Gurzilla has tagged me with a meme on obsessions. I don’t really consider myself to be an obsessive personality. In fact, when I’ve tried to be wholly fixated on something in the past I’ve lost interest and jumped to the next thing. I’ve always admired those that can stick with something they show an aptitude for and then become really very good at it. So I’m going to give my 5 things I’m a little pernickety over, and things I thrive on…(as close to obsession as I get).

1. Colour matching pegs with the hue of the clothing item being hung on my washing line. This can prove to be a little troublesome when the only peg colours available are red, blue, white, and a couple of yellow/green here and there. But I manage.
2. Op shops… I’m a chronic op-shopper and yearn for the overflowing shelves and hangers.
3. Printed Patterns. Yeah, once again not obsessive, but I do look out for them. But not girly florally ones.
4. Attempting all things art. This is where the whole “trying to be obsessed” thing comes into it. I want to express myself artistically but jump from one medium to the next and, in turn, never get good at anything.
5. One more. Um…I used to have to put my hand up to a particular bow on a tree in my garden every time I walked under it. I made myself stop though.

In turn I’m tagging… the lovely Christina (whose writing I am sorely missing), Ruth of The Green Book (whose writing I want to see more of), and my philosophical buddy Will of The Unending Quest (whose writing I love and provokes some dangerous thinking). Go get em guys.
