My obsession

So I tend to become obsessed with things rather easily. Eventually I move on and obsess about something else.

Past obsessions (some may argue some of these are still current):
- Music: Switchfoot, Skillet, Jonah 33, Casting Crowns, Downhere, Kendal Payne, Jennifer Knapp, Caedmon's call, U2 (I don't care that you don't like them Aaron, these are my obsessions), REM
Books: Jane Austen (and Daniel, I am too Elizabeth, so there), Tolkien, Tom Clancy, Phillip Yancey
T.V. shows/movies: X-files, Smallville, E.R., Malcolm in the Middle, Simspons, King of the Hill, Twighlight Zone, Star Wars

Current obsession is Jeremy Camp (music) and Harry Potter (book/movie)

I have been spending a lot of time here lately: www.mugglenet.com
Pretty awesome website

And now, on a more serious note, a song by Skillet that talks about obsessions


You’re my only infatuation
Don’t leave me stranded
In my obsession
My purpose, my possession
Live and die in my obsession
My obsession

Come down to me
Don’t ever say that it’s over
I kiss your feet
Worship the air you breathe
Your love, my gift
You go and I will follow
My dream, my wish
Don’t leave me here so helpless

I thirst no longer
Drenching my soul
Pour out like water

You’re my only infatuation
Don’t leave me stranded
In my obsession
My purpose, my possession
Live and die in my obsession
My obsession

Am I a lunatic?
I’m going crazy
For just a word from
For just a touch from you

And I’m exploding like chemicals
I’m going crazy, can’t get enough

I thirst no longer
I thirst, yeah
Drenching my soul
Drenching, oh

I thirst no longer
Drenching my soul
Pour out like water

You’re my only infatuation
Don’t leave me stranded
In my obsession
My purpose, my possession
Live and die in my obsession
Oh, oh, oh, my obsession
Oh, oh, oh, my obsession
My obsession

This is my prayer, that God will be my obsession.
