What's Your "Addiction" or "Obsession"?

Shoes!

Chinese food & sunflower seeds, if we are giong that route!

My hubby (and soon to be baby)! LOL

Video games, books, housewares, and TCS!

Perfume

And cleaning!

mine is going to gigs. particularly lostprophets, madina lake and the blackout. my daughter and i average one a month. i just love live music.

My two biggest obsessions are pet rats and greyhounds.

I love everything about rats.I own them,collect anything to do with rats and promote and educate people on rat care.I also try my hardest to dispel myths and tell people the TRUTH about rats.Hollywood has put such a bad image on rats.

As for greyhounds,I love everything about greyhounds too.I been involved with the local greyhound rescue now for over 7 yrs.I am dedicated and love just being with a greyhound.I have fostered and even had co-ownership of a couple...R.I.P! I am hoping to adopt my own grey this summer.I collect everything on greyhounds as well and have 4 large albums of greyhound pictures!

I also am obsessed with and addicted to music,penpalling (LOVE IT!),cute address labels and other cute things.

oh shoes and chocolate. And online poker

running out and taking photos of course..its my therapy...
and perhaps now that its getting nicer out I can go out more...

Seems like we'd get along perfectly. xD H.P. Lovecraft is probably one of my biggest obsessions right now. But literature in general is too.

Ask for my other obsessions...horror movies especially the cheesy, campy ones. Gabriel Byrne films. xD Johnnie Dillinger, South Park.

I saw some ginkgo leaf dishes and other decorative items last Saturday at one of the stores in the mall - JCPennys or Dillards. I immediately thought of you.

Cat dishes/bowls. My cats have an entire section of the cabinet for their dishes. I suppose it's at least an useful thing to collect.

I also like to look at the latest cat toys. When on sale/clearance they often come home with me. If after a while the cats don't play with them I pass them on--either with cat lovers I know or the shelter.

I have my Breyer model horse collection, but I really need to do something about it. I just don't have the energy to sell it myself, and at most display 10 at a time. I sold a few things off myself, but it was a royal pain.

Hmm...an obsession other then cats...My latest obsession is buying different kind of picture frames, taking photos to put in those frames, & buying pictures of a variety of animals, especially baby animals.

Books! Books! Books!

Baseball, B-movies and DXing (trying to get distant TV and radio signals). Baseball and radio DXing fit because in a time before cable TV that's the only way I could follow teams that aren't the Red Sox. Now that it's harder to get distant radio stations due to IBOC (a form of HD radio for AM signals) and the CBC moving most of their stations to FM I do TV DXing with my external high definition tuner.

As for B-movies right now I'm into 50s and 60s rock movies. TCM is running some of my favorites this month - "Fastest Guitar Alive" (Roy Orbison's only movie), "Bop Girl Goes Calypso" and "Get Yourself A College Girl".

I would say travelling. Nothing I enjoy more is a journey out of town or better yet out of the state.

Aw, you're so nice! I never go to the mall, but my mom just loves to, so I'll have to go with her one of these days and check that out. Thanks!

I think I'm addicted to TCS, lol! I have a serious collection of books, all things cat, a gazillion CD/s, vinyl records and sheet music. But like Heidi said, my" obsessions" change every few years.....mostly crafting things with me, I think I've gone through periods of making just about everything under the sun, including dolls, animals, clothes, quilts, you name it. Currently, though, I'm enthused with miniatures....dollhouses and the things that go in them......mind you, this is like model railroads....very detail oriented and can get very expensive to buy, ergo, my creative side comes out. I'm currently reworking my child hood dollhouse but want a new kit when I get this one done. Would love to do something like the link i'm about to post, but there is no way i'd ever have that kind of money.......and for the record, 1/12 scale in miniatures means that one foot in real life is one inch in miniatures....
Check this out though, its awesome even if you're not really into miniatures...

Parrots. I am always reading something about them and I don't know what I would do without them in my life. I am also addicted to buying bird stuff (toys lol) and making them toys (I have a huge collection of toy parts).

I am also addicted to the computer. I belong to several forums (a few parrot ones and 2 cat ones including this one), have 2 blogs and my own chat room.
