Addiction? or Hobby?

There are 2 things that I have become passionate about in the last few weeks. One is American Idol and the other is facebook. Ok they are alost becoming an addiction.
First of all, I have never missed a season of American Idol! This season has taken a total change. I am actually very irritated with the show. They are passing all kinds of talent just for sheer entertainment. It's not right! Now don't get me wrong there is some hidden talent in these 13 contestants, but not much. Danny G is my fave, Alexis is Nat's fave (yes i have introduced her to the craze, and she loves it. In fact everyday, she asks if American Idol is on that night.) and there are maybe 3 or 4 others. I am not gonna run down the whole show, but just knowit has brought out alot of "passion" in me this season. I wish I could say that I would never watch it again, but I know that I won't....addiction?
Second, Facebook is not negative for me in anyway, it just makes me stay up later at night and I find myself checking it like every 10 minutes (when I am at work or have a little spare time..what?) I know! That is negative...but oh so FUN! I am finding so many old friends! It makes it so nice to be able to contact these people and find out about thier lives, kids, families, etc. I love it! I am always looking for people on here. My sister's Mother- in -law created a group from my old church youth group and it is awesome! I am cracking up at funny stories and memories and pictures! If you have joined, you really should!
So I really don't want to label these things as addictions, because then I should be working on removing them from my life, right? Well that's not gonna happen, so let's call them my "present ...um...hobbies?"
