I have a terrible addiction, and it is to my PC. I use it to do school, chat in IRC, play video games, watch tv shows/anime/movies. Sad but true, it's most of my life. Today my parents threatened to take it away if I did not do something for them (I won't go into that). And then my mind wandered to serious things if they went through with it. Top thing on my mind was arson to the house. Yet what truly scares me is that I would do it, in a heartbeat. Put my entire family homeless over a PC. That is very fucked up. Over a object. My PC has been my source of what's been keeping me sane for the past 3 years. I've built some kind of symbiotic attachment to it, like some weird drug. There is no substitute for it that I can think of. The PC is something I'm using to keep my mind together until I can get out of this house and make a life of my own. I agreed to do what they told me to this time, only because my logical side overtook my idiotic primal emotions. But what happens when they I ask me to do something that I absolutely will not do? If they follow through with their threats, I might just snap.
