I'm an addict
POSTED AT 11:00 PM in General

My name is Dracil. And I am an addict.

An addict of what?

To the untrained eye, they might think I'm an addict of the Internet. It is the latest fad in "new addictions" after all. But that is not really true. The time I spend on the Internet is merely a symptom of the real disease. In any case, I was an addict before the Internet became popular.

So, what? Games? Well, I spend a pretty unhealthy amount of time with games, and did so before the Internet, but that's not really it either. Games are actually more likely to be nothing more than a gateway to THIS addiction.

Here's a hint, I do it in the bed. I do it in the bathroom.

No, it's not sexual, although it could be.

I also do it in cars. I do it while eating. Sometimes even while walking.

People sometimes give me strange looks.

Still no idea?

The answer is, I'm a reading addict.

Most of my day-to-day net surfing is spent reading and reading and reading. When I'm interested in a game, I spend as much, if not more time reading strategies and discussion about the game. When I watch stuff, I actually prefer having subtitles, even if it's a language I understand fluently. And yes, occasionally I can be found walking and reading something. I'm always reading something when I'm eating and not with people. I read when I defecate. If I don't have a book or magazine or newspaper ready, I read labels on boxes in the bathroom. I've actually read in the shower in the past for that matter.

So, yeah. I'm an addict.

I know what you mean. Well, an addiction to reading is a stone's throw from addiction to information. The internet and it's nearly limitless resource of instant gratification doesn't exactly help things.

I'm reminded of the Amish now ^^;

I don't think I'm a reading addict, but more of a conversation addict. >.
