I said to Wayne the other day

1) Coffee-Drink it every day. Definite addiction
2) Email/Myspace-Definite addiction, but not as bad right now
3) Shower-Small addiction, but if I don't get one I'm unhappy
4) Phone Calls-Unless Im really busy, I have a small addiction to my afternoon phone call from my friend during lunch.
5) Crosswords-Very tiny addiction to crossword puzzzles from Star magazine before bed
Okay. I don't think I operate my life on addictions now that I made that list. I think what I'm realizing is that some of these things are called "habits" (am I slow right now or what), but in reality, they're just small versions of addiction without the negative connotation. Like I could give them up. So I wonder, is any relationship free of addiction to the person?
I totally believe that life is best with at least one really strong addiction. I'm not saying it's healthy, but it's more fun getting through.

I guess I feel like it's good in a way in that it can be a distraction. For people Like Us (and I'm doing it this morning) who obsess about things and drive ourselves crazy with repetitive thoughts, we might need that to not go completely bonkers. That dumb tv show after work, that bike ride, that piece of fried chicken, they all distract me from some things I might not be able to handle at that immediate moment. I wish I had a distraction last night.
