ive recently traded one addicton for another i was addicted to second life a virtual world where you can be anyone or anything - was there literally all teh hours apart form working and sleeping - ate at my compputer - would say to friend sowho rang me sorry im going to work or in shower cos i wanted to play the game more

now im the same wiht facebook - implay so many games i have no hope of keeping them up - I told my friend i couldnt meet her for lunch cos i had somthing on - the somthing was i had to feed my sheepdog on farmvile at a certain time or it would run away - OMG!!!!! its not even a real dog! (checks watch ...- no ive fed it today - 12 days to go and i get to keep it ) I even set my alarm so i dont forget lol - am i addicted ....i guess so ...am i avoiding doing things i should - like sorting out my life - you bet! - but im like a leaky boat - i fix one thing and i spring a leak somwhere else...... fix SI - self med wiht food - stop taht - find second life - quit second life - mostly and play facebook games ....... aaarrrggghhh!!!

and Christina if it seems i make light of this - its cos if i really look in medusas mirror im afraid ill be turned to stone and then crumble.... RL is scary and unpredictable - the games arnt .....so i hide there.....

i think if you say - if you do this then you can go online for an hour - then thats fine - but i cant

whats the answer ? dunno.....
