If you're obsessed with something inanimate, say, for instance, a space (and I mean really obsessed - dreaming about it, staring at pictures of it, brooding over it), is that obsession is a sign of ultimate rightness? Or, rather, is it indicative of an unhealthy fixation from which one should probably abstain?
Thoughts?

staving off the crotchety old b*tch within
I was once teaching ESL in Las Vegas; this was after leaving one grad program and before flaking out on another. The class was held in the North Paw of the Sphinx right outside the Luxor. Seriously. Anyway, one of my students was writing an essay about his experiences in the US, and he was very disappointed that he was too old to attend high school. Even so, he remained optimistic and said, "Still, I have happy."

wow. obsessed. you?
Who'd have thought I'd fixate on something? SO unlike me.
just so you know, i made a very witty and insightful comment in regards to your obsessed post...but then the computer at our hotel in Guatemala was not cooperating...you'll just have to take my word on how profound of a comment i made.
