Well, I was reading Brooke's blog and she was talking about her addictions, so excuse me being a copy cat, but here goes. Current addictions:
1) Chocolate--I know I've explained that we're on a low sugar diet here, but I don't think you understand how low. Like the other day, some folks were trying to find sugar to make cookies for the Valentine's day party, and we were out. Out of sugar. And it was no big deal to the chefs. Well, how do you make cookies without sugar, and don't give me any of that vegan applesauce explanation? Applesauce can do very well for fake brownies, but for cookies? And so now, I find myself nabbing chocolate whenever I can. There is a stash of dark chocolate here, as it's good for the heart. But it's constantly getting hid in different locations, on account of people hunting it down, and abusing the stash. So I can't tell if I really have this true love for chocolate or if it's incited by the fact, that it's just not commonly available. It's really becoming a philosophical quandry. I guess you could just say that I've got chocolate on my mind. And my tummy.
2) Magazines--For christmas, I recieved some magazine subscriptions, and then I got a hook up with the OA (thanks Catherine!) and then I impulsively subscribed to a couple of more. However, this impulse is really paying off. I'm usually so tired by the end of the night, that I can't get through any reading that's too long, so the length of an article or story helps me to feel intellectually involved without such a time investment. And they're perfect for in the tub or on the pot. Yes, it's very base I know, which is why it's probably so enjoyable.
Well, 2 addictions for now ain't so bad. And as long as the chocolate stays dark, not too unhealthy either. Right? Affirmations welcome.

seriously. i'm starting the job search very soon. if you hear of any jobs where you are (or in the area) that fits me (msw, obviously). i'm getting super nervous about all of this...
glad to hear you're doing well and have lots of magazine subscriptions (i'm quite green with envy).
magazines...why haven't i had these subscriptions before?
OA, Utne, No Depression, National Geographic, Atlantic, and my most recent indulgences...The Sun, Dwell, and the Virginia Quarterly Review (a tip from Paul and the OA).
Most were Christmas gifts, but now that I look at the list, it seems a bit excessive/ridiculous.
I'm addicted to music right now.
i'm addicted to 'in my life' by the beatles. once you pop, you just can't stop.
you guys are funny. nicole any word on the sun? you moving this way any time soon...
i'll keep you updated brooke; you should just send an application/resume to the director here and see what happens. i'll put in a good word. trevor could work on the farm, too. i just want to recruit all my friends!
hey cale--thought of posting on your own blog anytime soon? you're so boring if you don't.
ellen i'm sorry i can only somewhat relate to your addictions. I am merely addicted to chocolate and sex. Either together or separate...i don't discriminate. Oh and booze...pretty much addicted.
i am addicted to your and cale's blogues.
and since magazines in english cost in the neighborhood of nine or ten euros here i am addicted to the penguin 70 series, short stories collections for 2.30€ a piece, some of which i think i should ship over to you, if you would have them.
what else am i addicted to? nothing exciting. daydreaming i guess. oh yeah and falafel
how can you be addicted to cale's blog? he never writes in it.
the other addictions make sense, hehe.
and hey, moss, i'm a little sad my blog wasn't on that list...

brookje the pictures of your cat make me sad otherwise i would be addictid to your blogue, too
i yearn for my maine coone. we will get a cat here. but it wont be the same. and carsten has already got all these rules, no cats on the counter, no cats in the bedroom.
ellen i will send you chocolate if you send me the suns? deal? no deal?
