Addicting stuff that isn't bad for you

[Loki, The Fallen]

Sugar Free gum. I swear, without this excellent stuff I'd weigh about 700 Trillion Tons and would change the solar system forever.



Um... yeah... that and maybe my addiction to Medical/Firefighting Dramedys. I mean, nothing can go wrong there...

...right...?

Spin (cycling) classes. I joined a gym last month and have been regularly attending 2-3 spin classes every week. It's amazing to see how quickly your muscles improve (I actually have slightly defined quadriceps now) and how much your RPM increases over time. At the end of my first class my average RPM was 56; now it's 86. I do some additional working out but so far spinning is the only consistent part of my routine, and since I've begun I've had better posture, better quality of sleep, and a lot more energy. It's awesome.

Vitamin C. Dead serious here. I don't know how it happened, but I wonder sometimes if it's not an actual biological addiction. If there is orange juice or other citrus in the house, I'll drink it all in a matter of a couple days on my own, limiting myself. If there are fruit snacks with vitamin C in them, well, let's just say I usually buy four boxes at a time and have to fight with myself to make them last for not even up to a week. The first packet I open will literally set up a craving. I have literally cursed at my brother for tossing me Gushers because he refuses to take things back when he gives gifts and if it's around, I will eventually eat it and start the whole train wreck again.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but at least C is water-soluble, so I can't poison myself with it.

Seriously though, you put me behind the wheel of a Bugatti and I'll turn somebody's fuckin hair white.

I hate people like you. They're always in fucking minivans too, coming up behind me doing fucking 90. I hope they roll over every time.

5,000MG/DAY maximum, displaced over the day.
If you are going to drink orange juice then its better to just eat the orange, but both are filled with acids and sugars.
Pine needles have way more vitamin C, nearly no sugar, and aren't as hard on you as the acids.
Pine needles can be steeped into tea.

I just realized I'm addicted to clenching my fists in front of me and then cocking them back while looking angry.

I am not going to go all the way to the other end of the street and climb up my fallen-out friend's tree to defoliate it in order to gain a substance which I'd rather avoid for the sake of my own sanity and not even have it taste good. Have you TASTED pine? It's not too bad until it oxidizes, but when it does, it tastes awful. I'd imagine the tea gets pretty bitter.

Basically, you're telling a recovering alcoholic where to buy the cheapest aftershave.

I find this humorous, actually. :J

This game. Seriously. I've been playing it for hours. My brain hurts.

[Whomper]

I am addicted to this.

I blame Avie.
