My Addictions

I do not drink, I do not smoke, I do not take any drugs except those prescribed by my doctor. About October of ‘06 I became addicted to a game called second life. Played it almost 24/7 on my day off and then whenever I got home from work. After my friend died in RL (real life) I mellowed on the playing. Then my addiction subsided some so I was sober and normal. Nothing to worry about haha, I have to admit after SL I felt rather light and relaxed.

Then I saw the Treo haha, yes a Treo and I wanted my hands on it, man it was a neat phone. That’s when my fascination with gadgets began to rage. Once I dropped that itty bitty phone, it  was a LG flip phone, I never went back. I got a high from being able to do almost everything on my phone, I went to work and could check my email without having to use the work computer and I was able to send my faxes and view my Adobe files. I got the unlimited text plan and the unlimited internet plan from my carrier and boy I was loving it. My phone went with me everywhere, it is and will always be within my reach.

Then Facebook came my way, I had an account for a few months but I never bothered with it. Then I decided to explore the world of social networking after I read an article on MSNBC. I read about twitter and all of those addictive sites out there. Now I admit I am hooked on Facebook and I am hooked on Twitter. I have both a facebook application and Twitter application on my phone. So whenever I leave the house I have them at my fingertips. I am joining a new social networking site whenever I can. Maybe I get a high…I don’t know.

I do not really care, at least I am not doing drugs or  any of those other bad stuff. So there I admitted it, I am addicted to technology and I am addicted to social networking sites.Just meeting new people who share the same interests as me is exciting. Now that I have rss and podcast on my phone it will now start another evil trend, but hey, until the doctor says it is not good for me I am  not going to stop.
