IAA

setting: a windy morning in the dim hall room.

leader: hello everyone, my name is chrysta and i'm here to welcome you all to Internet Addicts Anonymous.

all: hi chrysta!

chrysta: hi all! let's begin with the freshest face in the room. i'd like to call on our newest member.

me: *grabs microphone* hello, my name is erin. and i'm an internet addict.

all: hello erin!

me: hey everyone!

chrysta: hello erin, anything you'd like to share with the group?

me: okay. i'd like to share my usual day at home.

it is one in the afternoon and i'm sitting in front of my monitor with red bleary eyes. the urge to check whether or not my crops are ready to harvest drove me to wake up too dang early today, eventhough it is a holiday.. 4am is early ryt? stooopid FB games. Facebook applications are one way for me NOT to be too addicted to games unlike before. it's not that time consuming as online games anyway.

*sigh* it was not too long ago when i was hooked to MMORPGs. the likes of which drove me to sleep around 2-3 hours per day. even less, depending on the amount of experience i needed to get to the next level. my roomie would be wary whenever she arrived home from work. well, considering i was still sitting in the same spot as when she left me there that morning.. that and the fact that i didn't have the time to take a bath.. (disgusting ryt?)

but this is how we gamers live our lives.. (murmurs of approval from everyone else) for around 4 years of my MMORPG addiction, i lived a monotonous life, or something of that nature.

i'd like to share my schedule: (i know everyone else does this)

MORNING: wake up, sit in front of PC, play, grab ingredients for breakfast, make it in front of the PC, play while eating breakfast, play, woohooo~ level up, play, bathroom break, play

AFTERNOON: play, grab ingredients for lunch, make lunch in front of the PC, play while eating lunch, dang it~ dead from bossfight, play, flame another player for looting my items, play, bathroom break, play

EVENING: play, grab ingredients for dinner, make dinner in front of the PC, play while eating dinner, yeah~ guildwars, play, bathroom break, play, sh*T~ its almost 10pm~ i should stop~ wait i might get a good loot, play, chat with fellow players while leveling, play, eat some chips, play, oh sh*T it's already 2am, last 100 mobs, play, noo~ it's 3am already~, leaves PC on since character is on vend mode, tries to fall asleep

after 3 hours of sleep..

sh*T! i thought that dream was real! i thought i really looted the golden armor and golden weapons!~ oh well, another day leveling.. i might get that really really rare armor today.

me: *sighs* i know ya'll went through all of this but i want you to understand..

*stops when i see everyone else, except chrysta, is gone*

chrysta: very good erin, now let's work on NOT tempting the other members next time, okay?

me: right.
