so i’m an addict. i don’t mean that i’m addicted to anything specific, (except the internet) but i have a very addictive personality. i’ve been addicted to different games, tv and the internet at varying times. fortunately they’re not too destructive, like substance abuse. alcoholism runs in my familiy (a *lot*). i don’t seem to have the specific cravings for alcohol, but i do have a lot of the traits that sometimes accompany an addictive personality. i have been re-reading some older cyberpunk-style books (ie: gibson, etc) and there’s a scene in one of them where a family goes into cyberspace and never comes out.. a period of time goes by and another family member comes over to change their diapers, while watching them waste away, little by little losing muscle tone, fat, and finally dying. at first i was like ‘whoa, that’s a little extreme’ but then i realized that it’s just a parallel to what happens right now with people who drink or take drugs, they’re killing themselves slowly too. anyways, enough rambling.
