Do you have/had any obsessions?

.... Or strange habits or strange likes or dislikes which you think aren't the norm?
Or maybe there was a strange phase you went through? Did you?
Thinking about it, I did go through a weird phase. I was in my early to mid teens. Not a child exactly and still not an adult.
I was obsessed with two things. First was the boy King of Egypt, Tutankhamen. It wasn't a weird thing though. Many were/are fascinated by his life, death and the mystery surrounding it.
The second obsession was weird though. I was obsessed with the words "mew" and "meow" to the point that I will sometimes answer in meow.
When my friends were scribbling little hearts around their names and crushes, I was literally filling my notebook writing "meow" all over the place.
Whenever I bought a new pen/pencil. Guess what word I wrote first to check if it's working or not? LOL! Yep "meow" I will trace it in the dust and the condensation on cold things like bottles, glasses, etc...
It became so bad that my bro started calling me "Kitty" and teased me relentlessly.
I still write "meow" when I check if the pen is working or not.
But it's not bad anymore. LOL!

That reminds me....my siblings said they could tell who I was impressed with at the given time as I would develop facial features similar to that person!
But surely that was not a 'habit'...

@hora_fugit So you used to develop facial features of that person? I have not heard that before.

@jaboUK I know, right? I don't know from where and how this habit came to be.
I may not be as obsessive with it now. But I am not completely over it.

You're right, we all do go through phases. I wouldn't call yours too bad. I'm sure there are worse things than writing meow on everything.
My strange phase was my make believe friends. I just needed someone who liked me and I surrounded myself with make believe until I started putting that make believe to better use and started writing.

@JudyEv LOL! Don't know why I did/do that. No proper explanation of that as of yet.
Oh that getting stuck on things I have seen in my brother.

@texch40 LOL! That reminds me I used to imitate cat's sound when I was really little. Maybe from there this weird thing with "meow" came.

@VivaLaDani13 I think if we ever came face to face, you will smother me by hugging at every stupid-silly thing I do or say. That's scary!

. I'm trying to think if I had any strange habits, but can't come up with anything at the moment.
