Obsession

Because it's Monday, and I can't be expected to have an original thought on Mondays, here's a meme that's been making the rounds.

What I've been obsessed with in my life

The Last Unicorn: I still love this film. It's so beautiful. A lovely fairytale. The Smurfs: I had the little figurines and everything. And we got those glasses from Hardees. I understand there's going to be a Smurfs movie in 2008. Barbies: Gotta love Barbie and all her anatomical impossibilities. I enjoyed cutting all their hair off, punking them up with makeup, and making them screw Ken. They all ended up naked and discarded. Dancing: I took dance for about 10 years. Ballet, tap, jazz. I wanted to be in Fame or Flashdance or, at the very least, Footloose. But once I hit high school, I had to save all my free time for boys. They became my extracurricular activities. A shame, really. Boys and sex: I'm still kind of boy crazy and horny. Can you tell? Load Runner: I had an Atari 800XL and would play Load Runner for hours. I think I still have a screen shot lasered on my retinas. If I close my eyes, I can see it. Nick at Nite: When this came out, I had cable in my bedroom at home. I had one of those boxes with the buttons on the top with no remote. I'm not sure why, but I watched all the shows on Nick at Nite. Endless hours of Mr. Ed and Green Acres. It really bothers me that now they have A Different World and News Radio on Nick at Nite. Apparently I'm getting old. Drugs and Alcohol: I started drinking in 8th grade and smoking weed in 9th. In high school, summer weekends were spent at the beach, finding some redneck to buy us a case, and getting lit. The rest of the year we had field parties, which consisted of someone tapping a few kegs on their parents' property out in the country. Partying carried over through college, of course, where my roommates and I always had beer and leftover pizza in the fridge, but little else. Most weeks I partied almost every night. Now? I rarely drink. Go figure. Romance novels: I've posted about how I used to sneak my mom's romance novels. I still love them. Cheesy, I know, but I can't help it. Travel: I've also posted about this. I love to travel and see new places. Even if it's just an hour away, I like to get out and explore. James Bond: I'm a huge James Bond fan. I even have a James Bond tattoo. My mom and my brother always watched when I was growing up, but it wasn't until high school that I really began to appreciate it. I know it's misogynistic and antiquated, but I just love the glamour and glitz and international intrigue. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I have all the DVDs. Angel, too. Joss Whedon is a god. Wedding crap: This is my latest obsession. I've got the thing pretty well planned out now. All I need is the ring (any day now!). I'm sure there's more, but I haven't had any caffeine this morning, and my brain is goo. Perhaps I'll add more later, once I've had a jolt.
