From Labyrinth (with a little Poogie twist):

Are there any addictions that you have that you'd like to give up? If so, what are they and why do you want to give it up? (although the answer will probably be quite obvious.) If you have addictions and you don't want to give them up, what are they and why do you want to keep them? If you have no addictions....what the heck is wrong with you?!?! Very Happy

Easiest question ever ...

smoking, obvious reasons (trying ...)
computer games (keep me away from Nanny sometimes) Smile)

I mean Nanny is a game too, I'm just saying it should be enough.

Nanny - i don't want to give that up. What else to do then in my free time? I guess I like some people too from Nanny... too bad I don't know them in RL.

Hmm.... Addictions - nice topic. Smile Well, for starters, I must say that when the term 'addictive personality' was invented they had me in mind. Really, in the dictionary instead of giving a long complex definition of the term 'addiction' it would've been easier to simply put a photo of mine with the explanation: 'Ask him'.  Very Happy
Ok, here I go Smile
I'm a sucker for:
  - my girlfriend... yup, I'm definitely addicted Wink
  - computer games (nanny included)
  - good food
  - good wine (I love beer, too, but wine really hits the spot for me)
  - good music
  - anything that is High-Tech (especially things related to networking)
  - witty people (it's so hard to find them in RL nowadays); even better if        they have a strong sense of humour
and a couple of other things I'm sure I'm missing right now Smile

But I don't intend to give any of these up.... ever!  Very Happy

Easy question and easily answered: NANNY!
And no, I don't want to give it up Smile

Apart from this, hmmm not many. Good food, good wine and good books I'd say, but i can resist without too for a while (just a while, mind Cool )

They say what doesn't kill you it just makes you stronger, IMHO smoking is an exception to that.
I also like beer but I couldn't say I'm addicted, I could live without it I think. I like it but it's not a real addiction. I won't give that up anyway, hope I won't need to. Razz  I don't have many addictions I think (not sure people who knows me would say the same, dunno).

I have quite a few addictions that I'm not willing to give up. These ones are permanent and I've had for awhile. I'm addicted to Coca Cola, Nannymud, my computer and daydreaming. Some of my past addictions that I've been able to overcome, and that I also called my "guilty pleasures" are cd buying, hockey card collecting and collecting beanie baby bears.
Additionally I have temporary addictions, usually with food. There's chicken caesar salad, food from Einstein Bagels, food from Jason's Deli, Chipotle burritos, and occasionally ice cream, etc... These temporary ones might not seem like real addictions but they come in waves and I crave just that one thing for a period of time and then move on to something else. It's rather like a pregnant woman but I've been this way all my life....being pregnant with Nick just enhanced it. Wink

Well, I have this newly acquired addiction where I keep hitting reload on this Forum on the web and I have to see if anyone has posted anything new on it.  My name is garetjax and I have a problem.

Well...

1.Nanny (of course), a very big addiction here. Would I want to get rid of it? Nah, not really, but it would help a lot if I would kind of reschedual my nannytime and NOT log in when I should be at school  Twisted Evil Also it could be good if I at least did go to bed before the sun rises SOME day of the week.

2. Music (read metal), another big addiction, nothing I want to get rid of, rather it keeps me alive.

3. Trocadero, feels like it keeps me alive as well, but here at least I have an addiction I would want to get rid of, or at least not have as an "daily-use-issue".

4.Vampire-movies (or the vampire-theme in general), very addicted and totally need it thank you very much!

Actually, I am continually doing the same. A new addiction that I helped to create?  Shocked  Um...am I now addicted to making addictions?  Rolling Eyes

And thanks, Garetjax!

MUD, obviously...
Coffeine (Mostly in the form of Trocadero) *pokes Diss*
Music, if that counts as an 'addiction'...
Hmm. Computergames too, I suppose. Once in a while something really good is made, like the Baldur's gate series, which I'll gladly spend countless hours with. (Alright, I love those those fancy shooters and action games too). Though I firmly believe that the REAL games were made back in the years for the Amiga computer!  Twisted Evil

Anyway, would I want to get rid of anything of the above? Hell no. If I did, I'd just get rid of it...err, I think... Rolling Eyes
