The Addiction. . .

I don’t know what is it about WoW that just lures me back into addiction mode the instant I sit down with it.

So as many of my WoW buddies can testify, I haven’t played the game for several months now. Several months ago I got tired of playing games and just wanted to read books. Then work got busy so I was too exhausted by the time I got home to even want to boot up my computer. It wasn’t until this past Sunday I decided to hop on (since I was paying the monthly subscription anyways) to see what’s been happening with my old friends. Then I remembered how much I loved playing new characters and exploring new maps along with new abilities, so I picked up a small character I created just before leaving the game. She was fun~

So Sunday turned into Monday which of course lead us to Tuesday. For 3 nights now I have not been getting as much sleep as I usually did when I WASN’T gaming, and which leads us to this Wednesday remorseful post. I n-e-e-d sleep. Sunday night wasn’t too horrible, I think I played until midnight but ended up watching a few Japanese Variety Shows which brought me up to 1:30 before I got into bed. Monday night, having learned my lesson I quit while I was ahead and was in bed around midnight. Tuesday night, oh the downfall.

It was close to midnight when I was going to call it when I decided to party up with lower lvls to just help them with quests. I’m all about questing and always appreciate help when offered so I like to in-turn help others. You never know when favors will be needed, so as a general rule I help those who ask and I’m not busy. So one quest leads to another and on to another and 4 quests later it was pushing 1 o’clock. Ack! I begged off on the next quest, mainly because I needed to turn my own quests in and my pitiful bags (6 slots x2) was full. Actually it has been full since I partied up, but I didn’t mind. Thinking I was just going to go to the AH and Bank then turn in my quests and call it a night. But it turns out that one of the players I was helping out had a higher leveled character and he offered to help me out on a few of my quests that I had cute little huntress hide handed back to me. It was something I mentioned in the passing when we happened to have seen one of my targets while helping him on his quest. Zoom! Quicker than that, in comes his Pally and off we went. Finishing 4 quests (2 was a related quest that was in the same area as the 3^rd quest). It was closer to 2 before I begged off. Thanking politely and happy I finished 2 red quests and very worried that I wasn’t going to wake up on time tomorrow.

This morning was the first time in several months in which was actually awoken by my alarm clock. Normally I wake up at 6-7am to peer at the clock to see how much more I can sleep, then around 8-ish I wake up and become to stressed about time to fall back asleep. I’ve learned to utilize the 1^st wake-up as a time to close my window to muffle the 7:30am call of the neighboring children, and closing the blinds because the sun rise shines directly into the closet mirror which in turns shines right onto my eyes.

Well this morning, it didn’t happen. When the alarm went off, my first thought was CRAPOLLA! I’m running late. Wasn’t too bad, I skidded into the door and was in my work station just 5 minutes later than usual.

So, my eyelids did not being to function properly until closer to 9:30am, but the morning went by as usual. Then around 3:30 I was ready to cry. WHY IS TIME GOING SO SLOOOW. It was 4:45 when I started writing this, hoping to pass time quicker. I am multi-tasking which makes me happy because it DOES make time go by faster. I promise myself that I’m going home and going to bed! (Not going to happen though, know myself too well)

Either way, EARLY BED TIME today. I hope. I’ll keep you all posted.

Please ignore that horrible English grammar and punctuation. I have no desire to put things right today. I’m all about putting commas wherever the heck I want today and incomplete sentences sounds just about how well I’m functioning now.
