It pays to be addicted..

...to (at least) one thing in life... I ooze addiction

I guess I'm borderline addicted to Yahoo! Messenger (pretty obvious if you check out WackyB.co.nz ~ Yahoo! Messenger), I'm addicted to coffee, I'm addicted to BB UK 2006 (don't even ask just blame Timo), I'm addicted to waffling.. the yack yack waffling not the food waffle .... although speaking of food I confess to being addicted to M&M's and Jellybeans ... and I'm addicted to making things personal... adding that little bit of "me" to things that I use or that share my personal space... like my notebook

Late last year.. one could assume... incorrectly ... that I had far too much time on my hands... I didn't... I just needed to... de-stress ... so I set about adding a sticker or two to my notebook... but I clearly needed quite a bit of de-stressing as the end result was kinda a bit bigger than I expected... and a few hundred stickers... (did I mention my sticker addiction? ) ... I now have a fully customized notebook that just oozes "me...." and that I adore...

For sure some ppl probably think I'm a bit odd... but I was odd before... some think that I've added an extra 10kgs to it ... and I guess that I have in fact contributed towards some weight... but it's a dang heavy thing to begin with and IMHO if you're going to carry around a big brick you might was well carry two and enjoy it ... and some perhaps think that it's awfully "girly"... well I am a "girl" so ... but the really cool that I learned while doing my notebook and talking to others... is that I'm not the only "nerd" doing it... check out the flickr tag pimpmylaptop how cool is that!

btw.. I much prefer to be called a geek

Bubblewrap.....the final and possibly best addiction.. I still read this blog, even if I only comment occasionally You know what you needed to do before you put on the stickers...is to cover the "brick" in bubblewrap. That way you get a satisfying noise when you press too hard on the stickers over them....
