Hello, I'm Leah and I'm An Information Addict
My title is the truth. I used to drink a lot. Now, I'm an information addict, artist and writer.

![alt text](http://s33.postimg.org/b9xbeowgf/selfieheaddress.jpg)

Hi, my real name is Leah and my virtual identity as a writer and on YouTube is stellabelle. Yes, that photo is really me, but I don't wear make up anymore and t-shirts and sweat pants are all I own now.

I am a paid writer which means I get to work in my pajamas every day. I'm also an information addict. I read and write for most of the day and often way into the night. I tend to hyper focus on a topic for a few days, then i move to the next. I found this site while doing research on Reddit for an IE article about a programmer named FiletofFish1066 who automated his own job for 6 years and then as a result forgot how to code. After I wrote the article for the Interesting Engineering website, FiletofFish1066 seemed to have deleted his account. I found an article on this site that covered the story.
I built websites way back in 2003, taught myself HTML, discovered video, created an experimental YouTube channel in 2008, have been messing around with all kinds of art forms and now I write technology and science articles. I actually shouldn't be here posting, as I have deadlines that I'm currently ignoring. 

My internet and info addiction is currently crippling my mind. I find people to be boring for the most part and have become completely anti-social as a result. My entire life is on the internet, but even that revolves around my desire to uncover strange information. My current focus of interest is artificial intelligence, not as a programmer, but as a researcher. My ideal job would be to create futuristic inspired stock photos. Well, that is what I'd like to do this second. It's hard to understand what my mind will be interested in next week or next month. 
Writing allows me to travel anywhere. But I'm restless. I like the idea of being paid to write independently. 

My ideal life would be to be 100% free, financially independent and working for the commons. I'm driven by communal goals more than anything else. Nikola Tesla's ideas on wireless energy for everyone greatly inspire me. I like science and I worked for a short time with an inventor in California who was on the verge of suicide. That's another story.

I'm motivated by innovation and intelligence. I'm curious to find out if this crypto system will work. I hope it does.

Welcome to Steemit Leah! Sometimes I wonder if I'm an addict too. I think reddit did it to me.

Thanks, you probably are some sort of addict, if the thought passes through your mind.

But people tend to overuse the word 'addict' or they joke around about it. Information for me is like crack. I have info hangovers, and my vision is getting bad because of it. I wish I was joking.  But I've managed to turn my interests into money so I'm not exactly an unhappy person. If I had a normal social life, I doubt I would be labeling myself an addict but I get bored by being around people. I have a running thought stream which takes over once someone opens their mouth and begins talking. I actually cannot understand people very well as my internal thoughts are louder than their words. This sounds odd, but it's the truth. I think something has warped me but at the same time I feel that I'm able to understand quite complicated things because of my ability to focus for vast periods of time.
