obsessions

I was reading an article today titled: Shoot the Messenger: Excessive use of mobile phones for texting can hurt more that the hip pocket.
Ahhh...a topic close to my heart!! Many of you will know that I have a case of excessive moblie texting. Well...to be honest, it isn't really that bad, and I have coem to realise this after reading the before mentioned article :) (hang on, am i just in denial?!)
Case studies included this girl who had sent...wait for it.... 14, 827 messages in the past 6 months. CRAZY!!! that works out (according to my super smart mathematical brain) to be approx 88 messages a day!!! What the hell does this girl do, literally sit on her phone and text all day? No wonder she went over her $69 cap last month by $2000 as the article goes on to mention...
Further on, the girl gives her reasoning behind her excessive text use... it means she is lvoed when she receives a message, and it is a good way to avoid dealing with people. To a point, I agree with her. Who doesnt enjoy receiving a message of love? Again, who doesnt prefer sending a text when they know they really should pick up the phone and call but they cant be bothered?
However. To a point. This girl has obviously got serious issues, if she needs to be reminded she is lvoed 88 times a day, or needs to send 88 messages of avoidance a day.
Therefore i now feel a lot better about myself and my texting patterns! Clearly I am not as bad as i (and others) once feared I was!
So tell me...what are other peoples obsessions?! And/or what do you think of my justification that I am not a text addict?! xx
