Seedy trailer parks.
I'm fascinated by them... the whole lifestyle, the down-on-our - luck-but-not-yet-out clinging to the bottom of the social ladder. The uncle who's been on COPS! three times in the same wifebeater.
The manager who sits out by the pool in an old wicker rocking chair each day, counting clumps of algae floating in the pool and drinking Lucky beer ($2.99 per case).
The struggling young mother (Candy) and her 5 year-old daughter who have the last trailer on the left in the back. She's only 20, and a string of drunken loser boyfriends take turns promising to clean up their act and marry her.
The old rusted Airstreams from the early 1950's sitting up on cinder blocks and oil drums, tilting slightly to one side; aluminum foil on the windows.
When I retire, my dream is to pack up the wife in a motor home and cruise the seediest trailer parks in the South, taking photos and interviewing the residents. This will all be boiled down to a Time-Life coffee-table photo tour... "The Trailer Parks of America".

I'm obsessed with so much I have that thing called OCD. I'm obsessed with everything having to be in a certain perfect order.
Socks have to be color coordinated, long socks in one section, short socks in another. Same with clothes my closet is color coordinated then the short sleeve with short sleeve, etc. You get the point. I know it's weird my fiance hates it.

I am not sure it's an obsession but I have ADD and for some reason I count numbers, such as on a clock, or weather temps, Cable box, and I have to urge to add them up. If they are odd numbers it bums me out. I have no control over it, just happens all the time. Go figure
by 4theyeblind on January 5th, 2007

BUT ONLY WEARS 40 pairs of these Jordans.. otherwise he collects them
by ChillWinterheart on January 5th, 2007
I'm obsessed with PC games, to be specific, Ragnarok Online. I've kept a job for the sole reason of supporting my.. er... hobby. I even saved up enough to buy my own computer [big deal if you live in a country as poor as ours] and have a monthly-paid DSL connection just for this.
by Littlemisswallflower on January 5th, 2007
My obsessions (good and bad): my weight/appearence, designer shoes/bags, photography, writing, Polly-Pockets, a certain someone [lol], glass, cruets, and I think that about covers most of it
by Simply msFortunate on January 4th, 2007
My obsession...hmmm...I have many.
Taking pictures in cemeteries. If I see a cemetery on the side of the road in my travels, I must stop and take pictures. It's WEIRD. I also go waaaaaaaaaaaay out of my way to find potentially interesting cemeteries. So I would say I am a taphophile (one who is enamored of graveyards and everything related to them).
I also have an odd lip gloss obsession. I have probably $200+ worth of lip gloss in my purse at any given moment. Add to that a healthy fascination with other forms of expensive makeup...I am a frequent Sephora mail-order customer!
Then there's the reading obsession. And the car obsession (I'm practically in love with my car. If it were legal and if my husband permitted, I'd marry my car).
I have LOTS of obsessions.

So you have personal experience there?
by Stableboy on January 5th, 2007
How could you know my life's story so well.. I was that 5 year old, sitting in a Poplar tree reading books while keeping an ever vigilent eye upon those scum bags dating my mom lest one of them become violent and need to take a knife to the thigh to cool his temper.
by wefted_wombat on January 5th, 2007
Wow! Maybe I can interview you for my book... What stories you must have.

You've called me 'Ms.Candy' before now...what are you trying to insinuate? ;)
by Carmella on January 6th, 2007
Actually I had that thought at the time this was written, but it's really two different associations. In your case, the "Candy" is triggered by "Caramel", I think. In the trailer park speech, I'm reminded of several girls named Candy when I grew up who were... um... let's just say "popular for the wrong reasons". Girls who would fit right in at the trailer park and have 5 year-old-daughters at age 20. So no real correlation to my delightful Carmella.Candy, who is never anything but totally proper!
by Stableboy on January 6th, 2007
Hmmm.
by Carmella on January 6th, 2007
I know there's more to that sentence! C'mon, out with it!... :-)
by Stableboy on January 6th, 2007
I would be pleased to help you with your book any time. I have lots of pictures of my beloved trailer and stories of living in a trailer park in a border town.
by wefted_wombat on January 7th, 2007
That's so cool! I'm embroiled in other things right now, but if and when I get serious I will look you up. Thanks!
by Stableboy on January 7th, 2007
The people really are generally nicer in trailer parks - thats what is interesting about them. Yes I have some experience from my younger days
