Lurking in the dark recesses of my mind, there lives a MunKiE, a MunKiE named lou. lou has a lot of notebooks because lou is obsessive-compulsive and feels the need to record every-fucking-thing in the history of the world. he also feels it necessary to dwell on various and sundry random things that recur in my life. and before you now is the heretofore unseen "punkwitch's obsessions" notebook of said MunKiE...enjoy...and be afraid...be very afraid...they let me roam free
first and foremost, i am a child of the eighties. i grew up in the days of the original nintendo...when mario was just 2d and didn't make you dizzy to play. therefore, i have several obsessions that are rooted in that time...
ummm...okie...let's see...music...
Books and Authors....yeah baby...
Movies...
TV
Cartoons...yes, they have they're own section
