signs of an addict

today i literally fell asleep holding a bottle of diet coke (and no, not the caffeine free kind, what would be the purpose of that). this is not the first time ive taken a nap while in the process of caffeinating. but every time i wake up, open my eyes and the first thing i see is that bottle next to me i think, damn, caffeine, you failed me again. yet i will still come back to you. and then i reach over and finish my soda. how else am i going to stay awake?
