One of my favorite movies is Down to You and I just love the part where they pschyoanalize each other and ask what are each others vices. So I figured why not ask you all what yours are. Mine consist of…

- Pouting
- procrastination
- computer
- fruit jammers
- LIVE
- Sleep
- my hair
- daddy’s money
- pizza
- the mighty tiki god 😃

So everyone what are your vices?

- smoking: so far so good on quitting, but I’ve quit before and relapsed.

- SDMB: can’t figure out if this is a full-fledged vice, but I’m enjoying it so much it probably is. _sigh_

- sleep: my highest form of self expression. When the going gets tough, this toughie goes takes a nap.

- reading: I love it so much I do take it to excess. When engrossed in a book it preoccupies my mind at work; don’t even _hear_ the phone while reading, etc. Sorry, world, I’ll catch up with ya later.

- stubborness: takes forever and a week for me to get genuinely mad, but when I finally do, it’s all over. Solid granite and ain’t budgin’. (Erosion _might_ work, but only if you have geologic time spans to spare.)

This is getting depressing.
