Since the past couple posts have been a bit dark, I figured this week's post ought to have more levity. I invite you to list the things you've been obsessed with over the years. Now, one important thing to realize is that everybody defines "obsession" differently. I personally have a very extreme definition of what constitutes obsession. By the way I define it, I stopped getting obsessed with things in the summer of 1995 when I was about to turn fifteen. After that, I got obsessed with people on whom I had a crush (that will be the topic of next week's post). That can be a royal pain, so let's focus on the obsessions that have been mostly fun and harmless.
Here is my list!
- Fall 1986- late 1987 (age 6-7): Sesame Street
- Fall 1986- late 1988 (age 6-8): Tom & Jerry
- Winter 1986 (age 6): Santa Claus: The Movie and anything related to Santa Claus.
- Late 1988- Late 1989 (age 8-9): DuckTales
- Late 1989- Spring 1991 (age 9-10): Back to the Future trilogy
- Spring-Fall 1991 (age 10): The Simpsons
- Fall 1991-Summer 1993 (age 11-12): The Addams Family movie
- Summer 1993-Summer 1995 (age 12-14): The Russians are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!/Anything related to actor Alan Arkin
- Summer 1994 (age 13): The Rocketeer (another movie with Alan Arkin)
