Do you have any strange obsessions?

I have two strange obsessions (I'm also obsessed with Batman, but I don't consider that strange since Batman is AWESOME). The first is caramel cake. I adore it. This might not sound that strange, but I don't think most people start drooling around it and start talking to it strangely e.g. "oh you delectible little thing, just look at your smooth, creamy topping and those tasty little sprinkles" and then describe is as a 'taste orgasm'.

I do. Around other people. It scares me sometimes, while other times I just don't care anymore.

My second obsession is with older women. I have been attracted to older women for as long as I can remember, though I only realised it when I was 14. What's so strange is the degree of my obsession. When it comes to women, I don't really give a damn about their looks, interests, intelect or anything like that. People have told me that I can become attracted to any woman on the planet as long as she didn't try to kill me too often. But even when I come across those rare girls who do intrest me the first thing I want to know is her age. Where most guys look at breasts, I look for signs of her age. When most guys would ask if she were single, I'd want to know her DOB. There have even been some cases where I've been intrested in girls only to immediatly lose all attraction when I've found out they're younger than me. I was well known in high school for being the guy with low standards in women, yet I find it impossible to be interested in any girl who isn't at least 24 hours older.
This even extends to my hobbies. I'd hear about video games, books, comics, anime, manga, films, T.V. shows and plays and one of the things I'd want to know is if an older woman was involved. There have even been times that I buy a book or watch a show simply because it has on older woman in the romantic plot. My interests are not limited to things involving older women, but sometimes I wonder...would I still have as many books if they had younger women? Would my favourite books, anime and manga still be the same if the men weren't younger?
People just say I'm weird. I agree. I just want to know if there are anyone else with obsessions as weird as mine.

So what I wanted to ask was: do you have any or know anyone with strange obsessions and, if so, what are they?

i am usually obsessed with something or other.

my obsessions come and go, usually lasting about a month, before my attention starts to turn towards something else.

Not meaning to sound pedantic (ok, I am) but they are not obsessions.

Obsessions are recurring thoughts. If you can't stop thinking about caramel caked and older women then you are obsessed.

Then you get compulsions where you can't resist acting upon your obsessions.

What you are talking about, sounds more like a fetish.

NOpe. They're obbsessions. I just couldn't go into all the detail because t's disrurbing, I don't feel comfortable even typing them and because I'm pretty sure I'd be suspended for a few days.

The part about older women. Older women are awesome. I've always been attracted to women who are at least 10 years older than me.

I absent-mindedly murder whole families... sorry, what was the subject... oh... that daydream was convenient to the thread!

Seriously... I have a number of them. I always cross my arms when standing still, and am one of these people who are always fidgiting, I have to be doing something with my hands. I often eat food in peculiar ways (separating the batter from any battered foods and eating batter and food separately for example) and I always follow the same route when going for a walk. I have other odd habits... sometimes I seriously wonder if I'm a bit OCD.

There is a quote in the first episode of a finnish cartoon called Pasila and me and all my friends always forget it. After that I can't stop thinking about it and I start thinking about it in an obsessed manner. After someone remembers (or checks it) we are like "no we will never forget". A week later we are wondering about the same thing.

I am obsessed with (DELETED BY THE INQUISITION) and chips. Also, using a plastic coathanger for (DELETED BY THE INQUISITION) my dog.

Also, I like (YOU GUESSED IT, DELETED)

Fill in the gaps any way you want. Post the results back and we'll see how screwed up you are.

Blue colored women. No idea why.

No, this isn't just about Cortana.

The first things that came to mind were too... graphic to mention here without invoking mod wrath.

I'm obsessed with film scores. Seriously. I can't get enough of Hans Zimmer, Vangelis, John Murphy, and the like. I'm always looking up fansites for info on their scoring careers and expanded releases of scores that I really like. There are rock and techno artists that I really like, but nothing will compare to movie music for me.

I'm obsessed.

I think its fair to say...

I played Mercenary on the Commodore 64 years ago and thought "Hey, you don't need to be an artist to make a game as it can be 3D!"

Then I proceeded to learn Microsoft Foundation Classes, C++ and DirectX in order to make my own game and found that it was so unreasonably difficult that I would be better off designing my own programming language, graphical user interface and OpenGL based game engine than use any proprietary M$ crap.

I thought that this would take 2 years work, tops.

I was wrong.

Having effectively started on my "game" in 1989, I have just this week finished the draft specification of the Graphical User Interface and the Language that everything is going to be written in. That's not implementation. That's just knowing how it will look and feel, knowing how the language syntax is parsed and what its semantics are and how I would probably implement its feature set. It is all possible, but there is still a ton of work to be done. So, yes...

I'm obsessed.

However, what a lot of videogame developers keep secret is that programming games (i.e. building fictitious environments that operate autonomously according to their own rules) is more satisfying than playing most games - including: Peter Molyneux 'God" games.

Noses. I just like noses. Plenty of nice ones around, too, so it's a gratifying little obsession.
I thought that read nooses first time I looked at it. Now that would be a quirky obsession. Not that noses are not, of course.
Not really. Auto-erotic asphixiation anyone? Anyone?
