Am I a chapstick lesbian?

I have this theory about chapstick...

I generally try to stay away from Carmax and Blistex because they are therapeutic chapsticks. It seems that whenever I start using those for chappy lips I can't stop using them. It is like my lips get addicted. I can't live without them!

So I fall into this addictive behavior with chapstick. I use up one stick in like 3 days and then I have to walk over to the gas station and buy more. If I don't I start jonesing (i don't know if I made that word up and I can't explain exactly what it means) for chapstick, like a crazed junky who needs a fix.

Generally speaking I try to stay away from addictive behaviors. So of course I try to quit. This always happens to me with Carmax espeicially. I am always in this constant struggle with Carmax. I stay Carmax free for like a few months then I start up again.

The first few days are always the hardest... As any addict knows.

I just get in this horrible mood because all I can think about is Carmax or Blistex. My lips start to dry out really bad. It always seems that people who quit using Carmax get super (I mean really freaky) dry lips this first few days. It is like your lips are going throught these withdrawl symptoms and they are screaming 'I need chapstick!' But it is not normal chappy lips.

It is like Carmax and Blistex put this secret ingredient in the stick to cause you to get abnormally dry lips when you quit, so its like you are worse then before you started so you need it more desperately. It is how they snare people like me in.

Just saying the truth, everyone was thinking it and I actually have the odasity (i think I made up that word too) to say something.
