I need a new addiction. Any suggestions?
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 11:37 AM by sundog
Preferably something economical & relatively harmless to others... and not terribly messy.

My old addictions just aren't filling the vacuum in my existence. I'm bored. Please make suggestions :P

1. coke
not that kind - the cola. I've been trying to quit.
It's like when I quit cigarettes, only sillier cause it's just sugar and caffine.

5. I am addicted to Waterless Hand Sanitizer
I love the rubbing alcohol smell. True it is stripping the skin from my hands, but it is so much fun to use.

14. I recently found one, but it's not very cheap
Building and flying radio controlled airplanes. It's certainly addictive.. Every time I upgrade components I want more performance within a week. I guess it has a rising tolerance level too, just like crack and heroin. The only thing that keeps me from buying everything I see is my lack of cash.

Of course, since you didn't elaborate on the addictions that are now boring you - it's a bit difficult to advise you!

20. Tea

Learn to make bread. Kneading and punching that dough is very therapeutic, and you get to eat the result.

44. there is nothing wrong with sticking your head in a bag filled with
model airplane glue until you become dioriented, dizzy and nauseous. Nothing wrong at all. It builds character, just like being fondled by Michael jackson.

47. Unless you are like the kid in San Angelo
when i was in high school, this kid accidentally glued the bag to his head and sufficated to death. I guess you can say he cleaned the gene pool that day.

25. birdwatching ?
It can be as cheap or as expensive as you like. If you only feed hummingbirds, there is no mess, because their deposit is clear, but I don't know about those seed feeders.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

26. Ultimate.
It's economical: 10 bucks for a piece of plastic
It's addictive: lots and lots of fun
It's self-destructive: your body hurts like hell and you get to hang out with a lot of alchoholics.
