Let's start it simply, shall we?
Irish Dance (Yay!):
I just love it. I have no idea how to describe the joy it gives me to dance. I love the friends that I've made, the steps that I've learned and the difficulty of trying new things. Hard shoe could be considered my significant other, no joke. I try and go down to the basement twice a week and practice those steps. I love hearing the syncopation of the music with the sound of my feet. Someday I hope to possibly join a competition school so that I could just see how well I'd do in that atmosphere. Fun stuff.
Knowing everything on a certain subject:
Yes. It's very weird, but just something that I love to do. I love having the internet at my fingertips, if ever I want to know anything I just type it in and bam, I know all. For example last week after that horrific shooting I googled other previous shootings including Columbine and Virginia Tech. If that doesn't make you depressed I don't know what will. I ended up reading both of those wikipedia pages. I also look up actors like a crazy person, my sisters can attest to the obnoxiousness of this. Ask me anything about almost any actor and I could tell you. I know their names, pasts, other movies they're in, etc. It's disturbing. See? I told you this would get creepy.
Volleyball:
I love this sport. For the past few years I've usually played setter, but I've decided it's one of the worst positions. Your whole team depends on you, and 99.99% of the time you must touch the second ball, it's crazy but I loved it. Now I've found a new position that I enjoy much, much more, rightside. It's way more fun than having the stress of the setter and I actually get to hit! Yay! But sadly I didn't make the team this year and after having two years of the world's worst club teams I decided it was time to quit the whole institution (not to mention it's possibly the most expensive sport out there). It's been hard to get out of the constant volleyball mindset, last year it was one thing after another, now it's nothing. There are days where I'm aching to get back out on the court and touch some balls or go down to the sand courts with a friend but there's a stunning lack of availiable, willing people.
As you hopefully know, the summer olympics were actually this past summer and they were awesome. I got my volleyball release and was in a constant state of panic, hoping both the male and female beach vb teams made it to the finals. I even got my sister Kathleen sucked in, we probably lost our voices screaming at the tv. It was awesome.

These guys are pretty much my heros, they were absolutely incredible. I'm a little sad that they will be retiring from the olympics now, but they had a great few years.
One Direction (You knew it was coming):
What can I say? They are just awesome. Go ahead and judge. I'm not sure what it is about them that I like so much. I won't deny that they are attractive but they are also hilarious. They're an interesting group of boys with very different voices and they can always make me laugh. (What can I say, I'm the ultimate creep). Even though they live halfway across the world I feel like we could be great friends (I think I just barfed in my own mouth from the cheesiness I just wrote). Anyways I just think they are extremely talented boys with incredible, individual voices. I feel like I'm being constantly blown away by the boundaries and records they break. I've only been a serious fan since this past July but holy cow! I have dug myself into a serious fandom hole, and I'm not sure I'll be able to get out.
While I'm rolling myself into a cheeseball, I just want to say that I would love to meet these guys someday, they're probably at the top of my list of people to meet. I hope that if I do I will have the self-respect to not scream like little girl and that we can have a normal, human conversation. Have you ever thought about what you would talk about with a celebrity? I obviously have, I think it would be so much fun to just talk about random things that have nothing to with their job or my horrid, boring little life. When I meet a famous person I want to meet them, not just the face that they put on for the cameras. Can I also say that I am giving them credit to me coming out of my depressing, shy, little shell? I had no life and pretty much no friends, and now I've decided it doesn't matter, if people don't like me for me, they can get lost. Wow. Let's move on shall we?
Baking:

| My delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies |
Oh how I love to bake! Not only do I love to bake I love eating baked goods! (This is probably why I could lose a few pounds). I have a thing for making unhealthy, sugary but ridiculously delicious food. I would say my specialty is cookies but I've been dying to try some other things, but if I do cakes or anything like a cake I'm going to need a personal frosting decorator because this girl has no hope whatsoever in the art industry. But Someday, if you're lucky you can taste these delicious morsels of mine:)
Well That's all the obsessions I can think of. I hope you're not completely creeped out, besides if you even made it this far, you deserve a medal! I wish you luck in all of your endeavors and apoligize for this psychotic post... for the record it is midnight. Toodely oodely!!
