I know I get completely enveloped and obsessed about every thing I do. If I want to plan a trip, I look up airfares and hotel rates obsessively up until the time I purchase a flight or book a room. I'll run scenarios and different set ups to see what gets us the best deal or whatnot. Take my foray into snowboarding. I scoured ebay and craiglist and got downright emotional over buying my gear. I cannot just let go of something if I don't finish or doesn't get done the way I want it to.
Apparently, the hubster is the same way which is completely surprising and mind blowing. He is one of the most laid back and relaxed people I know. He's always a go with the flow, it is what it is kinda guy. So when I heard him obsessing about modding an XBox 360 and finding the right one to mod, it was scary. Apparently, there are three different kinds of XBoxes you can mod and the one he bought the other day was one of the harder ones. He returned it and called every game stop in a 20 mile radius to see if any others had them in stock. He also called this morning and went to a local Gamestop to buy THREE (3!!!!) to check. Luckily, the employees were cool and let him check before purchasing. They were all the harder ones. He got me to call and check the ones by my work. Yep, I got sucked into his obsession and I'm heading to Gamestop after work to buy one for him. If it's not the right kind, then he can drive his butt back here to return it.
I've never seen this side of him before and now wish he would exhibit some of this determination (obsessiveness) in other aspects of his life. One can dream right? I am sure we'd drive each other crazy though.
