I've got OCD...don't get me started about obsessions.

That said, I'm a huge hockey fan...especially of the Wings. It's nice living in a city where the team doesn't suck. :)

I also spend a lot of time doing quiet, geeky things...reading, writing, listening to music, surfing the internet, loathing my lack of a social life...you know, that sort of thing. :D

Wow. A person on a message board about videogames judging how "cool" a person is. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Well besides Elisha Cuthbert? I'd say probably NASCAR and comic books. I suppose that comic books and video games aren't that much of a stretch but NASCAR, that's mighty strange in combination with the other two huh?

I don't build rockets, but I do like to solve math problems in my spare time...
But not any old problems, I make real life equations and try to prove things mathematically all the time...
It's actually real interesting...
I also like to find out the probability of a lot of things, all kinds of different things, it helps in my obsession with sports as well...
I guess I have many obsessions, one is Mike Patton frontman of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomohawk, and solo artist extraordinaire....
I also am obsessed with the 80's, especially TV shows...
Music is huge mostly though, I own close to 2,000 cd's which pretty much makes my video game collection of about 600 or so games look pretty weak...
A lot of people think obsessions are unhealthy, but I'd have to disagree, I love them...

Uhh dude were all on a Video game message board on Easter no less talking about stuff we do besides playing video games . I think it's pretty safe to say that most if not all of us are Geeks .

I like movies and Anime I also try to stay as physical active as possible I Lift Weights , Run and I also like to play Paintball when I get the chance .

I like to freeride mountain bikes, dirt jump etc. Yes, I know, I'm in Florida and there's no mountains here, but there are some really good man-made trails with some crazy jumps. So yeah with my $3000 mountain bike, I'd say it's another one of my obsessions. Though since I got my xbox a few weeks ago I've been locked inside my room!

No offense taken, as I am very much a geek. If I had a digital camera I would post pictures of my room, which is over flowing with Godzilla stuff from the 3 Godzilla conventions I have been to(and I plan on going to another one this summer).
I live near the town of Riverside, Iowa, which is the future birthplace of Captain Kirk, and every year I go to their mini convention that they have there. I hope to go to more Star Trek Conventions in the future, but I am only able to go to one each year.
I buy both versions of Lord of the Rings, and the Extended Edition I buy is the special box set that has the bonus DVDs in them and the collectibles.
And I plan on working quite a bit extra this summer so I can build a computer.

i know man... it was just too easy...

on another note...
i'm obsessed with Diet Code Red Mountain Dew.
They don't carry it here in Manhattan... so I often have to buy in bulk whenever I leave the city....

its weird... but its NOWHERE to be found here....

additionally... if anyone EVER sees it on the island of Manhattan... please tell me immediately.

that is all.

Besides endlessly posting on internet forums and searching the web?

My biggest obsession is music, hip hop only. If you know my avatar you know what kind of artists I listen to, Mos Def, J-Live, Cunninlynguists.

I also collect DVD's, that was my collecting obsession before games and as soon as I start my new job I will start again.

I used to work out constantly, especially in college, but not so much in the past few months.

Sports would be my biggest probably. Then music. I love my room this year, my roomate and I have two tvs. So on one I can play a game w/ the sound off, turn on the radio or my comp and listen to music, all while watching a muted sports game on the top tv. Heaven.
