your other online obsessions, former or otherwise

Moviegirl was kind enough to remind us that we're all really addicts at heart, and that there is a strong chance we've had previous fixes before Netflix/ning. Share them, be embarrassed about them, and do enjoy!

As for myself, well, one of my exs was addicted to World of Warcraft, and since he was on it like all the time, I thought I'd play along too so we could spend more time together. Oh it started off innocently enough, a troll girl with big hair laughing at all the overly serious, easily angered adolecents; but before I knew it, I had been playing the darn thing for almost a year! So that was pretty embarrassing. What's even more embarrassing is he chose his silly game over me (I wasn't going to make him stop playing it altogether, but you know, a nice night out every once in awhile would be appriciated!), soooo that was the end of that. I'm pretty sure he still plays day and night (haven't seen him outside since) and I still remember certain areas of the game when I close my eyes. Scaaaaary. Sometimes I sort of miss it as you could have all these adorable cats for pets, and make all sorts of clothes... Anyway, feel free! To make fun, or share your own that is.

I also play real poker with people in real time, but internet poker has taken hours upon hours of my life and I still love it and play alot inbetween chat. Probably has taken away endless excersizing and house cleaning hours!! Oh smell. what can you do?; ▶ Reply to This

Egad, I can't believe I'm dling another Gravity game. I'm sticking to my guns about not being a player mod on this one for them, though. Although it was kinda fun getting to mute people on RO.; ▶ Reply to This
