2: something that causes an obsession ((LIKE TWILIGHT STUFF?))
— ob·ses·sion·al \-ˈsesh-nəl, -ˈse-shə-nəl\ 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**)
- see fixation
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:
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.
