The Ariella Obsession loop.
ariella4ever (2:24:38 PM): explain the ariella obsession loop process.
ariella4ever (2:24:49 PM): it's so funny
PanzerJas (2:25:33 PM): Ok, Areilla sees something interesting on the net or in the library and goes "OOooooh"
PanzerJas (2:26:20 PM): Then, we enter the preliminary obsession stage, marked by "Jason, when do you get paid" and followed by "When does the mail get here?"
PanzerJas (2:27:34 PM): Then, we reach the primary stage, where suddenly, Jason finds himself seeing strange things in the kitchen, smelling strange things in the hall and playing guinea pig/model for Ariella.
PanzerJas (2:29:03 PM): This is then followed by the secondary obsession loop, where Jason finds it's harder to get time on the computer, because Ariella's got 5 tabs open on Firefox all running down even the minutest lead concerning the subject of her latest obsession....whereupon this can and often does, fold back into the primary stage.
ariella4ever (2:29:34 PM): lol!
PanzerJas (2:30:06 PM): Then, we come to the decision tree, either a) Ariella's new obsession has met positive acclaim for all concerned, and a new aspect of it has beeen discovered, and thus, feeds back into a new primary stage, or b) it is quietly forgotten, sold off and used to fund the next obsession loop.
PanzerJas (2:30:24 PM): (best narrated by John Cleese)
PanzerJas (2:30:53 PM): Glad to have amused you
