addictions

i'm addicted to:

- apple champagne sorbet, from borders ($4.25 a pop)
- carmageddon II (this game distracts me from my assignments and a normal life)

feel free to share, so i don't feel so alone...

Forums: The Bar,

The late show, I'm addicted to it, I stay up and watch week nights except tuesday, and it is a late show, I just can't get up in the mornings because of it. But I will soldier on, as this is an addiction I wish not to break :p

okay to anyone with real serious addictions, I'm sorry to sound so blarzay on the topic.

Damn Im being missing this show because I've got a stupid job now!! grrr

* grain waves
* nzm forums
* jumpin (video game I play on mame at home)

and the usual suspects: coffee, sex, drugs and rock and roll (although I'd like to think they're life's basic necessities as opposed to any sort of uncontrollable habit).

// * nzm forums

ahh, obvious one!

apart from the obvious (nicotine, alcohol, music) i would say:

fuck ... pretty much nothing ...

although i am pretty partial to:

- anything that's bad for my tum tum, but good for some yum yum!
- complaining that i'm getting fat and pinning it down to my metabolism slowing to half rate when i turned 21

i'd really enjoy a sorbet or a gelato right about now ... damn you prozaco!

:P

CSI
the secret life of us

.... we could start a whole new topic just on addictions to tv shows.

speaking of tv shows, also downloading tv shows off the net.
On a 56K modem, that has to be an addiction.
Current favs: Futurama and The Dave Chapelle Show.

// On a 56K modem, that has to be an addiction.

i feel your pain. i've spent the majority of this weekend downloading southpark episodes over a 56k modem.

Did you get "Scott Tenerman must die"?
I let my brother download South Park episodes for me and then grab them off him.

yeah i got that one. my favourites are "krazy kripples 2", and "proper condom use".

ha, yeah krazy kripples is a flat favourite. elmo has a disturbing thing for laughing at the less fortunate.
the j-lo one is good.

*hugs his jetstream* got to love it :P

I don't find jetstream that fast

well when you download 150mb's in 10-12 minutes at approx 450kbs its fast enough for me :)

on line crib, thats why you don't see me around as much........... it will not last.

toasted onion bagels with plain cream cheese, its soooooo bad: i don't even have to order anymore, the wholly bagels guy and i are on first name basis.

Prozaco (I have a tent outside her window for stalking purposes)

Prozaco's delight in carmageddon II is a little disturbing. Sometimes you can hear this evil cackle echoing all around the Waitakeres . . . . .

// Sometimes you can hear this evil cackle echoing all around the Waitakeres

im addicted to

-kentucky gold
-NZM
-and morning coffe (im in a shit mood every day i dont get one!)

Hmmm
*Coffee
*Wine (Any red (esp cab blends, pinot), riesling, the occasional sav or pinot gris)
*Weetbix for breakfast
Incidentally, when I'm travelling, I usually carry my own emergency grounds and coffee utensils, some weetbix. Often a bottle of wine as well (good for ingratiating oneself with hosts, or keeping warm in a hedgerow).

I'm a serial procrastinator, so I usually have at least one game that I play when ever I blank out. At the moment it's the silly pinball game on win2k. Also forums, coffee, chatting, just about anything to avoid working.

*Reading. I'll read just about anything that is lying around, or in front of me. Basically I'm an Information Slut.
*Music. A stereo on in every room I'm occupying.
*Running shoes. I do have dress shoes, but ahhhhhh, comfort wins.
*Cheese. Mmmmmmm cheese.

ditto.
all of the above.
except the weetbix.

// Basically I'm an Information Slut.

I prefer the phrase 'Information Stud'.

mmm, mmmformation.

im an information prep

//I prefer the phrase 'Information Stud'.

That's quite good. I might use that in the future.

Im addicted to: Chocolate, alcohol and wasting time watching TV while I'm meant to be doing work....so addictive...so damn addictive!

One thing u don't want 2 get addicted 2 Dog,is American Idol,cos Dog,there ain't no coming back....Dog.

HAHA -heh.

My addictions are simple:

Coffee - If I don't have one cup of coffee a day I get a splitting headache and end up feeling lethagic.

The internet - Whenever I'm out my mind eventually wanders back to the internet. I've left (boring) parties to go home to randomly hang out online.

I hate that I am addicted to both these things and want not to be.

morphine will help you kick your coffee adiction

I feel your pain robyn - caffein addiction is horrible.
You feel like shit in the morning so you drink coffee , you can't get to sleep at night because of the coffee, so........., you fell shit in the morning and need some coffee.......
The stuff should have a health warning.
try having a hot cup of milo in the morning - maybe you could fool your mind into thinking it's the bean instead.

as this is NZ Music forums I feel compelled to explore this topic of coffee (I feel a tangent topic coming)..

while morphine is good and dandy , coffee has many myths that must have discussion. This is because NZ coffee is kickarse. Visit Fitzroy in Melbourne and the only decent coffee is at Atomic - filled with NZ staff and NZ muso patrons.

i read recently: coffee on the morning helps your brain fire off earlier in the day and actually helps you sleep at night.
there are 800 chemicals+ in a cup, 20 have been thoroughly tested and 16 were lethal on rats in high doses.

i gave up coffee for 3 months, had the headaches after 2 days and lasted for a week. Then i felt ace for the rest of the time. But they pulled me back in, those Nikau devils, making the supreme madness cast its dirty dirty nasty spell on me.

I reckon Coffee is a gateway drink.

maybe you should cut'n paste your post as a new topic.

Coffee might increase brain activity in the morning but here has to be a cost. If your brain starts using more energy from metabolism than it normaly does then suplies are going to run out faster, thats what happens with the mid afternoon low where neurons are literally running on empty. It speeds you up and wears you out while lowering the brains (the most energy demanding organ in the body) ability to fix carbohydrates, vitamins etc for metabolism without a stimulant.

During last semesters exams I was drinking 3-4 cups of black coffee a day. It wasn't pleasant trying to recover during Christmas break. I've always needed a little caffein in some form or another to study/work but I'd do anything to be free of it.
