damn, I lost my number and I lost my head.

Everyone has those odd little patterns they fall into, right? One of mine is having summer obsessions--things that I end up liking and they inadvertently end up taking over my summers. It's weird, but it just kind of happens.

I think my first thing like that was writing a book, or attempting to write one. I was about seven or eight the first time I tried this. I'd write for about two weeks before eventually abandoning whatever it was. Then I started listening to music, so I spent one summer watching Pop Up Video whenever it'd come on VH1, and that included me pretty much refusing to move when they ran a marathon one day. Then came the Backstreet Boys/*NSYNC years, so summer meant watching TRL and reading really bad fan fiction (and, yes, even writing some of it--like the one about various members of both groups being vampires and slayers, and me being one of the love interests. Basically, if Twilight had come out in 2000, I would've loved the hell out of that book).

Then in 2002, after watching the first Spider-Man movie, I was kind of crazy over Tobey Maguire, and in '04 I was all about Jake Gyllenhaal and the Olympics. Three years ago, it was Lost (lots of time was spent coming up with theories, rewatching the finale on video, playing a redshirt in a RP based on the show, and reading an absurd amount of fan fiction). Two years ago, it was Supernatural (which resulted in me mainlining the series in about a month and reading lots of fan fiction--notice a pattern here?) and RP, and last summer it was mostly POTC.

I wonder what that says about me.

I also wonder what my taste in men says about me. And the music that is currently on my Zune. I am weird and have, on multiple occasions, attempted to find correlations between the menfolk, but everything I've come up with is inconclusive. As for the music, well... I have a thing for catchy hooks, and pretty lyrics. I think that's all I got as far as that goes.

Can I just say that the youngest famous male I have a crush on is twenty-five? And that my biggest celebrity crush is forty-three? Oh, god, are my daddy issues manifesting?

I think some people just have "obsessive personalities" or whatever. It's not a bad thing, they just do.

I remember the Backstreet/*NSYNC/Britney/TRL/fanfic days, though! Oh man. That lasted a couple summers for me, lol. Good times, good times..

at least your obsessions are confined to summer

I think summer gives me more time to obsess. Some of those obsessions tend to spread over to the rest of the year, but some tend to just be confined to the warm months for some weird reason.
