Obsession? Or Not?

According to Merriam-Webster the definition of obsession is:

Main Entry: ob·ses·sion

Pronunciation: \äb-ˈse-shən, əb-\

Function: noun

Date:1680

1: a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling ; broadly : compelling motivation
2: something that causes an obsession ((LIKE TWILIGHT STUFF?))

— ob·ses·sion·al \-ˈsesh-nəl, -ˈse-shə-n^əl\ adjective

Then, I decided to look it up in the thesaurus:

Entry Word: obsession

Function: noun

Text: something about which one is constantly thinking or concerned
is a movie star, Robert Pattinson, who she thinks is very handsome>
- see fixation
(I added which movie star, **giggle**)

I was confused until I realized that obsession is a 'thing' & obsess is the 'verb':

Main Entry: ob·sess

Pronunciation: \əb-ˈses, äb-\

Function: verb

Etymology:Latin obsessus, past participle of obsidēre to frequent, besiege, from ob- against + sedēre to sit

Date:1531

transitive verb : to haunt ((LIKE A VAMPIRE??????)) or excessively preoccupy the mind of, obsessed with the idea
> intransitive verb : to engage in obsessive thinking : become obsessed with an idea

So this brings around my question of the day: Are we truly OBSESSED with all things Twilight?

Uuuuummmmmmm????.................................................HELLZ YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or at least I am. So I decided to look further into the idea & retrieve some proof that I am for sure over the deep end. Where else to turn but to the numbers, because numbers never lie right? Now I realize that I may be mildly obsessed compared to others. So, prove it. Just keep in mind, I have only been lost in the Twilight Fandom for about 6 months. How did I get lost you ask? You can read my twintroduction here. So when we compare I know, I know, that many of you have been lost in this obsession for YEARS longer than I so I salute you & I'm a tad bit jealous too!

So here is some of my proof in numbers:

• 24: Twilight Blogs that I subscribe to in my Google Reader
  
• 163: Fan fiction links I have saved on my Crackberry to read later (gulp)
• 30: Pictures I have saved on my PC (this is low b/c my family makes fun of me & we share this computer)
• 22: Twilight songs on my Crackberry that I found on Limewire when I searched for any Twilight Soundtrack songs
• 22: (more) Songs on my CB that have been inspired by Twilight videos, fan fiction, & the like
• 151: Sites that I have Bookmarked on Firefox alone
• 18: Links I have saved on my CB that refer to Twilighty things
• 57: Stories I have favorite'd on Twilighted.net (read & unread)
• 333: (!!!!!!) Stories I have favorite'd on FanFiction.net (read & unread) Proof: http://www.fanfiction.net/~mrsrobward
• 95: Emails that refer to Twilight & Fanfic that are saved on one of my Gmail accounts that I created Just.For.Twilight.Stuff (sigh)
• 75: Emails that I saved on my original Gmail account before I created the other one
• 36: out of 45 people I follow on twitter that are Twilight related Proof: http://twitter.com/Mrs_Robward
  

So, this is a partial list. I think I went over the main stuff. Just keep in mind that when I refer to Twilight & Twilighty things it covers ALL the bases: EVERYTHING!!!! A lot of my bookmarks refer only to that hunky British actor that I dream about, ahhhh, drool................ But anyways, I didn't categoriz'em.

You got me beat? Comment below & show us your numbers.

Remember you are among friends & fellow obsessed Twihards. Would we have it any other way? I think not!

Peace. Love. Twilight.
