I just thought I'd start a topic about what interests and hobbies we have. Here's some of mine...
Currently I am obsessed with Politics, Philosophy, History. My reading revolves around George Orwell and Sartre, Simone De Beauvoir, Lacan, Kristeva, Freud.......
As a teenager I was REALLY obsessed with the actress Kate Winslet to the extent that I could think about nothing else or be interested in anything else, unless I could relate it in my mind to Winslet. Prior to this interest I was obsessed with the Titanic as an historical event which led me to watch the film, and this led to the Winslet obsession. As a child all I could think about was food and what I was having for meal, and I used to memorize what people had eaten. All my play and talk revolved around food. I liked to look at all the food in supermarkets and I read the packaging.
I was obsessed with child development and babies when I was a tennager because Winslet had a baby and I wanted to get closer to her. I took notes every time I saw a baby; what it was wearing, make of pram etc, and I read parenting magazines and catalogues from cover to cover
