does anyone else go through phases?

i mean phases like bingeing on rental movies for a month or reading one mystery after another or eating only teriyaki chicken or acquiring a sudden preference for golf shoes or an interest in a certain kind of music.

so have there been any particular activities you've cycled through in your life?

just wondering

For me butterflies and moths

Prince has been a huge phase...and I still haven't completely emerged from it.

Tall sexy blonde girls too...another phase I will never emerge from.

I go through food phases. Sometimes I can't even stand the smell of certain food for a while, like chicken for instance. Other times I love it. I went through a phase of not drinking coffee for a long time, after I drank loads once and threw up. I am pernickety with food.

well i'm a life-long ornithologist.

moths and butterflies are nice. one thing i want to do is see their migratory gathering spot in mexico.

XxAxX said:

That would be cool. I bred Monarch's at home but would imagine that the Mexico gathering is awsome

i'm thinking of instituting a hair phase, going brunette with blond highlights for a change

what color is your hair now?

I go through hair phases.

I've had blonde, brown, orange, black, peach ( ) and most often red hair.

I also go through music phases where I only listen to one artst for a week or so at a time. Right now I'm in a New Order phase (cause I just picked up their new boxset!) and loving it!

I also go through morning beverage phases. For a while, it was Chai Tea every morning. Then, I had a cherry coke every morning when I got to work. Now I get a caramel mocha latte every morning on my way to work. In the summer, Im thinking it'll switch to some iced/frozen coffee concoction. Who knows?

*Eating a bananna after school for a month..got sick of it..Only drinking orange juice or any other juice (I can't stand water, milk or pop)..Putting everything back where I got it..that didn't last long, and the phase where I would only listen to Jimi Hendrix..that lasted a week.*

I go through music phases. I got sick of the commercial crap and started looking in the Jazz section. I've actually started a really good Miles Davis collection by doing this.

hair phases:

it's a pretty short buzz and natural color now, but for the prior 2 years it changed regularly -- blonde, platinum blonde, champagne blonde, raspberry beret, purple haze, midnight blue, whatever.

prince phases:

i usually get hooked on a particular album and play it over and over till I can't stand it. then I switch to another. likewise, the non-prince stuff I listen to follows the same pattern.

drink phases:

right now about the only alcoholic beverage i'm interested in is red wine -- preferably cabs. Before that it was mojitos. Before that apple martinis. Before that red bull and Absolut mandarin (which I had for the first time at Prince's Studio 54 aftershow in Dec. 2000!). Before that, Tangeruay and Tonic.

food phases:

right now lotsa Turkey on/whole wheat, yogurt w/cottage cheese, plain baked potatoes. not long ago i gave up meat for about six months.

prince.org phases

i'm in one now. i've spent more time here this week than ever before in the 4 years I've been a member!

i started out last winter and it was a phase

now uhhh i guess its graduated to a relationship

XxAxX said:

Oh heyyylll yeah. I'll listen to one album, or one artist/group for months on end, if I'm in love with it/them enough. And there won't be room for others to take my attention away.

I'll drink Cream soda or pineapple/coconut juice for weeks on end at lunchtime before I give it up for a while.

Because I sometimes don't eat enough fruit I'll eat an orange and apple every night after dinner or every other night to make up for it for a while.

I have excercise phases where I consistently get into muscle toning, then run at the lake instead until that novelty wears off. I try to balance it, but with some things I'm a person of extremes.

I got other phases but those aren't for the Org's eyes.

The KINGS English requires that to be "pernickety"...so I'm wondering why you discarded the Queen's English of "persnickety"? You got some 'splainin to do, Lleena!

For the past two days I have listened to only ONE song... Ballad of Dorothy Parker. I'm not really sure why, but it's on repeat in my Discman. I think it's helping me through.

org phases, of course...

Phases where I'm super creative and will write fiction and short stories up the butt. Then it wears off and I won't write again for months.

Calling my family... I will call everyday for a few weeks then won't call again for months.

I definately post in phases. Probably won't hear from me for a while. Chemistry calls...

i'm going thru a phase right now. i'm ready for Prince to be in a brand new phase that will put him right back in THE BIG TIME FUNK PHASE.

I decided to discard "persnickety" due to the fact that in the U.K to "nick" something is to steal it. So if you imagine that I start brandishing the word "persnickety" around, it would appear as if I was trying to nick your purse, i.e. "Pers-nickety.

That's why Yuper!

'm a profi having phases. Live phases, diffrent kinds of live phases. Somes has even a rythem.

...and there in have other phases, as such ones I do eat only : popcorn, sunflower seets, cornflakes with choko milk, cafe and small, small cola or icetea.

then, my paint phases, my music, tv and NOTHING phases (the lasts I do love special!)
