I have an obsessive personality. This is nothing new to me--I've always been like that since I was a kid. When I find a song I dig, I will listen to it over and over again. If it's an author, I will run out and buy all of his/her books. I stick almost religiously to certain radio stations and even pick out the same food at restaurants every time when I know I love it.
My most recent obsession is browsing Craigslist. I love reading the listings for jobs, especially finding the ones that are creepy or totally scammy. I also LOVE looking at the ads of people looking for romance/love/hookups/etc. My fav to date so far was someone who said he would pay $18 to have a woman come clean his house nude.
Eighteen bucks? Wow, big spender! I'm pretty sure getting your house cleaned costs more than that--and that's with the cleaners wearing clothing.
So, what's your current obsession?

Obsess Much?
So, I've recently figured out something about myself: I'm kind of obsessive. Not in a if-I-can't-have-you-nobody-will kind of way. No, I mean that when I find something I like, I tend to latch on to it and find as many other things like it as possible.
Case in point:
--if I find shoes, shirts, jeans, sweaters, or other articles of clothing I love, I will buy multiple colors of it.
--if I find an author I love, I feel a strong compulsion to read everything that person has written (which I suppose is a great way to support that author, LOL).
--if I like an actor or director, I want to watch every film of theirs to see their range of skills and how I personally rank the movies in comparison to each other.
--when I find a TV series I'm into, I'll get it on DVD and watch several episodes in a row...I like getting into the narrative without having commercial interruptions.
--if there's a song I dig, I'll listen to it over, and over, and over, and over again. And when I'm burnt out on that song, I'll find another song (preferably by the same musician) to listen to over, and over, and over again...
I'm not sure why this is. Maybe it's a sort of comfort in the familiar, but still finding a way to explore something new within what I kind of already know.
Do you do this? Are there any authors, or actors, or directors, or musicians who you find are auto-buys for you? If you find clothes or shoes you like, do you run out and get the same ones in different colors? Am I simply alone in my neuroticism? hahaha. Do share!!
