SDMB: “My name is Veb and…” It’s the funky reality intellectual kick that infiltrated my brain.
smoking: yeah, it’s ugly, suicidal and antisocial. I can quit any time I wanna; I’ve done it 7 or 8 times now.
books, books, more books: total immersion, don’t ever wanna come out. Bliss, comfort, challenge, refuge, all of it.
critters: can’t live in a single-species world.
Pretty serious addictions:
wine: I’m a grateful enthusiasist, determined not to turn into a bore or snob. Grapes, sun, time, human care and cleverness; killer tradition, lore and scope for enjoyment and conviviality–what’s not to like?
food/gardens/mundane stuff: Martha Stewart is a repellent disgrace, but I like growing stuff, cooking good food, taking care of folks. (My idea of home decor is so eccentric La Martha would stroke out.)
*coffee
*the internet, particularly the SDMB
*Indian food (as in India, not as in those people who were here first!)
*(please don’t laugh) Babylon 5 (as of about a month ago, YAY for weeknight reruns!)
*animal companionship
*books
*wintergreen Life Savers
There are probably more, but these are all I can come up with right now.
*Books. I know this because when I lived in Israel and couldn’t get (good) English books readily or cheaply, I would read anything I could get my hands on. I am disgusted by some of the horrible crap I read just because it was there.
My addictions are many and wide ranging and include:
[list]
[li]Tea[/li][li]Dr. Pepper[/li][li]Breathing (I tried to give that one up once, but I passed out and hit my head on the coffe table. The doctors say I might have brain damage :))[/li][li]Posting while drunk[/li][li]Terry Pratchet Novels[/li][li]The Tragically Hip[/li][li]Napping[/li]
I could go one, but I think I’ll stop now. My mutt needs a walk.
And now for something completely different…
A slight hijack, but this happens to be my 200th post. I know you can hardly contain yourselves. well simmer down now. I have a question. I read in another thread that the reward for 2000 posts is hot monkey sex. Does this mean for 200 I receive a hot monkey?. Just curious.

Corvus: hot monkey sex for 2000 posts? Who said that? Somebody owes me big time, dammit!
Coldy,
I’d haveta say I’m addicted to Beer, in the best sorta way. It’s just too goddamn tasty!
I also am addicted to Earl Grey tea in the morning; hasta be with a pinch of salt, maple syrup, and heavy cream.
And, anything with the pear, or artichoke flavor. Is there a Minister of Pears and Artichokes? Or one or t’other? Avocadoes too. I’m salivatingly at yer service, Mighty Doob Overlord…
And let just add, I would be more than willing to work overtime in order to take care of the debt you’re owed (although as to where I’m going to find a monkey at this time of night is a bit of a puzzler).
Camel Filters.
Really sweet iced tea (Arizona or Snapple).
Victoria’s Chinese Fast Food.
Playstation in all its glory.
70’s rock, current fave - Fog Hat.
Serenading my dog whether she likes it or not.
Downloading freeware - current fave LDraw.
Pesto Chicken Pizza.
New Castle Brown Ale.
Pot (inactive but still addicted).
Hmm looks like we have a number of people who are addicted to pot, a lot to chocolate, many to tobacco. That’s it, to help add to these addictions, I move to request that President dpr allow me several hundred square miles to devote to pot farming, cocolate plantations, and tobacco plantations.
Keep posting people!!!
Right now, I’m pretty addicted to my Special Project…it just keeps getting bigger and more elaborate. I think I shall experience serious withdrawal once it’s over & I have to find something else to do.
Other addictions:
E-mail
Coffee
Hot Sauce
But I did sucessfully fight and win my addiction to Gameboy Pokemon. And so far I’ve fought off the urge to order the Gold or Silver addiction. I know this is the addiction thread, but I’m sure even you addicts can be proud of me for that!
Inactive addictions:
Narcotics, Booze, and Cigarettes
Active Addictions:
Baseball (like Kyla I cannot wait for sping)
Punk and Rockabilly
Diet Coke
‘The West Wing’ and ‘Titus’
Movies (saw ‘Quills’ this morning, it rocked!)
The SDMB (but that goes without saying)
