I think it entirely depends on the person.

Oh, before I forget, don’t forget the take the poll! What topics would you like to see covered on my website? Surely this is not a sign of an addiction? Or do you think I should google to find Animal Crossing Addicts Anonymous?

Why is it then that I’ve been accused of being addicted to gaming, with an admonishing look, pointing finger and promises of a life thrown away? This happened especially when I played Animal Crossing for 18 months straight back in 2006. I ask you, if I walk outside in the sunshine, is it so strange that when I see a butterfly I try to take out my net? Or when I pretend to not be home when I see a squirrel, fearing his name is Lyle and knowing that when I make eye contact he will want to inspect my room? Or when I see an air balloon and I wonder if I can shoot it down for a present? When I was 16 yrs old I dieted to lose a kilo or two, and now I would kill to weigh again what I weighed then!Īll of these addictions aren’t considered bad and dangerous. I’m afraid I might just have a problem there, several diets later and I only seem to gain weight. Hmm, there’s a nice tie-in with the chocolate.

Me, I like to buy what is needed, but I’d rather save my money for games. Have you read the Shopaholics books? Shopping can be an addiction too, but as long as you have the money to spend on it, it seldom leads to problems other then an overflowing wardrobe. I know some people who feel they can’t survive the winter with just one pair of new Ugg’s. So I’ll just stick to eating a lot of that, as my sporting-gene is totally absent. Looking back through my comments one caught my eye: Fellow blogger Marquessa wrote an article about how addictive blogging can be and it occurred to me that apparently there are several kinds of addiction, and the people around you will react to each one very differently.įor instance, have you heard people mentioning how running get’s their endorphin flowing through their body, making them only want to run more? People think that is a commendable addiction. Me, I like endorphin too, but I’ve heard you can get it eating chocolate.

Day 8 in our Writing101 assignment, to write something inspired by a comment I made on someone else’s blog.
