Rolling in it

Q: How do you know when you have reached total loserdom?
A:
When you get excited that you've finally got over $200K in the bank on Farm Town.
Not that I would know or anything...
Oh, who am I kidding!?!
I am a Farm Town addict and I love it. Yes, it has made me a big ol' dork of a farmer, but I am a RICH farmer...so there!
Playing online games is SO not my bag, but I am really digging the farmer scene.
Rob makes fun of me, but I sense it's just jealousy. :)
I cringe a little when I find myself planning parts of my day around making time to farm...this is when you know it's time to take a step back. I'm sure I'll grow bored with it soon, but until then...I'm off to plant some onions...

Am I an addict??

I am slowly coming to the realization that I may have a slightly addictive personality. Why is that, you say? Well when I finally joined the Blogger World I spent a ridiculous amount of time clicking from page to page trying to find out what everyone was up to and coming across old friends. It was great! But a few days in I realized that I was spending hours, yes literally hours a day doing this. This was made worse by the fact that I was skipping actual homework to do cruise people's blogs...which by the way resulted in my first C since I began school (technically it was a C+, but that still doesn't really make me feel any better). I finally got a grip on myself (or rather I read all that there was to read) and took a step back from my blog stalking. Right when I am getting back on track, I sign up for Facebook. At first I did it just so that I could see another friend's pictures they posted. Then I thought I should add a picture of my own, but that's it. Next thing I know I started to get all of these friend requests from people who found me through the search feature. I never really had any intentions of getting into Facebook but I reasoned that it would be rude not to accept an invitation, right? It all snowballed from there. I got my first piece of flair (thanks Molly!) and became incredibly amused by all of the flair options there are. I would flip through the pages just laughing at some of them and next thing I knew, I had been doing it for an hour! I really thought I had it under control until someone sent me an invitation to an Alias trivia game. I tried it out and of course quickly rose to Ace level. I then find out that they have trivia for Friends, Sex and the City and The Sopranos. Ever since then I have been answering trivia for my favorite TV shows and feeling completely fulfilled in doing so. Addictive much? Yes, I think so! So instead of showing up at work and earning the paycheck they give me, I am holed up in my office playing the Alias trivia game on Facebook and feeling absolutely (well almost absolutely) no shame about it. I barely switch from the screen when someone walks into my office! I think that I need an intervention, but not until tomorrow...I am only 270 points away from the next level! :) Oh how pathetic!!
