Everyone can list their obsessions here, and maybe people who like the same things can bond : D
Here's my list... -Comedy/Comedians (Especially correspondents from the Daily Show! My favorites are Demetri Martin & John Oliver.) -Jon Stewart + Stephen Colbert (I ship them like there's no tomorrow, call me crazy o:) -The Fratellis -Pirates of the Caribbean -Photoshopping/Photography -Graphic Design -Communications Design -Being a general geek. -Computers/gadgets (I'm a computer geek) -Current Events, etc... I'm a news junkie! -Politics (I hate most politicians, though. They're like realtors, sort of obligated to lie at least a little...) -Which means yes, I'm obsessed with The Daily Show and Colbert Report -Ugly Betty (I also watch Pushing Daisies, Monk, Psych, sometimes House, Scrubs, South Park, and of course TDS/TCR.) -British Accents -Hair! (I currently have black hair and turquoise bangs (: )

Ooo! Well, we share these obsession: ~ Pirates ~ Graphic Design ~ Generally being a geek ~ Politics (with little like for politicians) ~ Pushing Daisies (absolutely adore this show. I was actually thinking of making a character for someone from there but then decided I wouldn't deprive anyone else ) ~ Hair! At the moment I'm blond (three different shades) with a bright red fringe bit And some of my others are: ~ Alphabetising. I do it compulsively. My Mother & I call it my CDO (as that's then in the correct alphabetical order and fits with my OCD ) ~ Actors & Actresses ~ Joss Whedon (and if you do not recognise his name google him. The man is a freaking legend) ~ Movies in general ~ Giving my opinion. I do it obsessively ~ Gross wounds (like the one I have on my leg at the moment from a spider bite that went septic. It looks totally awesome! but that's just how weird I am )

OH MY FSM! YAY FOR POLITICS! : D Ahah. I've got a bit of a 'Crush on Obama' and... okay, I think Anderson Cooper is rather handsome. So who're you voting for '08?
And Ned/Chuck forever and ever and everrrrr! I know this is totally odd, but I just LOVE Olive. Her voice annoys me a little, but I think she is the cutest. And who /wouldn't/ fall for Ned, seriously? Emerson sometimes bugs me, but he's still the funniest!

FSM?? As in Flying Spagetti Monster? Haha! Yeah, but politics of other countries (other then the basic who's doing what confusses me no end). That having been said I'd tell you who I'm voting for but you wouldn't know em ... I don't think. I'm in South Africa ya see. Unless you already knew that?? absolutely Ned & Chuck for all time!!! I completely agree about Olive's voice. But it's been bugging me none stop since I started watching, the actress who plays Olive, what else has she been in coz I know I know her face ... and voice ... *sighs* It's driving me crazy that I can't remember. What you talking about crazy-Karen-person? Emerson cracks me up with his dryness-ness-ness-ness-ness-ness! He's hilarious. He even puts a smile on my dad's face and that takes some doing, I'll have you know.

My mother would find this hysterical if she read what I was about to write…she moans that I obsess of stupid things!!! I go through stages really, so here are my latest ones….
-Buying DVD’s (Last month I spent over £200 on DVD’s and movie sound tracks!) -Actors and Actress (These go through stages…I had a Mark Ruffleo stage, Zach Braff, Miranda Otto…)
-David Wenham (I love him….need I say more) -Kate Winslet (I own all of her movies bar 2. One has only just come in stock on Amazon while I have e-mailed the director of the other one to try and get a copy as I can not find it anywhere *sigh* -Motor sport! (It is my life! I do it at uni, work with a racing team and think I might die next weekend as the F1 season starts again!!!!) -Being a geek! (Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter….video games…fantasy books…anything!!!) -Robin Hood!!! (Ever since I was 4 I have loved the legend and the latest BBC TV series has almost killed me! I refuse to say the last 2 episodes exist and for a week I wore a black armband in mourning!!! I was not amused and the BBC felt my wrath!!!!)
Erm….that is all I can think of at the moment….like I said I go through fazes….I guess Bacon and Sausage sandwiches with apple juice can go up here as well as I HAVE to have that every Wednesday when we go for breakfast half way through workshop.

Ah, I see! xP South Africa! Isn't it all nice and... warm-ish there? Boston sucks D:
And by any chance, is it that dentist from Ugly Betty? Who was like, "Betty! You are such a chick flick!" and all that about Henry? Because I was rewatching that episode, and I was like "OLIVE!!!!!!!!!!!", haha!
Yes, yay for Emerson and his dry-ness-ness-ness-ness-ness! (I actually counted the 'ness's) But when he gets in the way of the plotline and such, it annoys me. Haha xP

Liz the Geek ... hmm ... does have a certain ring to it, doesn't it? haha! Seriously, I have known about the FSM for a while, ever since my mate said she had had a fight with her sisters that involved spagetti and that her mother called them FSM's which, upon further discussion, I discovered refered to the Flying Spagetti Monster. Of course, my mate being the fascinated by everything person she is told me all about FSMs and what not but, sorry Karen-person, not a big "believer" in the monster. (though I did have to look up Pastafarian as my mate never mentioned the name of the believers silly her) I thought it was Ugly Betty too but it's not, I'm certain I saw her in something else. Hmm ... I'll look it up quick. I love Emerson and that's ALL I'm going to say on the matter oh yeah, and South Africa is warm. Down right hot in Cape Town I've been told but up where I am it's warm. Averaging on about 28 degrees C most days with evening thunder showers with a heavy dosage of thunder in that equation. In that way, SA is rather nice.

LMAO, Robyn. i feel good now, because now I know I'm not alone!
FELLOW NARUTARD -highfive- the current manga chapters are so intense, nearly makes me cry.
and if I lost my collection of FMA. I would cry. my friend brings the manga to school and if she brought the manga with the Nina part, I would have stolen it.
and the new Willy Wonka's scary, Johnny Depp's Wonka was like a pedophile or something.
annddd.. all of those bands are amazing. Drops of Jupiter by Train makes me cry sometimes because it's just that brilliant.
YES, THAT'S HOW MUCH OF A LOSER I AM (:

Mokena's Downhome Fest and Halloween Hollow? LMAO, WTF! XD

double posting. I'm BA. unless someone else posts before moi. YAY FOR POLITICS! : D Ahah. I've got a bit of a 'Crush on Obama' -highfives- OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT. Okay, kill me, but I'm still a bit undecided. My mom's for Hillary, my dad's pretty apathetic towards politics in general ("Psh! Lies and manipulation!") So well, I'm hoping for the 'dream team', Obama-Hillary. Bound to be able to beat McCain that way!
21- Hippies. 22- Gay Rights. 23- Speaking profanities.
Woohoo! Tbh, I hate most hippies. Only a select group. I mean, most hippies, to me are Nader-loving, pot-smoking, complaining people who are all talk and no action. They say they embrace nature, yet they end up buying stuff at the local supermarket anyways. And they protest march and such, but that's pretty much it. But I consider myself a hippie. And I like myself, kinda. I try to be more action, less talk.
GAY RIGHTS! YES! Enough said. Seriously, why are people so against gay marriage? It's illogical...
And profanities... Oh man. I talk like a sailor!

I have to change my stalkerspace layout every few weeks, or it bores me. And the 'Here's an easy way to stalk me, just check what I'm about' section, I have to change like every few months.. Pictures. Don't even ask. xD
And, I know right? Talking to Nicolers is like, the best way to spend my summer nights! (No pun intended..)
I like the down home fest ): It's fun, cos I can barf on rides.. And Halloween Hollow's the best, cos you can scream and kick all you want, but the freaking monsters are still coming after you.. And who can forget the loving staff there? The monkey man. The hairy man. The african-american who sings to the songs. Sigh. We simply do love them all..
Oh yeah. And Nicolers. Gay rights. All. The. Way. I don't care if God says no to it, at least they're loving each other! (Both physically, and mentally. Yes.) Besides. Gay men are the funniest. 'Cept the one that's my husband in the play.. He's not supposed to be gay, but he is. He likes to pretend to kick people. and he says "OHMIGOSH" To much. Other wise, gay rights. All the way! Sorry God, if you're reading this << >> (Summer es Christen/Catholic, if you haven't guessed.)
