Now actually back for true and reals! And I promise not to pull this not-posting-for-months thing again. If I found I haven't posted in a while, I will find some gibberish and/or picture of a cute animal to keep you all happy.

Things I am Strangely Obsessed With Part 1

All human beings are strange. Some human beings are strange enough to make blogs. Some human beings are strange enough to make lists of their strange obsessions. Some human beings are strange enough to compile lists of their strange obsessions and post them on their blogs. For those of you who are better with visual images, please see the below:

 I made it pretty colors...

Anyways, here are some things that I am strangely obsessed with! I hope that you all have lots of fun judging me. Just remember that somehow, somewhere, somebody is judging YOU.

1. Horror Movies
I really really like horror movies. I don't mean the slasher movies like Saw. I mean those movies with ghosts or non-sparkly vampires or monsters or something. My favorite are the movies that follow the hilarious formula of a bunch of stupid young punks doing something stupid and then running around stupidly as their numbers dwindle until a not-as-stupid-as-the-rest one finally saves the day and ends the evil...

2. Alien vs. Predator
I can feel the judgment! I really liked this movie. I also liked the old Aliens movies and the new Predators movie with Adrien Brody. I also may have read six or seven novelizations from the Alien vs. Predator universe...

3. Mythology
I LOVES THE MYTHOLOGY!!! I have since I was a small hyper child (who would have been diagnosed with ADHD and put on medication if I had been born like five years later). I really love the Welsh, Scottish, and Celtic myths. My favorite mythical creature is the kelpie, aka the glashtyn, the each uisge, or other random names depending on the country. Kelpies can be deadly and occasionally eat people! Hooray! That's why I wrote a horror story about one...

4. Chocolate
It has occurred to me that this is a natural obsession for human females, so it doesn't really count as something that I am strangely obsessed with...

5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Best TV show ever! As a small blonde woman, I enjoy seeing a small blonde woman take out vampires and monsters and demons. It helps aid me in my delusions that if there was a zombie apocalypse I might actually be good for something...

6. Hoarders
This is my new guilty pleasure show. It is about these people who have psychological disorders that manifest themselves as compulsions to NEVER EVER THROW THINGS AWAY. You would not believe how much stuff can fit in some body's house or trailer until you saw this show. It is really very serious; these people place themselves and their families at risk with their desires to never throw ANYTHING away. I'm serious when I say ANYTHING. There is trash and junk and even rotting food everywhere...

7. The Bravery
Awesome awesome band. If you do not like them, you better not tell me. I would have to sick my velociraptor minions on you.

8. The belief that I can someday be, or possible already am, the QUEEN OF THE VELOCIRAPTORS
As I am the queen of the velociraptors, this is not a strange obsession but a fact of life.

9. Coffee
I have several cups of coffee a day. Fortunately for the integrity of the space time continuum and my levels of hyperactiveness, I have started drinking decaf most of the time and sticking with only one cup of caffeinated coffee a day. In the mornings. Without this beautiful and miraculous cup of coffee, I am a zombie.

10. Stopping at number ten
This is a new obsession starting now. I will never ever make lists with more than ten items again. If the list needs to be longer, then I will create part 1, 2, 3, etc.

ps: I am aware that I have many blog posts that are called "blah blah blah... part 1".
I do fully intend to do more parts to these posts, but the best laid intentions often go awry, so don't hold your breath. Please people. You need to breathe or your deoxygenated brain cells will perish and you will die.

  1. I think I shall make a similar list. Here is a preview:

    1. Venn Diagrams. Venn diagrams are awesome, especially when all of the bits are different colors.
    [and then I would put some pictures I made of Venn diagrams here]
    [and maybe more funny things about Venn diagrams]

    The point is, I like your Venn diagram.
