It doesn't have to be an addiction or negative in any way, it can be as innocent as orange tic tacs as your one and only vice (as in the movie Juno).

Mine are office supplies and stuffed animals. Its so hard to pass up on a new notebook or a cute stuffed animal begging me to take it home.

My main one that causes a number of problems is procrastination. But it's partly because I'm so tired that I put things off. So maybe my main vice is going too long without vitamins & sleep aids.

I eat orange tic tacs a lot but I got into the habit from Drag Race. The orange tic tac diet as he called it in the early seasons.

I have a hoodies vice too. I think I have ~15 in total. Only bought one recently. A Shinedown Planet Zero hoodie that came with the CD in a wicked awesome box.

I could go without just about everything in the world except for my BBC Mysteries. They have raised crime shows to the level of art form.

Down home blues, preferably played in a smoky bar. Just a perfect atmosphere!

Food is my main one, especially desserts. But I am in Overeaters Anonymous.

Procrastination and TV are also a problem.

I am now wondering whether I should have added a trigger warning on my vice. If a moderator sees this and can help with it, I'd be grateful. Just PM me.

Aviza, I'm with you on the office supplies thing. I just love pens, lots of paper, envelopes, different pencils, and scissors. Can never have enough.

Your kitty and my kitty could be brothers; they look so much alike!

I used to love the idea of hoodies, but now whenever I see a hoodie I keep thinking it's not appropriate to wear a hoodie indoors...like how old school teachers used to say it's rude to wear a hat indoors.

I have heavy duty sweatshirts with hoods for winter & cold weather & light weight hoodies for indoors. Sometimes if I get chilled even indoors I throw the hood over my head rather than a blanket to warm up a bit. I always run cold
