. . . one idea and nothing else . . .

Filed under: — Kari @

When I get interested in something, I like to read and find out as much as I can about it. (This may be why I enjoy being a librarian - so much information at my disposal.) It could be a new book series or an author or a TV show or a band or a historical figure . . . anything, really. Past obsessions include Dorothy Sayers, Caedmon’s Call, and Christy (the TV show starring Kellie Martin - I read a lot of fanfic after it went off the air). Lately I have had a new obsession. I have been very careful not to mention this latest obsession publicly, so don’t even try to guess what it is. I’m not going to tell you. My point is that I spend lots of time reading websites and looking up information about this particular topic. I read in secret, so Mike doesn’t make fun of me. I don’t think of myself as obsessive, but I can get really involved and lose all track of time when I am reading. It’s nothing dirty (although, reading this, it kind of sounds that way, hehe), just kind of silly. I do feel a little guilty about the time I have been wasting, so I am trying to cut back. Anyway, I know I can’t be the only one with secret information obsessions. I need support. Anyone?

    well.. I secretly stalk you while wearing bicycle shorts.. but thats really no secret I guess…..
    I have no secret obsessions.. other than liking the carpenters… :)

  2. Shelby Says:

    I have tons of secret obsessions….making colorful food,Luke Perry, Or would that be a guilty pleasure…

  3. trey Says:

    luke perry?.. LUKE PERRY!.. and I thought the carpenters where bad.. hehe..

  4. Kari Says:

    What kind of colorful food? Green eggs and ham?

    (You shouldn’t feel guilty about a Luke Perry obsession.)

    Trey, you are obsessed with Diet Cheerwine. Admit it.

  5. trey Says:

    I will not drink cheerwine in a box
    I will not drink cheerwine with a fox
    I will not drink cheerwine on a ferry
    I will not drink cheerwine with Luke Perry
    hehe..

  6. Shelby Says:

    luke perry only drinks sprite….fyi…. Oh I apparently have a reputation for making food with “colors”. However I do enjoy making red velvet cake, the kind that takes like 2 entire tubes of red food coloring!

  7. Kari Says:

    “luke perry only drinks sprite….fyi”

    And this is why I love Shelby. ha!

  8. trey Says:

    my poem was ruined by your crass comments… I am DEEPLY hurt… Im bleeding cheerwine…

  9. Kari Says:

    Of course you won’t drink Cheerwine with Luke Perry. He doesn’t drink Cheerwine. :P

  10. trey Says:

    IM Drowning here kari.. AND YOU’RE DESCRIBING THE WATER!..

    DROWNING!.. HEARTACHE!

  11. Kari Says:

    Is it really a good idea to drink Cheerwine with a fox? Or on a ferry? Your poem is very thought-provoking.

  12. trey Says:

    my soul is bruised.. Im knee deep in my own emotional squalor.. struggling for my next breath of the air of kindness.. and what do I get..

    HEARTACHE!.. nothing but HEARTACHE!..
    Heartache is NOT shelby’s favorite KARI!.. ;P

    I get on obsessive information hunts at times. My last one was voice actors.

  14. Kari Says:

    What would soothe your heartache, Trey? An evening alone with Luke Perry? Being serenaded by the Carpenters, of course.

  15. trey Says:

    perhaps a bubble bath with luke perry.. in a tub of cheerwine.. while playing the carpenters in the back ground.. yes.. THIS.. THIS is my dream… can you make this happen?.. hehe

    :P

  16. Shelby Says:

    Will the Carpenter’s be wearing bike shorts? Just wondering…

  17. trey Says:

    I dont know what the carpenters will be wearing.. what kind of question is that.. YOU SICKO!.. ;)

  18. Shelby Says:

    Sicko, you’re the one in a tub with LUKE PERRY!

  19. trey Says:

    so?..what are you saying.. that being in a tub of cheerwine with Luke Perry is wrong?…

    If lovin Luke Perry is wrong.. i dont wanna be right… hehe

  20. Kari Says:

    What about Jason Priestley? Where’s the JP love?

  21. chalee Says:

    i am obsessive, too. it started when i was in middle school and would get carried away and go through phases trying to learn as much as possible about stuff like gemstones and the history of king arthur. still happens from time to time.

    so i feel your pain.

    (obsessions about luke perry are weird, however.)

  22. trey Says:

    SHUT IT CHARLES!!.. PERRY IS MINE!..

    I have moved on somewhat from my unnamed obsession to a new shiny one. I am now learning everything [...]
