I have a huge obession with fictional crime and thriller books. I cannot get enough, especially Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell, Elizabeth George, and J. L Carell. But my all time favourite crime series is Lynda la Plante's Anna Travis books. I have read those books so many times it is unhealthy.

I love movies and watch the same ones over and over. It drives my Mother crazy! My personal favs are: The Bourne Trilogy, Taken, Body of Lies, RockNRolla, Sherlock Holmes (2010), Robin Hood (2010), Proof of Life, and Dorian Gray (2010).

I am not a huge TV person, but I never miss The Amazing Race, American Pickers, Cities of the Underworld or Survivor.

My gulity pleasure is watching reruns of Relic Hunter. A tv series about a professor who hunts for ancient relics. Great fun!

Regardless, my true obession remains The Tudors… I go on for days, but I digress!

Books–I read a lot of young adult stuff so that I always know what my students are talking about (even though I'm 30).  So, I'm reading the House of Night series (which is sort of going downhill IMO, but I started it and now I have to finish it), I just started Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Twilight (which my students got me started on), The Mortal Instruments Series and the Infernal Devices Series.  Outside of that, I read a lot of other random books.  I like books full of completely senseless knowledge like almanacs and I just finished a book called The Disappearing Spoon which was about the history of the elements on the periodic table.  

TV-Supernatural (sorry, Sam and Dean are just hot) and reality shows that involve specific skills–not the ones that are just show up and don't get voted off (like, Top Chef, Project Runway, etc.)

Movies–Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio (not because he's attractive per se but because he's really grown as an actor since his Titanic days and I respect that), Stanley Tucci (for the same reason as Leo) and Star Trek.  I was never really able to get into Star Wars, but I appreciate it from the sci fi point of view.

I LOVE any topics that are holistic in their approach–as in, they incorporate, not just, say, science, but the history of what was going on at the same time.  Those are so much more fascinating because you truly begin to get an understanding of WHY things went down politically and historically the way they did.

I've always been fascinated by the occult, even though I'm not sure what I believe about it. Tonight, I went to a paranormal gathering held in a local historic home said to be haunted (Hannah House in Indianapolis). The psychic (Michelle) is the sister-in-law of a friend of mine, so we both went. It was interesting. They say that the attic and the basement appear to be the most 'active'. The caretakers of the home were there and said they really didn't know of anything that might have happened in the attic, but the basement is a whole 'nother story.

The house had been a stop on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. Apparently, one of a group of slaves waiting to go on to the next stop had accidentally knocked over an oil lamp, and the resulting fire killed many of them. The owners were able to keep the fire from spreading beyond the basement, but what to do with the bodies without revealing what the house was really being used for? So they buried them in the basement and the hauntings began.

Besides a tour of the house, the psychic spent about an hour reading our auras and fielding questions. She also told a few very surprised people that they had spirits 'attached' to them and following them around. I asked her if I did and she said, “Nope, you're by yourself.” GOOD.

Michelle says not all psychics see the colors in an aura the same way; that two different psychics could attach different meanings to the same color, but that she 'knew' what each color meant to her. When she found out I was coming, she said she had been very apprehensive about seeing my aura because she was afraid it would show health problems or negative energy, but said she was relieved that it didn't. (she knows about my cancer)

My aura, per Michelle

A lot of blue, meaning I'm a smart-aleck. That cracks me up for some reason. Also, some green, which indicates healing or health issues. The green seems to be only on the periphery in the process of 'leaving' my aura, which means that I'm becoming healthy again after having had a health issue. She also said that the healing is related more to mental/emotional issues than physical. Yes, cancer messes with your head, so that fits. It's been a year and I'm just now starting to unclench.

My aura, per Michelle's brother

He said I was going, going, going all the time (mentally and emotionally), but it wasn't a bad thing. It's just who I am, and I shouldn't try to stifle that. He also told me I was a caregiver, and that my hobbies and interests are “everything”. He also said I liked to start things, but I wasn't so good about finishing them.

I think they both pegged me pretty well!

History is the obsession, historical fiction & non-fiction, writing alternate history, the contraversial women of history… And other than that there's language, education, animal rights, vegetarian/veganism, law, politics, religion, books, Karma and reincarnation (I'm Buddhist by choice, nobody else in my family is), bookstores and England…

I'm also obsessed with World War Two Aircraft….my uncle was a navigator with the famous Pathfinders and he flew in Lancaster bombers. My mother used to me about his missions and then as I grew my obsession started.
I feel very lucky to have actually been in the famous Lancaster bomber “Just Jane” at East Kirkby so to actually sit in the place my uncle would have done was a very moving experience for me.
My other obsession is geneaolgy, I've managed to get back to around 1640's on one side, but it's hard going!
All my hobbies and interests are history 🙂

DH is intereasted in WWII aircraft. I prefer WWI aircraft. Just seeing how frail some of them were makes me more proud of the fledgling RAF and our pilots.

 

Have you read Spitfire Women Of World War II by Giles Whittell? It`s about female pilots who delivered the planes from the factories to the flying fields.

I'll definitely look out for that book, I recently watched a fantastic programme about women delivering WW2 aircraft to various bomber stations and that was very interesting.
I forgot to mention I'm also football crazy 😉

Well I'm basically a history fanatic. But while Anne is my top, top obsession, I do have others…the Tudors and Elizabeth I come next, then the Romans, then the Greeks, then Eleanor of Acquitaine, then Marie Antoinette, then the Egyptians, then King Arthur and the Arthurian legends, and then the Romanovs. Unrelated to history, I'm really into animal rights, community service, Harry Potter (I know, I know), reading, and writing.
