The Obsession

Has anyone ever experienced 'The Obsession'? I'm sure I can't be the only one. You're just minding your own business and then you come across something you love. It can be something absurd and simple, but once you've found it you can't stop thinking about it, you've got to keep focused on it. You spend every second of every day googling and you tubing everything associated with it!

That is 'The Obsession'. Sometimes it can be a good thing. Definitely if it's work related. I do some of my best work when I'm on obsession mode. So worked up about something and so inspired that I write out masterpieces. Which once the obsession runs it course I instantly forget about. Because of course, Obsessions die. But my obsessions tend to be more focused on other peoples works. Which is okay, because they inspire me to go into obsessive creative mode too.

I can still sort of remember my main obsessions. Mainly because they tend to last months rather than days or weeks:
1. Dragon Ball Z: Sad but true. As a kid I was obsessed with this show. I spent every single bit of free time on DBZ fan sites, and writing bad fan fiction. It is the only show I have written fan fiction for. Mainly because my parents found my idolizing writing and laughed at it. So now I no longer write fan fiction.
2. Pokemon: Yeah, still a little obsessed on this one. In that I buy all the games, even though I haven't completed a game since emerald green. Sad I know. >.< GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL SUCKAS!
3. Harry Potter: Mainly because it was the first big book I read. The first four books I have read over ten times. If I had no new books to read I would just read them again. I knew these books so well I could quote paragraphs. PARAGRAPHS! But this obsession pretty much ended around the same time the first movie came out, followed by the 5th book. Worse on top of worse! So yeah, used to love them, knew every single thing about them, now I hardly remember anything.
4. House: I probably did have obsessions before House, bu I can't remember them. So, they weren't true long period obsessions. I love House. I have box-sets 1-5. when I started watching the shows I could re-watch episodes up to three times. I was a shameless fan. Even now when new episodes come out, if they're really good ones I'll just watch them again on the same day. No shame there. I love House. My flat mate scorns me for my love. He thinks Hugh Laurie should of stuck to the old stuff he was doing. I tell him that his career has moved on from then. And House is amazing. I never feel like House is trying to stupidfy itself for its audience. It is definitely one of the best American dramas.
5. Hetelia: NO THIS IS NOT JAPANESE PORN! Hetelia and Hentai are two different things. Hetelia means Italy in Japanese I think. Cause it's a little anime about Italy personified.... well it's about the countries of the world personified, and it's mostly focused on the period around World War 2. Each episode is about 5-6 minutes long. It was a online webcomic before it became an anime, and I did read the webcomic before watching the anime. They're both a little different, I think the webcomic is perhaps funnier than the anime. Unless it's English dubs. Because the English dubbed version of Hetelia is hilarious. They use accents and everything. and you don't really feel too bad about laughing at it because Hetelia makes fun of pretty much every country. Every single stereotype is probably in there. I love their personification of England and France. So cute! Definitely worth watching. And try not to get too obsessed. It is good. x3

So what is my new obsession which inspired this post? Minecraft. I wasn't going to play, it and now I did, and now all I can think about is bloody Minecraft. The worlds most simplest game. What's it about? Mining and crafting! Duh! and that's basically it. But if you dare play it you will lose a day. Seriously. It is one of those games that you can forget to to eat after playing it. It sucks you in, especially if you have a project. and then next thing you know it's 1am and you haven't eaten since yesterday. So I guess this is why I'm writing this. To warn the world of Minecraft. You might think it looks like pixerlated polygrammed shit, but you play it and you will be lost to us all! It takes allot of self control to sit here and write this and not just go on it and play. It really really does. I am planning what to build, where to dig my mine, so and so forth >.< It's like harvest moon! but more addictive!!! So this is a note to the world. Do not play Minecraft. Unless you have allot of free time on your hands. Because you might mean to do work, and then you play it and BAM! There goes your work time..... Obsession is an evil thing indeed. definitely when added to addictive games >.<
