Oh the joys of a first blog. Funny enough it will have next to nothing to do with Twilight. The term "Twi-Hard", for those of you who aren't Twilight fans, is basically short-hand form of the phrase "die hard Twilight fan." I will say, however, that I am SOOOO excited for the movie to come out on November 21st!! That ends my Twilight rant-- on to the main point of today's blog. Much to my own horror and dismay, I decided to try my hand at the online phenomena that calls itself "World of Warcraft"--for those of you who don't know what it is or haven't heard of it, here are a few pictures to kind of give you a general idea of what it is that you're dealing with:
If this doesn't give you a good enough idea of how nerdy this is, I don't know what will. So I've been playing for about 2 or 3 months now and take pride in my LvL 40 Blood Elf Hunter (yeah, yeah I know--I'm ridiculous) but realize that my addiction to the game is semi-unhealthy. Now, the true point of this is not so much that I've realized that I have an addiction, I mean it's better than being addicted to other, more realistically harmful things--but the point is that, up to a certain point, I had the voice of reason in the form of Stephen. If I was up too late playing, or was shirking responsibilities, he was my conscience, my motivator, what have you. BUT all that changed when he sat and watched me for a few minutes. He started asking questions, throwing around ideas for names and races and classes then the next thing I know we're both sitting in the living room playing an online RPG/PVP game typing messages to each other when we are literally less than 10 feet away from each other. Ughh. Is it enough to say that I am disgusted in us? Maybe. But I have come to realize, it will all get better, this addiction of ours. Because when it comes to addiction, the first step is admitting it.
