a level 1 judge so I can go to judge at larger events (and I get paid more when I do).
Magic the Gathering was one of my long lasting obsessions. I use to be obsessed with collecting certain card types like dragons or Slivers. I have a bunch of Shivan Dragons, Sliver Queens, ect.

I've got life long obessions that changes it's intensity depending on other obessions that appear. My main life long one has always been mythical creatures especially mermaids and when I was a child I used to go on and on about making my own mermaid tail and I used to fantasize all day, my mum never made one though, sadly.
My "medium" obsessions last a couple of years, I had an obsession from 2005-early 2007 with the band tA.T.u, and I used to talk about them all the time and I mainly said the same stuff and I used to bring up the subject of tatu in nearly every conversation resulting in annoying everyone I know, but I didn't care haha. I even had my hair cut like yulia (the shorter haired member) in 2006! I'm still a big fan of them now but not as obsessive as I once was.
I have "mini" obsessions that last from a few days-months, and they're usually websites or something I'd been reading about maybe a band or something.
Lena and Yulia are hot! lol. I love all of their music, especially Dangerous and Moving CD. As far as mythical stuff is concerned, I had an obsession with Greek and Roman Mythology. I loved Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess.

I've been obsessed with the blues since 2006, I think, and specifically Blind Willie McTell from mid-2008. The longest obsession I've had was about Lego and lasted from 1994-2002, and shows signs of a rebirth.
I had an obsession with Legos castles. lol I also had an obsession with trying to build the Super Mario 3 airships out of legos.
Well, I used to have an obsession with Legos at 6-12 years. Then I had an obsession with History until my obsession with Drawing. After that came writing which started three years ago and still counting. But the biggest obssesion I have now is anime, starting with Pokemon when I was 6. Along with writing, this is my biggest obsession.
Every now and then I get a minor obsession, like Lilith or Leviathan or Behemoth or Go, Risk, and chess. I'm still have an obession with Lilith and Leviathan as we speak, but I don't think about them as much as anime and writing.
I was obsessed with Dragon Ballz, Naruto, Death Note, and especially Pokemon. Risk is how I learned geography when I was 8 or 9. It helped a lot to picture the world in my head. I love chess too.

I can only handle 1 major obsession at a time.
They all vary. My obsession with ants ended when my Mum moved my ant farm to the garage. I don't know, I didn't like spending all my time in the garage.
My obsession with Triops(Notostraca) ended when they all died.
My obsession with Tamagotchi(both plural and singular, afaik) ended when my Tamagotchi died.
My obsession with magnets ended when my computer obsession became too strong.
Now all do is go on the computer with brief obsessions which I learn about on my computer. For example, religion. Every lunch time for around a week I'd just read religious statistics. Then I got a bit bored, and moved onto reading about Anonymous(I already new a bit, but not that much), then Area 51, then Coke conspiracies, etc.
EMZ=]
I had an obsession with Ants as a kid. I use to read all about them and try to raise them in ant farms.

Only hobby which was destructive was period when I was 15-17 years old and played Starcraft very much. I was always playing as Zerg. One time, I sat up 48 hours in row.
I played that game non-stop. lol My favorite race was the Protoss. They are finally making Starcraft 2. Can't wait.

been a Star Wars Fan since I was 10 or 9, when I played the first Rogue Squadron game on the N64. The strength does vary, there were years when I didn't pay too much attention to it but kept my knowledge, then I increased it again,
hardcore chanfag since august 2007 and been paying attention to it since 2006, and seeing gurochan a little in 2005
what else?
I went into a Star Wars obsession phase. I had a fascination with Star Destroyers.
As you can see I've had a lot of obsessions. I've been told that I know a little about everything. Thing is I usually only focus on one and maybe two at the most at any given time.
