Addictions, obsessions and the like

Have you noticed how most addictions, obsessions and the like seem to take control over you at the most inappropriate times? My shoe obsession, for example, always seems to kick in at the end of the month when I'm already practically broke. Rather than doing what any sensible person should do in that kind of situation: eat pasta and drink tap-water, I go out and buy pumps because...you know. I've got a thing for shoes. When I do get paid, though, I am already too tired of the wait so I choose to lounge around the house and don't feel like shopping at all. Go figure.

The most current addiction is The O.C. Ha-ha. I love it and I'm proud. I don't even think it counts as a guilty pleasure. It's a great show. I know I'm only about 12 years behind...but better late than ever. Yet, why NOW?!!!! I've got revisions to make. I've got to pack. I've got vodka to drink. Why the hell do I need to watch eight episodes of the show in a row. Eight, people! Eight! Do you now how many suitcases I could have packed instead?!

Oh, oh...and how about blogging at 2. 30 in the morning?! Meeting at 9 in the morning?! Who cares! Blog on, girl. No. Not this time. I'm taking control of (some of) my addictions. No more blogging after midnight.
