Obsessions Outlet

[Molly K.]

I play the bass. I am completely fixated on it. That, and writing.
When I was a little kid it was geology and paleontology, and in later elementary and middle school it was Eastern European history. Having an obsession is a good thing though, because really, then you'll just become superior to everyone in that one thing you're obsessed with.

This picture speaks to me on a spiritual level
THIS IS WHAT MY SHELF IS GOING TO END UP LOOKING LIKE (except for every single Batman character they are all so important)

I HAVE BEEN VERY OBSESSED WITH BATMAN FOR A YEAR

The caps were necessary

Hey guys

I thought I'd try this out to see if it helps. Here's a place for venting our obsessions.

For some of us, our obsessions can be all consuming, and there's nothing we want to talk about more. Sometimes people are willing to hear us out, but sometimes we're left having to deal with bottling it up. Sometimes even those who are at first willing to hear us out, have been worn thin, as we're simply much more obsessed than they are able to handle (I know I've been guilty of his before).

If you have something that's keeping your preoccupied until those early hours of morning, and you so desperately need to get someing off your chest, here's the place to share it. Feel free to write as much as you'd like, and as often as you'd like. You can even add pictures, videos, music, whatever aids in getting your obsessions out there.

My biggest obsession is Harry Potter and has been for a long time now. I'm on Pottermore, plus a bunch of other fan sites, and I'm pretty sure I drive my parents up the wall with my constantly talking about it. lol

Aahh good, I always hate talking to people about my obsessions because they always get so bored after a while, whether they like those things or not. And it doesn't always seem to take long, either. Sometimes I go crazy with the things that are boiling over that I don't feel free to talk about. >_<

Right now I'm in love with cartoons especially, Steven Universe and Wander Over Yonder being my tops. The latter partly because of my simultaneous obsession with Jack McBrayer, who I don't like to talk about too much because as an aromantic asexual I'm always afraid people think I'm sexually or romantically attracted to the guys I latch onto. I just like them for their persona or their talents, or a specific character they play.
I'm really big into alpacas as well, and my mom recently bought me some alpaca scarves which I LOVE. I'm interested in collecting this Japanese line of cutesy alpaca plush dolls called Arpakasso. I have a knock-off one currently and I have a friend visiting Japan right now who is planning on bringing me a legitimate Arpakasso toy. I'm so excited!! Sometimes I fantasize about working on an alpaca farm, or at least visiting one.
I also have a sensory fixation on the color pink, especially hot pink and pastel pink. It puts me in a state of euphoria, especially in monochrome or in certain color schemes. I don't know why, it's just always been my favorite color and lately my love for it has intensified greatly.

One of my current obsessions would be computer programming.
For those interesting or curious...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
cout << "Hello, World!" << endl;
return 0;
}

My first words were 'Hello, World' and it is one of the oldest traditions in programming
Anyways, just thought I would spam this forum with a few lines of code; however basic!

I like doing HTML too, but am a beginner, and still struggle with it a lot

I use the term "man-crush," which is mostly applicable to women.

Hopefully you process in increments. Markup language (HTML) first, then Cascading Style Sheets and then client-side scripting languages (Java-script). Then you move up to server-side scripting such as ASP or PHP. Then put it all together with XHTML.

Gets pretty hairy if you try doing all at once. As they say, been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Have fun, anyways.

Haha, yeah, not quite able to edit style sheets, without the help of google

I don't practise it often, mostly because I have many interests going on, but I want to learn. Also, still stuck with an issue on how to make a banner on the top of a web page, to become a clickable link that takes me back home. It's static at the moment

Assuming your home page is named "index.html" and your banner was named "banner.gif" with these dimensions (468 x 60 pixels) , here's how you would link the entire banner to your home page:

<a href="index.html"><img src="images/banner.gif" width=468 height=60 alt="To Home Page" border=0></a>

Now when you want to link only a specific portion of a graphic, that when you need to make an "image map"..which takes a bit more work. We'll cover that another time...lol.

Ooh, thanks Judge

I'll have to give that a try

Same here, I love messing with HTML and CSS, but I just get so distracted that I haven't focused enough on it to really be able to do it without help. Apparently web design/coding can be pretty lucrative, according to some of the people I've talked to.

I know it's usually a kids thing but I'm completely obsessed with dinosaurs. No kidding, ever since I was eight it's been all I could talk about. I've always had one sided factual conversations about them constantly but the carnivorous dinosaurs seem to be all I really like.
I also have recently discovered my death and mental disorder obsessions. It's really strange but I've been obsessing over death and what people look like after death and the different stages after death. I also love mental disorders which is where I constantly search up different disorders and diagnose my family and friends.
I also have an obsession with movies such as Jurassic Park (obviously), Pirates of the Caribbean, the Dark Knight trilogy and basically every Marvel movie and characters there are.
The strange thing is that I only have certain obsessions during certain moods. I've only just gotten back into the dinosaurs but I seem to be less depressed now so it must have been my depressed stage that pulls me away from it. The other obsessions are pretty much 24/7.
I also LOVE writing so much that I can NEVER switch off from it. Plus I'm writing about aliens right now so almost nothing I see doesn't remind me of the book.

Today I got out three Batman comics and even found a cheap Batman: Arkham City game!

I don't know whether to call that a Batman obsession or not!

My latest obsession is my Crown Victoria, which many of you may have read about on other threads. It is an '05 P71 with the Street Appearance Package and less than 72,000 miles. In other words, it has all the best things of a cop car and all the best things of the civilian model. As one CV owner has said, "It's like having a 4-door Mustang." It has stainless steel exhaust, aluminum driveshaft, Marauder style airbox, and the P71 tune. If you're wondering, it tops out at 132 MPH; that's where the speed limiter is set. I have thought about having the computer remapped, but I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to be driving 150 MPH.

One of my coworkers commented that I should "put some lights on it." I liked the idea, so I've installed strobes in the front and back (front is white, rear are amber/white). I've also added a dummy Motorola antenna and yesterday I installed a 3' CB antenna. The CB will be ordered next payday. I've entertained the idea of a siren, just for giggles, but that would be pressing my luck. I am going to install a dash-cam.

I saw one of these with the biggest wheels and tires it could fit (less then half an inch gap from tire to fenders) and a massive for f-350 front end guard bolted on to it, it looked mean as ****.

I am pretty obsessed with godzilla, I want his death breath powers:

This might sound a little broad for most Aspies, but I am obsessed with gaining knowledge, and the advent of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has been a godsend for me. I have completed 8 courses in the last year - on subjects as diverse as dinosaurs, computing (my profession), philosophy and archaeology.

Oh, and my other, less appealing, obsession is with correct grammar and spelling ... sometimes, I stop myself correcting people ... sometimes!

There is nothing wrong with 100% accurate spelling and grammar.....

Spiders! Horribly obsessed with these creatures right now. I can't walk past a web without stopping to examine it, and immediately get face-to-face with any spiders I meet. My favourites are orb weavers. I have to remind myself many times a day to not talk about them, because I'm getting on the nerves of just about everyone I know (even though they talk about things they like all the time, and I never complain).

I alsorelate to spiders a lot. Quiet, solitary, like their own company. Obsessed with making their webs (in some cases - part of the reason I like orb weavers), preferably in peace. Creative, and far less scary and weird than the mainstream would have you believe.

Spiders are a lot like aspies.
