My Teaddiction (Tea Addiction)

So everyone, I have a problem.

Boy Meets World Problem

I’m an addict.

What! Mark Wahlberg that's weird

A teaddict.

Before I would just drink tea when it was cold, snuggling under blankets and curling up with a good book.

Then I started drinking in the mornings when I woke up.

And then I started drinking late afternoon, nightish.

And then one 8-oz cup wasn’t enough. I was drinking multiple cups, and then I was collecting the largest cups I could: pints, beer mugs, nothing was large enough for me.

And I was drinking tea at all hours of the day.

And if I don’t get my tea, the day just doesn’t feel right.

But hey, there are worse things out there that I could be addicted to. After all:

So I’ve decided to just live with my teaddiction and enjoy it.

Anyone else care for a cuppa?

It’s that time of the year again. You know what I’m talking about, the time of the year when all willpower goes out the window. The time of the year when it is impossible to stop, the addicting qualities are just too high. You know what I’m talking about…

Yep. Usually it can be bit of a trouble, trying to trek down a girl scout to purchase my faves from.

This year one of the kids that comes to my work was selling them. When I saw the list I wanted to buy like every one of them.

buyoneboxofgirlscoutcookies

I could only buy two as they are exorbitantly expensive. $5 a box?

outrageous

But of course that’s not the real issue, now is it? Nope the real problem is not completely devouring every single cookies after you open the box.

I tell myself not to, that I should resist; but I just can’t seem to stop.

No, stop! Alright.

No, stop! Alright.

Cookie after cookie just seem to be ending up in my mouth.

If only there was an easier way to work off fat. Then I could eat whatever I want.

But that’s not going to happen. As all my willpower goes out the window I am in desperate need of someone keeping me on track, of stopping me from constantly eating.

But then I think of their deliciousness and I realize something:

So you know what, forget serving sizes! I’m going to eat what I want!

Sleep is Not Important

The worst is when you try to stay up to read because it is so interesting, but your body just won’t let you

The Animal I Have Become

*Note: I wrote this blog in October but couldn’t post it because of Horrorfest III. I am aware that things have changed on Supernatural, but I wanted to leave it the exact same way I wrote it.*

wildThingAnimal

I thought this would be a great opening to a great song:

three-days-grace-one-x-2006

Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace

This song is amazing. It has these chords that constantly run through your mind. The music is almost like a pulse and so hypnotic. It bugs me that I can’t explain better how much I love this song.  I just LOVE IT!

love it

This song was created by the extremely handsome Adam Gontier.

Adam Gontier

He’s so attractive that I can’t help flashing his picture every time I talk about his talents. Anyways he wrote the song while he was in rehab for his addiction to OxyContin (a pain medication). He wrote it as he felt that he was losing himself during the addiction. He stated that “he had become abusive and angry and had no idea who he was anymore.”

It was super popular when it came out, being number one for over 7 weeks. Some of you might recall from an earlier post that my ex-boyfriend had lent this CD to me. Well I knew of Three Days Grace long before that because of this song and Pain; the two most popular of the album.

The music video is also amazing. He has this crazy, wild, black beast that he is trying to fight and overcome. It’s crazy!!! And it reminds us:

wildThingAnimal

And that “Wild Thing” isn’t always good.

I can’t escape this hell
So many times i’ve tried
But i’m still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)

I can’t escape myself
(I can’t escape myself)
So many times i’ve lied
(So many times i’ve lied)
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can’t escape this hell

(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)

And now with Dean having become a Demon (sad I know) on Supernatural, the song makes me think of him.

Fair warning though, it will take you on a real ride of heartbreak:
