I'm sick today, so I'm watching lots of TV and doing caligraphy.
Current favorite--Dr. G, Medical Examiner. I'm obsessed with this show! I love any docs about medical stuff or oddities--conjoined twins, rare diseases, birth defects. I think I have a problem...
So...what odd things are you fascinated by? Serial killers (a mild interest of mine)? Weird sex fettishes? What intrigues you because of (or in spite of) it's strangeness?
Re: Weird stuff that fascinates you
Also fascinated with that show Hoarders.
I'm interested in understanding the urge to kill someone else--not because I want to do it (or, not most of the time, anyway). I just can't imagine feeling such a strong urge to murder that I'd do it repeatedly.
Sex fettishes interest me because I'm always interested in how far people go. Everyone looks (to a certian degree) normal on the outside--what makes them tick on the inside? This can be extended to just knowing intimate details of people's lives in general. Do you walk around naked? Pick your nose? I always wonder what happens behind closed doors.

Isn't he friggen <em>sexy!?</em>
Why can't Dexter just win the emmy for best drama already anyways??? It's been an awesome show forever, and it drives me nuts that the same shows win year after year.
Ahhh good to know im not crazy! LOL
I'm also interested in sexual fettishes. I have a few friends who are Doms and they tell me their stories all the time. It's amazing the things people are turned on by--some totally innocuous and others really, really crazy. I really want to know what draws someone to that stuff--what about rubber suits or having your balls crushed is sexy? So strange

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Weird stuff that fascinates you : You've got to start watching Season 4. I was the BEST yet. Seriously. John Lithgow plays an excellent seriously creepy dude.

Yeah I've heard that from pretty much everyone! Ha!
And also, mental hospitals. Because they're creepy.

I'm also intrigued by all things paranormal. I've never personally had an experience with anything but I love to hear others accounts.
[QUOTE]I love to watch all the medical documentaries as well! The more rare the problem the better! This may stem from me being a nurse though. My fiance hates when I call him after work to tell him about my day. Apparently I have no filter and gross him out on a regular basis. lol. I told him to get used to it, he has 50+ years to look forward to! :) I'm also intrigued by all things paranormal.

me too, Nicki! what kind of nursing do you do? I work in NICU and I hate to admit it, but I kinda like when we get something out of the ordinary--it's terribly fascinating. But not that I wish it on anybody--some of it is really sad.
The universe. I could sit for hours and think about life and how it works and how we're here. Not in a religious way, just how our bodies work and nature and whatnot.
Whisky's meows. Is he actually saying kitty words? Is he speaking sentences in his head and thinking I'm an idiot when I don't understand?
The male anatomy. It's only recently that I've been able to look and not feel anxious or panicky and that's a brand new fascinating feeling for me.

Yes, this too. Sometimes Baxter will give me a crazy look and I wonder if he's thinking, 'STFU you sound crazy right now." when I'm using baby talk.

last night when I got home from work I was standing by the pantry getting stuff for dinner, and Whisky literally batted his dish against my foot wanting more food. When I looked down he let out this long, drawn-out double meow thing and all I heard was "Servant girl, give me more food. Now. Or I will break this dish on your foot."
