Yeah...I'm back......sorta/kinda. :P
Sorry I've been *out of touch* the last couple of months. Job layoff, massive debt in between jobs, taking a job I didn't want to that pays a couple of hundred less a week.....and such things.......have complicated my natural way of life. :P I also work every single Saturday evening, so meetups are off my table for a while. Sigh.....I suck. At any rate, just wanted to let you guys know I wasn't dead. :P On a brighter note, I've gotten hooked on WOW. Yay me! :D

We have been wondering about you. glad you ain't dead :)

Beware the WOW addiction..... WOW is more addicting than Crack! At first you’ll start turning down social events for WOW claiming you’ve already made plans to meet up with friends. Then you will eat foods that can be prepared in the time it takes to fly to the crossroads and can be easily eaten while at the computer desk until eventually food will be phased out completely. After that goes sleeping and then you know you’ve hit rock bottom when you start turning down sex for WOW.... BEWARE my friend its a dangerous game you play! PS Kill a paladin for me please.....

>_< Domo already does that to me...

Yeah, I don't know if I'd call a World of WarCraft addiction a brighter note.

Over half of my co-workers are all hooked on that digital narcodic. To the point of an epidemic social skills failure. Over 90% of work related conversations involve WoW. Those of us who don't play WoW have been ostricized from all non-work related contact. These people show up for work looking like they're about to keel over dead because they went home and played WoW until time to return to work. Many even play WoW on their laptops during lunch hour. It's gotten so bad that these people actually speak online abbreviations out loud during the course of attempted conversation. Terms such as "WTF", "LOL", and "Agro?" have actually become a part of their normal vocabulary. One of the WoW playing employees recently started having severe financial problems about two months back and cut all of his non-essential bills, including internet. He's now ignored by all of the other WoW players because he dropped his account. One of the managers has started taking two 30-minute lunch breaks, instead of a single full hour break, so that he can engage in upto two WoW TCG games with other workers and non-workers throught the day. My sister and her husband both switched from playing EverCrack (EverQuest) to WoW back when it first was released and have done npthing else to speak of since then. And I do mean nothing. I'm talking about people so extremely lazy and addicted that they have disposable paper/plastic plates, cups, and eating utensils in their weekly budget. They only this month began to wash the laundry that had been piling up for the last three years! Mind you, they're living habits since first becoming addicted to EverCrack, and then WoW, are so bad that many of the relatives outright refuse to acknowledge having any blood relationship to them. And what's worse is that their three eldest children all have their own WoW accounts now. Friends don't let friends play WoW.

LOL

OMG! Now that's addiction! I'm no where near that bad.

No kidding. LoL. I know where mine lay. :)
