Addictions: Caffeine, Shitty food, the Internet

I love coffee. I have no desire to remove its presence from my life, and I am okay with this addiction.

I'm trying to eat better, and working where I do helps (A Cafe and Bakery which is vegetarian and has many vegan/gluten free options including gluten free bread). I'm also eating less. I've lost weight, but I could do SO much better if I could get off of soft drinks. I know how bad they are for me, I know they're shit, but water's not the same.

The internet is a form of escapism. It is difficult to remove it from my life because there are also healthy things for me on the internet - trans* resources, music resources, and great content like the stuff on Hubski. I Also love indie games, and there is a HUGE community on youtube for that (as well as a huge educational community). but I also spend way too much time on my computer escaping real life and the things I should be doing (practicing for example).
