Me and the Addictive Silliness

In the last week, or maybe two weeks, but I'm told just one week, I've read the first four Harry Potter books. I'm definately in higher spirits for reading them, which is probably the cause of this recent addiction. After this is posted, I start book #5.

Who knew?

And on that note, I want to quit smoking. It's just not any fun anymore. I want my sinuses to not torture me every time the weather changes, maybe not get winded so easily. I'm simply not having any fun as a smoking person.

Plus, it will be a challenge, and an adventure. I've managed just about 48 straight hours so far, and I'm doing okay. The work week will be the real test. Maybe if I can find some other addictions - reading, or a re-addiction to music writing, then I'll even be that much better for it all. Yes, I do want to be healthier, and yes I'd like that $10 a week for other things. But they are simply parts of the greater whole:

Smoking is no longer fun. Quitting will be a challenge and, while not pleasant, much more fun and interesting than smoking. Lest I sound like a prude, if I can make it to next Friday (seven straight days) without a smoke, I'll treat myself to a bottle of beer. ONE standard sized bottle of beer.

I'm vaguely curious to see what others think. If any of my friends or anything are reading this, go ahead and hit me up on the email address to the left. Sure, it's a junkmail account, and I won't see it for a while. Just follow the instructions (NO TIME FOR ANGST as a subject), and I'll hopefully receive it. And if you have any of my real email addresses, feel free to use those instead.
