Obsessions You Can't/Can Explain

Steven

*Please add your own*

I'm not even going to start about My Bizarre Obsession with the shoegaze band My Bloody Valentine...

Anyway, I'm currently obsessed with choosing a guitar to buy. This is despite me having two damaged fingers which are only slowly healing, and despite the fact that I've never been able to play an instrument (possibly due to autistic difficulties). More to the point, I can't decide - after weeks of indecision - whether I want the blue, black,or sunburst version:

I've loved guitars all my life but will likely never be able to play...so why the obsession?

  • Lately (the last few months, maybe longer, I'm not sure) I've been obsessively checking words to see if they're an anagram of anything. I'm not good at anagrams and haven't found any hilarious ones (unless you're amused that 'shampoo' is 'oops, ham' or 'ooh, spam!'), but I am amused when other people point them out to me. I think it's another autistic pattern-seeking thing, only with letters instead of numbers. And, no, I'm not good at cryptic crosswords.
