obsession.

ah, yes. my obsessions. when i fall in love with something, i fall in deep. it doesn't happen too often.

i've been madly in love with David Bowie since i was 10 years old. and by "madly in love" i mean i just love the man's music and his haunting voice. i discovered David Bowie when i was four when my mom rented the film Labyrinth for me to watch. i instantly became obsessed with the movie for its eerie fairy tale allure, and for the handsome goblin king. it wasn't until i was 10 when i went to a music store (back when they sold both cds and cassette tapes) that i realized that this Bowie gentleman had many, many records out. I purchased a copy of Outside, and it was then that i realized that i loved this brit and his music, and forever would. i was hooked.

my latest obsessions include...
Dragon Age: Origins.
Pendulum is very much on my love list.
Dorian Gray is way up there. (Oscar Wilde. mmm.)

i used to really love Tim Burton's work, but lately i've grown tired of his stuff. i love his dark style, but he's so predictable. i really hope he doesn't do a remake of Labyrinth. it has potential, but knowing him, he'd just cast the same actors he always casts in his films and turn the slightly eerie fairy-tale world much, much darker than it needs to be.
