What are your addictions? What can't you live without? What 'uncool' things do you enjoy?

Addictions, addictions, I've got a coupla' those. Letsee here I'm addicted to nicotine, caffeine, Jolly Ranchers and Blow Pops, and MaryJane (the herb) and I can't live without any of these. Okay, so maybe I could sacrifice the Jolly Ranchers and sometimes the bud, but the Blow Pops stay! I know it sounds corny and needy and girlish but I can't live without my boyfriend, he's my best friend. I can't live without my Mom (I know, I'm a baby)either. As for "Uncool", there are lots of those! But I suppose what I get teased about most is some of the music I listen to. So I can't help it that Angelo Badalementi's compositions move me, they stir curiousity and creativity within me. It's jazzy, it's instrumental, it's relaxing and I don't care who calls it old fogy music or who thinks I'm a herb because of it. I like it and that's that. I enjoy it....with a passion.

i really, really, really love wwf wrestling. I don't know why. And in case you're wondering, Y2A is not a tribute to the year 2000, it's a reference to Chris Jericho, who is a wwf wrestler who calls himself Y2J. whee. I have no life but to answer these questions.

Pop-Up Video and Behind the Music. Goddamm addicting! No matter how much studying I know I have to do, I always wait until the end of "Montley Crue: Behind the Music" even though I know what happens to them. Drugs, Women, Music, Women, Drugs, Car Crash, Drugs, Women, Music, Rehab, shitty music. But I digress...

my addiction ... knee or thigh-high boots with heels or platforms higher than 4 1/2 inches ... can't live without 'em. they're quite necessary to my wardrobe. (i'm 5 feet tall otherwise.) let's see ... i've got my gene simmons pair, with the metal-laced hooks up the back, my thigh-high black vinyl Elvira set, the platform-combat lace-ups reminiscent of "closer" ... i could go on forever....
