Pepys
And then that links to my other obsession from that era - Charles II. God I went wild over this king, read everything I could about him and used to draw portraits of his ugly face.
Compared to that my obsession with Izzard is fairly normal. Oh and you asked why I worried about my fan obsession, well, it just seems like such a strange focus of energy and passion, to focus on some remote figure, rather than people or causes close to one's life. But I guess that's the point of fandom. The further away it is from one's real life, the better the dream.
But I do think that the people who really get somewhere in life are those that put all that energy and passion into their own life goals. Look at Eddie, he just seems to steam along. barreling through any obstacles in his path. Of course that probably makes him a ruthless bastard but hey, an attractive ruthless bastard, eh?
That's the secret, to be attractive in your ruthlessness, then all is forgiven.
All right, enough of my gobbing on.
Merry Christmas!
Re: Pepys
Pepys is addictive, isn't he? I currently seem to be stuck in this 17th Century obsessive thing - it's quite odd...

Hmm, yeah. I've been dwelling on this a fair bit lately, although I appear to have no coherent thoughts just at the moment. I do worry, because I have a tendency just retreat inside my own head and live there, and the fan thing kind of feeds that, for me. But ... it's also meant that I've met people I wouldn't otherwise, who've made my (real) life richer and more interesting. Balance is the key, I suppose.

Agreed. Self-belief, self-discipline, all stuff I'm not very good at. :) Not enough of a driven boy scout, I'm afraid. *g*

Too true... Merry Christmas to you too. *looks at clock* Should be still going on where you are.
