I am also addicted to cooking because I cook everyday.

They sound like good things to be addicted to.
I have a fear of getting addicted to alchohol. WKD is delicioso!

Posting on forums. So much fun. Also; listening to music. I can't spend a day without it.
Well.. that's about everythang... I don't have that many addictions, I do have a lot of things I just like to do. Not addicted to.

/\ yeah, in the words of Bender the robot, "Don't worry, I don't have an addictive personality." After saying that, he takes a swig of beer, a puff from a cigar and goes back to abusing substances

I found another addictioin of mine: Volcanos.

Yeah I know, weird, but I'm just so freaggin fascinated by those things. I've got 2 thick books about them, just to see how they work, what kinda magma there is, all that sorta stuff...

When I was younger I always wanted to be someone who studied those things, but well, you gotta study geology and stuff, that's not my thing Plus it's pretty dangerous. A couple whos studied them died in when a volcano erupted they were studying, they were caught in the magma stream...
But I'm really into those things. If I've got the money I'm gonna visit the Etna (closest volcano)

I've become addicted to work. LoL I just got a new job and I'm going in whenever I can, all the time. It's horrible.

I"m also addicted to running, as I can't go a day without running at least a mile. Hmmm And STV>.. i'm addicted to this place as well

I form habits and addictions easily.

Addicted to saving the plantet. I go crazy if I see a single appliance on standby, and somedays I walk around in the dark so that i dont have to waste electricity on lights. I also walk most of the way home from school, but that's also so I can burn calories and spend time with Loffy.

See... I would call that an "obsession." Like... in 6th and 7th grade I had a Civil War obsession. I had lots of books on it, a subscription to Civil War magazine, wrote a novella and an award winning short story about the Civil War that was published in a western US literary magazine. One time, a Union soldier had all this cannon shrapnel in his leg and he knew it was going to get infected so he tore off a piece of his shirt and used it as a tourniquet then cut his leg off with his pocket knife. He died two hours later.

And if I had a way, I'd go back to the Civil War and fight for the Confederates. But... it wasn't an addiction.

We will never run out of oil, because no one will afford to use the last litre.

Hey, come here and you'll use a whole litre a month. It's so dry... you can barely even get anything to grow in any soil. BU... at least it isn't humid.

I am addicted to research and problem solving. I love solving tech problems.

I AM SOOOOOO interested in biomedical research.

At school(or anywhere else for that matter), I tell people about my hypothesis on cancer(which the part about GSK-3 Inhibition turned out to be correct, already done though, by they don't know why it works, but from my perspective it seems relatively obvious why, the other parts I am not sure about), how I believe it's possible to induce apptosis of cancer cells depending on which pathway they mutated from, by upregulating certain genes, and downregulating others, which the downregulation could be down if the cancer has a corresponding protein, because it could be neutralized using an antibody, which could be formed by purifying the compound then conjugating to a viral protein.


Oh if you know anyone with a brain tumor, a spine tumor, or a tumor of the thymus gland, or any type of nerve tumor, then you might look into Valproic acid, which is a GSK-3 beta inhibitor, and has been shown to induce apptosis of cancer cells. Valproic acid is highly tolerable, as it is a common bipolar medication, and it's negative side effects and possible medical concerns are well documented.

I have a hypothesis about how a certain hormone combination could induce neurogensis, but I don't want to get into that, it would take WAY to long, but the more research I do, the more I find out that I am right! My intuitions are correct!

I have an idea for how to create a cure for HIV, but I don't wanna get into that right now.

Aiming for 25psi boost 300+ flywheel hp.
