Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, that is so naive to thing someone's using a teleporter. It's much more likely that in the future, MM, Sean, and DX are traveling back in time just to confuse you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hello. I am back from Italy and England. Italy has lots of food and hills. England has the Tate Modern, which has an exhibition with giant five-story slides. Also, I woke up at 4AM.

Because books.

And AmyLiz the day before that.

::glances around nervously::

I was never there, I tell you.

Now tagless for your comfort.

"Addicts" showed signs of compulsive internet use, habitually checking e-mail, websites and chat rooms.

DH and I have had this discussion. I tend to think the 'net is more of a compulsion than an addiciton with me. But sometimes I think I'm a hardcore addict. He doesn't think so, though. He has a co-worker whose wife was really a 'net addict. She'd spend something like 16 hours a day online, ignore her two kids and let the entire house go. She left her husband and kids to marry someone she met in a chatroom.

So it could always be worse. But I was sweating this morning before Liv woke up when I do my usual b.org check and it was down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are the clinical definitions of addiction and compulsion, et al? Can I have an addiction that doesn't have a detrimental effect on my life? Can I have an addiction that has a beneficial effect?

I'm not sure where this came up in reading or discussing OCD, but I have been exposed to the point of view that as long as it doesn't get in the way of day to day functioning, why treat it?

Frankly, the slides were a little narrow, and I figured that it would not to be good to get halfway down and then figure out that my hips didn't fit through. I did take pictures and video of other people on the slides. It was mostly kids. I'll try to remember to post those at some point.
