I Have Taken Interest! YOU WILL NOW PAY! (Part Two)

Once again, NO SLEEP.

CRAP!

Oh, well. It gave me time to ponder more about the popularity of this post and things that I failed to put ON THE LIST OF OBSESSIONS.

Good thing I have such kind friends and family to remind me what a freak of nature I can be!

Here are some more very significant ones I added from the comments AND because stuff like this crawls around in my head until I spew it out.

• F.Scott Fitzgerald,his works (The Beautiful and Damned) Zelda, her mental sate, their life, finances, their deaths (Hers SUCKED. Contributed to my total fear of being locked in the “hospital”), and last but not least, the MUSICAL ABOUT his works, his life, Zelda and The Beautiful and Damned.
• The Secret Garden. If I ever have a girl, her name WILL be Lily.
• “The Goonies”. Did I mention I went 150 miles out of the way to see ASTORIA because of this film? Disappointed in the smell…ick.
• Spicy Nacho Doritos
• Anne Perry. Favorite Mystery Author(NOT the book, ‘Tathea’). New York Times Best Seller, Mormon, and a murderer at 15(This came before the Morman part). True Story.
• Ballet. I’ll tell you about my old “Ballet Injury” sometime…

• The Titanic (YES, I ADMIT IT!) Despite the comment I HAVE researched this since Kindergarten. When they found the ship, I ran to school to inform everyone about the great find. No one knew what the freak I was talking about except my teacher. I went to a huge “Titanic” exhibit in Mephis BEFORE the movie came out!That said, I admit that… I have seen the movie 14 times in the theater, have posed for a portrait wearing “The Heart of The Ocean”, Called a friend “Jack” after my one and only joint, that movie is the ONLY reason I knew what a piston was when Jonathan first explained the inner workings of an engine… and um…I secretly want to own the collectors edition that just came out…damn you all!
