30 Day Writing Challenge 3 - 7/28: Obsessions


Bonus points if you remember this song AND the name of the group who sang it!

I don't have many obsessions but the ones I have are deep and abiding.

Music: like you didn't expect me to say that. My thing is that when I focus on an area of music, I delve and stay there a while. I listened to Jackson Browne for 6 months solid. Britpop of the 80s (Cure, Depeche Mode, Roxy Music, etc.) for months on end. And for the better part of the last year, my musical brain has taken up long-term residence in Seattle in the '90s, with copious devotion to the tunes of Soundgarden, Chris Cornell, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Mad Season, etc.  But I am also obsessed by sharing music with the world, whether singing songs written by others or beginning to write my own music. 

Jewelry: oh my... I never imagined it, but I have become a jewelry fiend. Bracelets galore. Necklaces enough that I call it the Mister T Starter Kit. Earrings by the bookoo. It's like when Mama passed, her love of jewelry somehow passed into me, and ..... well, I have a crapload of jewelr making supplies. I've made a few sets of earrings, a couple of bracelets, and a couple of pendants. I can't wait to make more!

Books: you don't even want to know how many books I have in storage. I've got five at the moment beside my chair. I'm not counting all the ones I haven't moved out to storage. Oh my.....

Concerts: well, this year anyway..... Three down, two for sure to go, and one that I want to see soooooo badly, I can taste it!!!

Maddox: my sweet little buddy. 

These are just a few of the topics that rev me up and get my motormouth going.....
