When reading turns into a vice

I assumed a long time ago that, to me, reading has turned into a vice.

What IS a vice? Definition says "a weakness of character; a bad habit", precisely what it has become to me. Take this moment for example. I should be either studying my ass off for a make up exam that takes place in about eight hours, OR sleeping, since it's almost 1 am. But instead, I'm absolutely CRAVING for a fanfic... the compulsion to read one for AT LEAST 15 minutes, half an hour, is almost intolerable. The desire is such that it makes me wanna cry in frustration and even second-guess my choices in life ("why the hell did I take this career!!"). 

The stories are there, already chosen, just a click away. Their calling is so powerful... FUCK!!

*sigh* I must go, I shouldn't be doing this, I should be studying... This subject will be HELL to sit entirely on finals, as it will happen if I don't approve tomorrow--sorry, TODAY's term exam. But it served as a great way to vent all this lingering craving... 

Damn, I wanna read Mulder & Scully SO MUCH... and Selene & Michael... Buffy & Spike... :::sniffs:::
