			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I miss the days when I was a crazy fangirl, Googling every shred of media and information I could find, building fansites, browsing and creating my own fanart, stalking forums, digging up sheet music, hoarding official artwork&#8230;etc.</p>
<p>To the best of my memory, I made a list of my obsessions over the years. These might not cover everything, but if I don&#8217;t remember it, I guess I wasn&#8217;t that obsessed.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Grade 7-8</strong>: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digimon">Digimon</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailormoon">Sailormoon</a><br />
I made fansites for these. The <acronym title="Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon">BSSM</acronym> one never got anywhere, but my shrine to pretty-boy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_%22Matt%22_Ishida">Ishida Yamato</a> actually grew to mediocre success. No, I will never show you either of these. Of course, Sailormoon spawned fanart like no tomorrow. Just look at the <a href="http://mangastyle.net/artbooks.htm">artbooks</a>! Bee-yoo-ti-ful&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>Grade 9-10</strong>: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy">Final Fantasy</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VIII">VIII</a> in particular)<br />
Still love this series, and have a metric ton of graphics/official artwork&#8230;etc on my computer.</li>
<li><strong>Grade 11-12</strong>: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_rings">Lord of the Rings</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legolas">Legolas</a> in particular)<br />
I drew some fanart, but I think the greatest feat was actually getting through all 3 books, <em>The Hobbit</em>, and <em>The Silmarillion</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Minor obsessions</strong>: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruits_basket">Fruits Basket</a>, Arthurian legends</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>First year</strong>: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdorm_Boys">These guys</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_to_the_sky">Fly to the Sky</a><br />
I loved being able to obsess over them with Lily &#8211; we each got a &#8216;guy&#8217;. We literally Youtubed every single performance/video we could find of them. And then made some wallpapers.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Minor obsessions</strong>: Collectives (you know, those uber-girly &#8217;boutique&#8217; domains with insanely-difficult-to-find navigation. Many are dead with the arrival of Web 2.0, but <a href="http://ainoyume.net/">here</a> <a href="http://mycurry.net/">are</a> <a href="http://immortalised.net/">some</a> <a href="http://rinoa.nu/">pretty</a> <a href="http://fenali.net/">examples</a>), <a href="http://thefanlistings.org/">fanlistings</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_chou">Jay Chou</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Second year</strong>: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_hearts">Kingdom Hearts</a><br />
Yyyyyep, more fanart :D</li>
</ul>
<p>So you can pretty much conclude I was a typical nerd/geek. I find it sad that I don&#8217;t have anything to fangirl about these days. I haven&#8217;t played any video games of epic proportions recently, and I stopped watching anime a few years back.</p>
