Whether you are one, or you know one, we can all relate to this list a little bit. Proceed with caution?….Yeah right.
1.) You Would Live At An Amusement Park If You Could
Roller coaster season is one of the most exciting times of the year for you. Seeing the unveiling of new bigger, faster coasters gets your heart going and you want to drive to the park that second. Seriously, when are they going to let us just move in?
2.) You Wish Halloween Never Ended
Halloween is undoubtedly your absolute favorite holiday. Haunted houses, scary movie marathons, creepy decorations, gory costumes. It’s a junkie’s heaven. Just imagine being able to do all of that year round..
3.) You See A Paranormal Show On TV And You Have To Watch It
We’re all guilty of scrolling through the tv guide and seeing “A Haunting”, “Ghost Adventures”, or “Paranormal Lockdown” and continuing to binge watch it for hours on end. Sorry, not sorry.
4.) You Watch Every New Scary Movie
Seeing a trailer for a new horror film coming out is the best part of your day and you start making plans to see it as soon as the commercial ends.
5.) Sky Diving Is At The Top Of Your Bucket List
There is nothing more exciting to a junkie than jumping out of an airplane and hurdling towards the earth at about 125 mph. It’s the ultimate rush.
6.) You Wait Until The Last Minute To Finish An Assignment Or Work Project
Good ol’ procrastination. While we know it’s not a good habit, there’s something about an approaching deadline that puts us in our sweet spot and it’s usually when we produce some of our best work.
7.) You Switch Into NASCAR Mode Every Time You Get Behind A Wheel
Being an adrenaline junkie and having a “lead foot” go hand in hand. We each have our fair share of speeding tickets under our belts, and while another bad habit; it’s nearly impossible to break. We have to be going full speed ahead at all times.
8.) You Love Watching Videos Of People Doing Dangerous Tricks On Rooftops
We’ve all seen videos floating around the internet of people doing crazy flips and tricks on skinny rails and rooftops. Most recently there has been a supply of these videos including hoverboard tricks which are particularly exhilarating.
9.) You Think Glass Elevators Are The Best Kind
There’s something about a glass elevator that us junkies just love. The subtle clench in the pit of our stomach is just enough to keep us going and put a smile on our faces. (My favorite is when you can see the cables shaking on the sides through the glass.)
10.) You Have Tattoos
A common addition to any junkie is a tattoo. Tattoos are a good way to get a nice rush while putting beautiful artwork on your body at the same time. Maybe it’s a mixture of the commitment to your design, knowing needles are puncturing your skin 1,000+ times a minute, or the anxiousness of knowing one wrong move and you’re marked for life. Whatever it is, we like it.
11.) You Have A Physically Competitive Nature
A lot of times people who enjoy the rush of adrenaline will be involved in activities like boxing, mixed martial arts, or really any sport. Competitiveness is another quality many of us possess; it’s a blessing and a curse.
12.) You Play Video Games With A Lot Of Jump Scares
*cough* *cough* Slender *cough*
13.) You're The Brave One In Your Friend Group
Many of us know all too well the responsibilities of being the “brave” one. Turning on the lights at the bottom of the basement stairs, going out to the car at night to get something that was forgotten, the list goes on and on. But it’s okay because we like the rush we get from it anyways and frankly, we like that our buddies depend on us from time to time.
Go out and hug your favorite junkie after reading this then proceed to blow an air horn behind their head when you do because, honestly, we’d like the scare.
