So I’ve spoken before about how I get addicted to things,
well I’m going to talk about another thing I do frequently. Obsess. Over the
course of my life I have been obsessed with many many things. My obsessions
generally last a month or two or at least until I have exhausted myself on
whatever I am obsessed with. Once I am done obsessing about something it generally
will forever hold a small piece of my heart.
Examples of random obsessions over the course of my life are
as follows:
- Roxette’s Greatest Hits
- 80’s Hair Bands
- Motley Crue (mostly Tommy Lee & Nikki Sixx)
- Musicals
- Angelina Jolie
- Marlon Brando
- Elvis Presley
- Richard Gere
- She’s The Man
- Flip this House
- Sam Worthington
- Cold Case Files
- Tom Hardy
- Pitch Perfect
Well you pretty much get the picture. I can’t even really
truly fully list everything since I seem to live my life in a constant state of
obsession. It’s these obsessions that I
mostly attribute my vast library of random knowledge in my head that apparently
comes in handy while playing Cranium.
I find myself as of yesterday coming into a brand new
obsession and I thought I would walk you through some of the steps.
On the weekend I went with a friend to see the new Mad Max
movie, of course I haven’t seen any of the old ones but the boyfriend assured
me that prior knowledge wasn’t needed going into the new one. Normally this
would probably have been a movie I would have waited to see at home, but Tom
Hardy. So while I watched the movie with my friend, me with my face twisted
into some mask of horror/disbelief/why-can’t-I-stop-staring and her hiding her
eyes through most of the more gruesome parts.
I walked away thinking “I really hope I don’t have nightmares about
Immortan Joe going all Cruella de Vil”
You see what I mean.
Anyways so after having to describe my feelings about this
movie to a bunch of people, which I was still unsure about – Apparently “Tom
Hardy” is not adequate feelings to have about a movie for most people - it was made clear to me that I “have to watch”
the first trilogy of movies. So I figured well they’re all on Shomi, I’m not a
big Mel Gibson fan but why not?
Seriously people! All anyone needed to say to get me to watch the
original Mad Max was “Mel Gibson is about 20 in it and he will make your
ovaries sing. I’d have been in. Seriously, if you want me to see ANYTHING
(within reason I still have limits) just tell me about the hot guy in it. You
don’t need to tell me plot or anything.
I have a LIST of men I would watch just laying bricks for 2 hours. I’m a
simple woman.
Thus I come to my current obsession – Mel Gibson. In
specific YOUNG Mel Gibson. Preferably before he went nuts. I’ve already stalked
his IMDB page read all the trivia and fun facts about him. Made a list of all
the Mel Gibson movies I want to watch, and am planning a Mel Movie Marathon in
my head. This is day 2 of the obsession. I have a feeling I may have wrapped up
my obsession in less than a month. But
until then I’m just going to keep looking at this picture
– and suffering
through all the weird Mad Max dreams I’ve been having since seeing that
movie... and by weird I mean the Mad Max/Legally Blonde mash up dreams I was
having last night.
Oh and bonus Tom Hardy wearing a muzzle 'cause that's kind of hot right?
