I was obsessed with Sid Vicious at the time but these days I'm more intrigued by Johnny Rotten. |

Nah not really, I'm in to lots of things but not to the level of obsession. |

When I was younger I was really obsessed with global destruction, mostly by zombie attack. Seriously, I could not go into a shopping centre without subconsciously starting to assess escape routes and how the place could be fortified. Nowadays I just stare at my screen. Can't really say I get obsessive about things now. People sometimes think I am getting obsessive, but they are just mistaking the amount of focus I can apply to things. |

Interesting post/question. I think everyone should have a few near obbsessional interests, it's how diseases find cures and prevents us from realising that life is essentially nothing but a series of decreasingly effective biological events. Although obbsessions are also, I 'spose, responsible for serial killings and poop-smut. So the above is prob just bollocks. From a personal point of view, mine would have to be: 1.Film making. Since I first started dicking around with cameras, many, many years ago, my interest has grown to the point where it nearly defines me. Almost everything I observe in everyday life, I consider how it would look through the lens of a camera. I haven't learnt much though and I'm still completely talentless. 2.Cryptozoology. Mostly the aquatic side of things. The older I get, the less I believe in anything 'fantastic'. However, in an age where everything is defined, catergorized and fit snugly into our sanitized lives I believe the world is still big enough to yield a few suprises. Well, that's the excuse I'm gonna give for having an embarassingly large collection of obscure books about lake monsters. 
There's a few other things including some fairly standard sexual foibles that I wont embarass myself with here. (Not the poop-smut mentioned above though!) Sorry for rambling. It's my day off so I'm getting in some quality internet time. |

Actually, thinking about it I do have a thing for science. I am not like an ultra elite quantum theorist, but I certainly do watch a huge amount of science stuff, read a lot too. I have a particular thing about the universe, physics and what not. My brain seems to like the theoretical stuff, I love conceptualising the latest theories in my head. Makes my brain feel huge, in a weird way. The wife and family hate all that, they got no idea what it is on about. lol |

At first I thought I didn't have any other obsessions than taking over the world, and since you lot already knew that, I didn't post. Now I have read all this, and actually the question is: what subject are the most books you own on/what subject interests you a lot? Well, for me it is World War II. Very cliche, I know, but for me it is a special conflict: apart from the political implications of nazism and Japanese imperialism, this war changed a whole lot on the global spectrum. After this war, science made a giant leap forwards and wealth became a commodity in the western world. Man was able to travel into space because of inventions made during the war. The conflict itself is also very interesting. Actually this war was the last conflict where only conventional weapons were used (except for the A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki of course, but both weren't really necessary to end the war) and it was also the last in which military leaders showed noblemindedness towards each other, despite them being enemies. On a more personal note this conflict interests me because my own father lived during World War II and was caught by the Germans for forced labour, alongside some of his brothers, of whom the eldest had been fighting in the army in May 1940, when the Germans invaded the Netherlands. Only one of the brothers arrived in Germany however, and he was stationed on a farm, so he never got hungry. All others escaped before even getting on the train. There's little I don't know about this conflict, and most stuff I don't know is from people's personal accounts, which makes it hard to find. |

My brother is really into his military history. He knows dates and all that shit, I tend to only listen when he starts quoting facts like death tolls. |

Nope, but it always looked intriguing. Not really into games much, they tend to be pretty limited. |

I am a software developer so programming is my biggest obsession. The only problem is that sitting in front of the computer all the time can really make you feel sick. So I was advised by my doctor to not play with or sit down in front of my computer at home. 
I am a very social thinking person. I fixed a net behind a soccer goal on a public soccer field so others could play without having to run after the ball each time they shoot on the goal. 
I also like to pixelwise edit images and remove text from specific areas of it (e.g. get ride of a text on a nice picture) - you wont even notice that I edited the image.
