My Ultimate Vice....

I don't smoke. I drink occasionally, but not in excess. I do not consume other various illegal substances. I am not the healthiest eater, but I don't consume a large amount of food and I'm fairly active so it all balances. I may have various guilty pleasures, such as American Idol, but perhaps there are limits on how 'bad' or 'dangerous' such things are for a person. (Some will argue this, I know.)

Anyhow. There is one thing that I cannot imagine giving up. One thing that I crave, that I yearn for, that I would cry for. Despite the dangers, despite the fact that every scientific study notes that it is completely and totally bad for a person and there is no real benefit to it, I would contemplate shaving my head sooner than giving it up....



Oh, empty calories! Oh, potential cavities!

It's pop. Real pop. Specifically, regular or cherry coke. Mmm. I'm craving it as we speak. I know all health studies say to think twice, that 300 calories of chocolate cake are better than 300 calories of pop. I don't care. I will argue that there are worse vices (see above), so it's ok for me to keep this little one. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Anyone else have other vices? (Please bear in mind this blog is rated PG-13 when reporting them.)

I used to be addicted to Vanilla Coke. Then they took it off the market. Then they brought it back. Now, I don't drink it anymore, but I do enjoy the occasional Coke Zero.

However, I'd say that my main vice is biting my nails. Can't stop, won't stop. I also twirl my earrings when I'm bored/nervous/feeling fidgety.

My other vice is coffee, but I can control it. I usually drink a cup a day, at most.
