Putting things back together.  Everyone takes things apart, I was not happy till I put it back together and it worked.  I was also obsessed with taking things that did not work and making them work.  Some might think that's a boy deal, but me, I just thought it was honoring the workers who put it together.  Odd, now I work on vintage Marshall amps and vintage guitars.  Weird eh?
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

My imaginary friends. No one could play hide & seek like I did.  8)

I'm so glad I was not taking a drink when I read that!! That made me laugh.

I was obbsessed with formations - kinda weird. Or maybe a lot weird   :-\  I would take pennies, pins, pepples or whatever I could find, it did not matter as long as I could find a lot of  them, and I would line them all into different types of formations.

Pretty boring really, in hindsight.

LEGOs, animals, dinosaurs, building things, playing with dirt, hot wheels cars...  I was a "tomboy" when I was little.

But I can't lie, I also loved horses, stuffed animals, and dolls.  I still have all of my beanie babies in my closet.

Heh, was?  ;D Knights FTW. Combining heroic, epic, and manly into one perfect ideal.

Okay, I must admit that I am still quite fond of knights. Epic, heroic, and full of sword fights.

I did a lot of this too! I liked arranging and grouping things. For instance, pennies could be sorted and arranged by date, colour, dirtiness, portrait version, etc...  Although maybe you made artistic formations, and were less into compulsive categorization?

I loved animals, especially birds and snakes. I really wanted to be a vet until I found out I'd have to hurt animals to help them; I couldn't bear the idea of that.

Also, toy cars (like Hot Wheels), and anything that let me build stuff (electronic kits, toy construction sets of any kind, etc.).

No, not artistic. I did not group by dates but would by shiny / color and stuff.

Cutting off the heads of dolls,
putting them on other dolls.
And ninja turtles.
I was such a little boy.

my obsession, believe it or not.
what BRATZ dolls. haha.

i had a little case for them and everything, and i would yell at anyone who tried to take intems out of it, or undress the doll for a new outfit. i think i was more concerned about the case being disorganized, rather than the dolls themselves.

its funny how we grow out of such things so quickly, and we look back and think "wow, i cant believe i did that". haha.

its shameful, i know.

My childhood obsessions in no particular order were: dinosaurs, ballet, planes, drawing, warhammer, trying to make mutagen with my home chemistry set, dragons, witchcraft, trying to open portals to another dimension with my mind (i failed...lol), comics, fantasy fiction and science fiction.

I think that's about it, tho I'm sure there are some i've missed.

Music music music. I started my 'record' collection when I was about 3 (ABBA Arrival) and it became a means for me to escape reality. I would save pocket money or con my cousins out of theirs to put towards my habit. If I couldn't afford to buy music I would tape it off the radio and play it again and again even though it was pure crapola. How's the obsession today...hmmmmm I am still in denial! :D

I had a few phases (some that I still have lol)

I loved little plastic toy dogs. I used to collect them until I lost most of them somehow
I then went on to falling in love with everything Sonic the hedgehog and I still love everything Sonic lol.
I then went football (soccer) crazy but my dreams were crushed when I all the boys never gave me a chance to really play (I was the only girl on the team)
I then loved karate, had two lessons, then quit lol. That was a short phase
I then tried skateboarding. I still love it but i dont tend to do it anymore. I prefer to just watch now lol.
