The Office, and Other Addictions

There are several things in life that I am addicted to. I think that it is important that I take the time to describe each of them so that I may understand myself and to help others in that endeavor as well. =)

First of all, I am addicted to milk. Seriously, I could drink a gallon a week, and I probably do. The source of this addiction may be traced back to a dear friend of mine, Miss Hood, who always enjoyed a glass of milk with her meals. And as I often frequented her family's dinner table, I would join her in partaking of the deliciousness. Another source where the addiction may have originated from would be my father's own addiction to milk. He suffers from this addiction even more so than myself as he owns not one, but three glass milk bottles. That's right, milk bottles, the old school, leave your bottle outside the door and the milkman will fill it in the morning bottles. Personally, I think that I'm addicted because it compliments so many important food groups so well, especially the Oreo.

Another thing I am addicted to is collecting stories. Hence why my library is so extensive and movie collection so obscene. This no doubt comes from my father (or father's family) as well. I love sitting down and diving into a good story about, well, anything! As long as it's told well. =)

And of course, I have a slight addiction to The Office. It's back on TV tonight, and though I made a fool of myself laughing, it felt good to see some of my favorite characters back where they belong (on my TV screen at 9:00). I will admit that I felt somewhat foolish laughing, as those around me were 6 years my junior. My brother is having a party at the moment, and so me and a dozen high schoolers enjoyed Michael Scott in all his glory. Interesting to say the least.

Overall, I felt that tonight's episode was marvelous! Everything I was hoping it would be (babe). However, I know that soon I will have to make a choice (or rather a choice will be made for me) between my addiction, and another great TV show, LOST. Alas, I fear that my roommate might hogtie me and take the remote from my hands so that we may enjoy LOST, and The Office will have to be viewed the following evening. =( Not ideal, but living with another means making compromises, and for the good of our rooming relationship, I will give up my "night of" Office viewings. =)

Ok, so it's really not a compromise, I would probably vote for watching LOST over the office if it were up to me.
