About 10 months ago, I decided to audition for a local theatre play.

I got the lead.

Nearly a year on, I'm in pre-production for my 5th show* -- which I co-wrote. I also directed a piece back in June.

And I'm prepping for two auditions next week.

On the bright side, I'm actually getting out of the house, meeting people, and doing something creative. On the downside... I think I slept some time in the 3 day gap I had in July.



*Keep in mind that shows generally have about a 3 month run between auditions and close. Yes, I've been overlapping.

WoW
J-rock
Ham sandwiches (I dunno, just gimme)
Pickles
anime (though I'm between series now)
extreme makeup and fashion

The food obsessions cycle fairly frequently...the others never really die away but are often joined by new ones.

In the last year, I've been obsessed with:

*The life cycle of stars
*The Russian revolution
*Economics - specifically asset bubbles

I'm currently between obsessions, unless you count this website!

SpongeBob SquarePants has been my obsession for the past 4 years, and it still is. My latest special interest to accompany it is iCarly, my other accompanying special interests are Nickelodeon, The Simpsons and The Fairly OddParents.

My latest obsession is ancient runes. I have pictures of them everywhere. My neighbours think I'm going to turn into a viking and pillage the grocery store, since my last obsession was the tree of life in viking mythology, and Fenir.

My life-long worship of medical and horoscope astrology is still going strong. I think I will specialize in it and join a psychic fair after being a bio-chemist (another life long obsession) for a few years to build my dream house.


The Icelandic language uses a couple of letters that are derived from the ancient runes.

*stripgenerator.com : It's a site on which you can make you own 3 panel cartoons using a selection of graphics. It's a simple way to do something mildly creative, which is always good.
*Like someone above, The Wire.
*logic.

When I moved in here I got a few new obsessions. I generally tend to get new special interests when I get new surroundings. My new one is medical dramas. I adore House and my favourite is CSI (I think of it as medical more than a detective thing, that makes sense right?) because I'm completely obsessed with Grissom. He's so wise and intelligent and quirky. I think he has a lot of aspie traits.
