Mine is... well, it's... this is hard...
My name is foundling, and I'm addicted to Americas Next Top Model. I sit in front of the TV (which I claim to despise) every Tuesday night and I yell, I laugh, I cry, I mock most cruelly, I revel in my obvious moral, intellectual, and fashion superiority. And yet, I cant stop. I despise Tyra Banks with the vitriolic fire of a thousand burning hells, I pity the girls who are molded into the warped ideal of perfection that this society demands, and I laugh hysterically at the "truly deep and meaningful" confessions of shallow minds. But I CANT STOP. So, thats my somewhat shameful confession.
Whats yours?

I keep watching sitcoms I hate, despite the fact that I hate them...
It's really stupid.
Worse is watching these dumb reality shows hoping they will ne good but they never are.

Food. I know it's not good for me. It's good for other people but for me it's a bad thing. This has been demonstrated again and again. Yet even after I've given it up for months at a time, I still let myself think it's going to be different this time. This time it will be okay, like it is for other people. This time it won't make me sick.

Also hatcrack, though I don't have to say a word there. You all know what I mean.

This thread makes me happy because though I am still in base and craven thrall to some addictions, yet I have thrown others off (like tv) and can feel the winds of freedom blowing around my heart making it soar like a kite. Yet I sympathize profoundly with those still in tv's vicelike grip. Break free, my dear friends! You can do it! You can be free!

Agreeing w/ aka. Nothing good on tv anymore anyhow. Addictions/vices.....reading (anything. I know it's not scandalous), Hatcrack??? Not as much as some of you. Cars, if not working on one reading about one or planning what to get next and build, then I tend to be a little unhappy. And, like Alucard, I keep going to work averyday. I claim to hate it (because I do), but I love it all the same. The line I hear most: "What the he*& are you doing here still?"

We have begun a serious all out assault on TV addiction in our household.

We now have a rule that the television doesn't get turned on Saturdays until 5:00 pm. If the weather's nice, we should be outside doing things, like working in the yard, riding bikes, etc. If the weather's not nice, there are plenty of options like reading, playing games, etc. We had a rousing game of "I Spy" this morning with the twins.

We had to stay home from church because three of the four kiddoes have sinus infections and so does Daddy. [Frown]

WE also don't let the tv stay on during meals, we turn it off and turn on some background music and talk to each other.

All that said....I still have a confession.

American Idol. I know, I know. But, in my defense, I don't vote. I just watch the show, I haven't crossed the line into participation.

Hello Stan it has been 1 week since my last confession. I too am addicted to cars. I have bought 17 of them in the last 10 years, and I know I have a problem, but refuse to address it. Sadly, the last time I went to the dealership, couldn't make up my mind, so I bought two. I need help.

However, nothing sickens me more than the thought of how my life is inexorably tied to going to work, the whole charade of economics that forces us to be slaves to our jobs. Then again, I only have myself to blame, and buying cars will not help me in the retirement department. I am truly my own worst enemy.

Give me one, Alucard. I'll, umm... share your burden! [Wink]
 
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
 
I have another one too.

Fabric and patterns. I'm addicted to the fabric store. I like to browse patterns, then look at fabric, sometimes I even buy both.

But, my fascination mostly stops with the design phase. I like imagining the possibilities much more than I like sitting at the sewing machine and actually making the items.

Usually, I keep the fabric and pattern for a couple months, realize I'm never going to make it, then sell both on Ebay for a fraction of what I paid for them, so I can go buy something else.

It's a sickness. I'm trying really hard to stop - I'm now forcing myself to buy fabric and actually make something with it before I buy any more.
 
Posted by Alucard... (Member # 4924) on :
 
Hah! The trick is that I keep trading in the one I tire with and get another one. So right now I have 2 SUVs, a motorcycle, 2 4 wheelers, a dirt bike and a big tractor. I have numbed myself to the prospect of buying big expensive toys!

However, the new car I drive, a 2004 Avalanche is nicer than I deserve, with every option, including the on-board DVD player! These should be standard on any car containing children!

The car thing reminds me of a addiction that I am still very much recovering from. We used to, as one of our happiest forms of entertainment, go to the guitar store regularly and spend hours playing all the different guitars, deciding which ones we liked best, which ones were most fun to play and had the best sound, which had the best electronics and the coolest features and so on. This is really great fun, cause you can just hang out there and also meet other guitarists, swap songs and licks, play for each other, and so on. But the thing is, I tend to fall in love with certain guitars, and then I buy them. My only electric guitar now is one I bought one day when I had no plans to buy a guitar. It said to me "take me home" and I did.

I'm doing so very much better than I was. There was a time when I had three guitars and a bass. Now I have confined myself to only one electric and one steel string acoustic. I don't even have a classical (though hmmmm.... I sure would like one.... they have the greatest sound). But I realize I'm not really in control of myself when it comes to guitars. My only hope is total avoidance.

Tools are another addiction. I do not have to have any use for a cool tool in order to feel a deep need for it. What I would really love now is one of those infrared temperature sensors that you aim the little laser spot at something and pull the trigger and it reads the temperature. Those are just so cool. But they're expensive and I can't stretch my imagination to think how I'd really need one very often. But still.... they are just cool!

RPG video games. They are a lovely distraction from just how much life sucks... Like a good book or a an excellent movie in interactive form lasting 40 hours if you just follow the basic story and 80 if you do everything.
They are so cool. Best ones-

Doh! Did you have to mention tools, aka? I was trying to hide that. Do you have a brand that you specifically go with? I alomost always buy Craftsman. However, $$$$ sometimes gets in the way.

Alucard, nah, mine is more along the lines or restoration or ground up projects. I am restoring a 1964 chevy, planning to build a 1932 Ford roadster with a Hemi engine (size TBD). All of this on military pay. Oh and still making payments on my 2000 dodge p/u. I think I just lengthly spelled out B-R-O-K-E. I wonder how I expect to buy my parents' house off of them when my dad retires. oh well, that one car garage off to the side will be completely devoted to my car projects.

Mrs.M : sure you can. [Smile]

I have only missed one episode of American Idol this season.

I collect shoes and coats.

However, I have no fish and tools remind me of work, so I buy them only when necessary. This is a very cool thread!

Yes, for hand tools I love Craftsman. For power tools I'm fond of DeWalt or Black and Decker. I am really hurting for power tools now as I have only the hand sort and none of the shop ones.

I don't even have a cross cut saw or a drill press. I have to use my handheld circular saw or a hand drill when I need to saw or drill things. I have no table saw, no router, no bandsaw, no belt sander or nail gun, no lathe or milling machine. I don't even have an air compressor, alas. My shop is in poor shape.

Home Depot is another place I have problems. They just have too much cool stuff there I really need to buy. [Smile]
 
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
 
I have real problems with Borders. I can't go in without BUYING something. I have this issue with my CD collection and the vision I have of it being monumental, eclectic and very fun.

Yeah, it's a bad addiction. I've been beefing up my 60s/70s collection lately and nothing, not even the fact that I am POOR, will stop me.

Because of this (partly) I'm also addicted to Amazon.com. I love going in and rating items I own, updating my recommendations...and ultimately ordering something else I can't afford! My wishlist is absurdly long and unbelievable. Definitely addicted to Amazon.

I'm also addicted to Hatrack. But I think all of you are as well. [Big Grin]

I binge on books. Not just any books. Out of print, obscure, hard to find books. I crave them! Ebay and online booksellers have made this a much more available drug than it used to be.

(I just got my copy of Platypus at Large delivered to me this week. But it had an important cartoon in it I hadn't seen since I was 11 or 12 years old!)

I am so powerless. [Cry]

sndrake,
If you like really old and obscure books that are not necessarily online, my dad's best friend has a bookstore, and he is very old fashioned. He has been collecting for MY whole life, and more than that, I am sure. he might even be online now, but I doubt it.

aka, if there is a Harbor Freight around you I would try that. They have some really cool stuff. Including an engine puller w/ electric winch. *drools* I need to get one of those someday. I only have 3 power tools: a battery powered 75th anniversary drill, a mini sander, and a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder. I don't do woodwork. No air comressor, need one of those too. Loan from Bank, need that.

edit: sndrake, I did buy some antique books a couple years ago online. found it longaeva.com

Driving and books. Every Sunday I take an afternoon drive and I always end up at one of the bookstores in town.
 
Posted by aka (Member # 139) on :
 
Yes, books are another problem. I like alibris.com for used out-of-print books. I just bought a complete Nevil Shute collection. Though his are still in print, as it turns out, yet the used ones are much less expensive.

Barnes and Noble: all the employees in the two nearest me know me by name, as I do them. <laughs> We don't have Borders in my town yet, but I've browsed them while traveling and I think I still prefer the selection at B&N. Don't even talk to me about Books A Million. They are yucky. Sure they have lots of books, just not very many I want to read.

I sold a bunch of my old SF paperbacks at a time when I was moving and going back to school and needing to lean down, and I've regretted it ever since. So now I don't ever get rid of them. I also made a policy decision after paying some large fine (I'm terrible at getting library books back on time) that I would just buy my books in the future. Our public libraries here suck anyway.

So the problem I have is that I keep having to move into larger and larger places to hold all the books. Now I am in a four bedroom house with shelves in every room, and those shelves are spilling over, stacked two deep with more turned sideways at the top.

The reason I need all the woodworking tools is to make new bookshelves. [Smile]

I'm addicted to books. OSC is the latest (and so far most potent) hard drug in this generalized addiction. I vowed that after the Ender/Shadow series, I would stop. But then I got Maps in a Mirror. And now the Alvin Books. Heck, I even bought Meditations on Middle-Earth just to read OSC's essay. I am doomed.

I'm also addicted to the internet, but this is ENTIRELY the fault of Hatrack and PWEB [Razz]

I'm with you on the tools addiction. I wish I worked at Harbor Freight.

My favorite tool so far is the set of Gear Wrenches I got two Christmases ago. I can't put them down. I sit in bed and just twirl them.

My current favorite time waster is Hatrack. I keep assuming it will eventually subside like all my obsessions and another will take over, but it hasn't happened yet.

I, like, NEVER watch TV.

Because I have a short attention span and don't really have much spare time to give, I don't read many novels. I WANT to read novels, but I despise how long it takes me. I am not a fast reader, and I like to savor what I read.

Few authors can suck me into a book any more, OSC being one of the ones to whom I reserve that highest privilege. But to my shame, there are still books of his I haven't read yet. I need to get on the ball!

Oh, I'm also addicted to sheet music. Choral music to be specific. I buy it in single or doubles and put it in my huge file. I like to browse through my file and play stuff, but it's MOST fun when I can actually use my file to plan choir programs, or recommend music to other people.

I am a choral nerd.

Narnia,
I just went to my daughter's choral festival! It was amazing. All the groups got together at the end to sing a song by a local composer who was there. It was the debut performance. It was a gospel song. Beautiful. Would you like me to ask for a copy?

Survivor, the only reason I ever turn the TV on anymore. I loves it! The drama, the contests, the beautiful settings, the cheesy overdone music, the use of various jungle critters as heavy-handed metaphors for the tribes... oh yes. [Big Grin]

Caffeine. [Frown] I keep going back and forth with this stuff. I'm about to quit again.

And lately, I've noticed that I'm totally hooked on challenges. I get such an enormous rush from being given a difficult or impossible problem and solving it.... it's all I really want to do. I'll stay late into the evening at my job, unpaid, because I just have to get a little further on it... Once the challenge is gone, I'm listless and cranky. So I keep throwing myself into these impossible situations. [Smile]

I'm addicted to information. When I discovered the Internet in 1994, I basically did nothing but surf, eat, and sleep for two solid weeks. I find it nearly impossible to walk into a bookstore and not walk out with an armload of books. I buy far more books than I actually have time to read, honestly, but I like having bookshelves full of possibilities. When I clean my house, it's not at all uncommon for me to catch myself, hours after I officially started cleaning, reading all sorts of interesting books and articles I'd forgotten about, the mess around me nearly untouched. I'm fascinated by nearly everything. I can spend hours watching dust motes, or ants, or spiders, or nearly anything in the natural or human world. Pretty much the only thing that bores me is sports, honestly, but if I have to attend a sporting event I usually have a good time watching the audience.

Basically, I'm addicted to this life. I'm having a fantastic time so far. If it's true that we reincarnate here until we're done being fascinated by the world, I definitely have a few million lifetimes left to go.

What a great thread. But I must say, my addictions are more embarrassing than yours. [Wink]

We've got:

--VH1 Countdowns. Doesn't matter what countdown, I just *have* to know what is going to be number one! (Good thing I don't watch more TV, because this one could become pretty consuming.)

--Friends. Good thing it's the last season and I will be done after this year!

--Britney Spears' new song Toxic. Yes I know, I'm hanging my head in shame as I admit to it. [Embarrassed] Two of my roommates and I can listen to it over and over again...so very sad. It's just the one song though, honest!

As for the not-so-embarrassing ones:

--Harry Potter. [Big Grin]

--OSC

--Hatcrack. duh.

--movies. If weren't so completely broke right now, I would have the best DVD collection ever. For now though, I just sit and make lists, and dream of what my collection will be like someday. [Smile]

--books. See above, though I haven't started a list yet for this dream-collection. [Smile]

Edit: I left out my newest TV addiction! Smallville! The show itself is not that great, and each episode is rather like the one that came before it. But what can I say? I got sucked in. Tom Welling is SO hot, and he's Superman...can't get much better than that. [Blushing]

That might constitute shameful, depending on what kind. But really, I have seen very few truly shameful addictions in here (knowing the backstreet boys songs being a memorable exception). Are you all really that... well, nonsacndalous? I mean, come now. I started this thread with something relatively tame, thinking I'd get the ball rolling and you all would just run with it, outdoing each other with every post. But I see no scandal. I see no dirty little secrets. Where is my soap opera material? Where is my Ann Coulter worthy gossip? I NEED GOSSIP!!!!! FEED ME PETTY SINS!!!!! (gasping)

My addictions are not scandalous, merely expensive. Textiles... 100% cotton, high thread count sheets, cashmire and pashmina sweaters, shoes with real leather soles, silk pajama pants. Hard cover books, crystal glasses that make a beautiful ringing sound when you ever-so-gently clink them together for a toast, fine food and wine, eaten slowly with good conversation. I am, in my heart, a creature of luxury. As long as I don't have to pay full price, which means I spend way too much time shopping. But it's fun, and it saves my pocketbook.

Um, I also have a Milwaukee Tools sawzall, a couple of black & decker power sanders, and a lovely assortment of handtools, some of which belonged to my grandfather. Way cool. But for most powertools I don't need to buy, I just borrow Daddy's. I thought I was getting an air compressor for Christmas this year, but I got a KitchenAid instead. Maybe next year.... *covets*

Anyway, I'm addicted to drinking. Not alcohol, just something. I always have to have a beverage nearby, be it soda, juice, or water. Never anything hot, though.

I also have an addiction to driving. I've honestly gotten the shakes during a three day period in which I didn't drive at all.

I'm also addicted to Hatrack, but I think that drops below the "socially acceptable" line. [Wink]

I'm kinda addicted to this place. There's the drama. But, there's a certain level of questioning going on, and that's always a good thing. maybe NOT SO much questioning regarding thought-lines as there could be, but definitely challenging all in all.

Actually, it is illegal to love that show in New Zealand, Ryuko.
Yeah, they hate that show over there. They've also banned "The Price is Right" for some unfathomable reason.

What on earth are you rabbitting on about?

I love Stargate SG-1. I almost stayed home from a family dinner when the season finale conflicted.

Books... definitely...can't walk into a bookshop without buying a book... that said, I own very few books that I haven't read, thanks to many train journeys recently.

I used to have an addiction to bridge - if ever there was a game on I'd be watching or playing, but now not so much. The bridge dreams were funny though...

My most recent addiction is 2-player Columns - housemate has a Sega Master System and thrashes me regularly, but it's still fun. And I can win one bout out of three, now, so there!
