How nice that you were able to ...I loved this post. How nice that you were able to play this MMO and come to the realization that it's really just like all other MMO's in that they can't compare to real life. You have gotten it exactly right. The more you play, the more you need to play and then...if you get to be at the top of the pile, you can't truly be happy unless you stay there or spend all the hours to get another character up there...and do it all over again. You push the real world away in your mad desire to make your game life brilliant...and in the end you have nothing when you turn off the computer.<br /><br />*hugs* Really awesome, Heather. I was feeling a little bit concerned about you playing Rift--only because it seems like we have a lot in common, and if I began to play Rift, I think I would like it based on what you told me about it...I would definitely junk out on it and it made me feel a little afraid for you because I don't really think that's what you want to do. It's a tough thing to admit when you have a problem with something. I have a problem with alcohol, not that anyone would know this...I have a problem with MMO's too. I have come to the realization that I have a problem with addiction in general and so I have to watch out for it. It doesn't make me a bad person--nor you for having issues with MMO's--it's just something I have to stay away from because I lack the ability to be reasonable with addictive things that I take a liking to.<br /><br />You ROCK! Jake needs to give you lots and lots of kisses, and then you need to roll around with your animals and let them all dogpile on you and purr over you! :) YAY!!!<br /><br />P.S. I read your post to Steve and he thought it was awesome. He agreed very loudly when I read, "But when I do that, I end up rushing through everything else in order to start playing that much quicker." "Man I know allllll about that one!" He thinks you're a very cool person, and I've been telling him about your posts and comments on my blog. We chatted with you over dinner the other night when we went out and he feels really bad that you got dicked over by that guy but also thought you were great to tell him to take a hike when he thought you should take his cat to a shelter.Janet Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657220700846916566noreply@blogger.com
