My big confession.

I have developed a (possibly unhealthy) addiction to the D&D Online game.

I CANNOT STOP PLAYING.

On the one hand, my Paladin is cutting a swath through the kobold ranks (who, depending on how the day has gone, may or may not look a whole lot like certain library patrons and it's doing wonders for my mood)... but on the other, the game has seriously cut into my reading and blogging time.

So.  As with all of my little addictions, the early freakout will last for a little while and then I'll calm down and settle into a more reasonable schedule.

Until then, BRING ON THE *($()#&%#* KOBOLDS!

 

Wow.  Occasionally the truth hits home:  I am a huge, huge geek.

Wow, I had no idea it was an online game! (Although, now that I think of it: Duh.)

Lol, all my online time used to be taken up by pillaging, swordfighting, and the general destruction of my enemies. I was a pirate. :D I can understand the giant sucking blackhole that is an addiction to an online game. Just remember: sleep and getting up to walk around every once in a while is important too. I tended to forget the bit about sleeping... ::sigh::

My first thought: "Thanks a lot. I didn't know this existed, and now I'm *never* going to finish my stupid dissertation."
But then I went and checked it out and learned that there is no Mac version, so the Diss is safe.
Whew.

Hi! My name is Chrissy and I am now 6 months sober, umm, clean, umm, OFFLINE of World of Warcraft.

After 4 years of guild drama that would turn your hair white, scheduling life around raiding, and endless hours/days/weeks of pointless tasks only meant to keep you playing the game I am finally free.

My first reaction is: "No Leila! Run! Run and don't look back!"

But you're having fun, and it can be amazingly cathartic after a bad day of patrons.

So my advice:
Don't forget to eat - I did.
Don't forget to sleep - I did.
Make yourself stop to read - I would go months without reading anything but strategy and gear guides.
When it stops being fun, stop playing. Sounds obvious but can be very hard to do.

Those are kobolds?
