Coffee is definitely an everyday consumption for me.
Chocolate isn't that big a deal.
Facebook..keeps me connected with friends all over the world.
Skins is an interesting show. Seen it. Not a vice of mine.
Been to Britain. Woo. Haha I loved it though. Can't wait to go again.
Junk food...it happens sometimes! Who doesn't like a bag of cheetos once in a blue moon?
Music? What's that?
Movies? Ah I just LOVE to sit on my ASS all day and dream as if I'm in another reality! Not. But I love film. It's a great art.
Therapy? Can't say I need it. I don't need to pay people to hold a conversation with a person.
Exercise? Get it every night baby! - 2 years ago

I hit 8 out of 10 of these.... it's depressing how much of a stereotype i must be. Junk food not so important and i can't afford an iphone ( but if i keep up the obsession with checking those bank statements perhaps one day...)

Yikes! They're worse than we are! In the USA, I think #5 may have to moved to #10. Who cares!

I looked at this and laughed, then realised it could refer to me.
I am ashamed of my generation.
"Checking bank statements"
"Exercise"
ooh and "my I phone".Whatever happened to good old fashioned crack and heroin?

Correct. Except for 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10. Otherwise, a completely accurate cross-section of my group of friends...

Damn you all, you make me seem normal. With the exception of beauty products (you can only polish a diamond so many times). I'm on all of those.
Oh wait I'm not under 30, does it still count?

I'm 27 & one of my vices is World of Warcraft & now I can + Twitter to the list.
My mom use to get rides to Bill graham concerts because her friends parents were dumb & thought they were giving her a ride to see Billy Graham the Evangelist LOL
I have accepted that my mom's more hardcore than me.
Lucky lady got to see tons of shows @ Winterland Arena,Fillmore, Etc.
Concerts are my favorite vice!I

And number eight is the only ultimately necessary thing on this list! (in moderation, of course.)
Most everything people use nowadays is such a timesuck.
I've personally challenged myself to look at every advertisement I see and determine whether or not it's actually required to sustain life. Not many are. Then again, if it was a necessity, advertisement wouldn't be needed, would it?

I think it is a shame. I hocked to a few of those things. but i'm working on getting off them. it just reduces the quality of your life whilst making shit loads of money for food and drink companies etc
