Oh You Pretty Things!

"You do know that the world of warcraft is not really a real place?"
you will never catch me playing world of warcraft, talking about how my rouge just hit level 80, or about how crazy the raid was last night. this doesn't sound like the language one non-player would use, but you see my boyfriend is an addict. id spend hours on ventrillo listening to herbert, brad, joey, and JARELENGOLD! talking about leveling, and trading accounts, and everything else they could possibly do on that game. 

i'v heard from many of my world of warcraft playing friends that the game gets depressing, and its obvious to see why. in order to play, you must first buy the installation disc, which is $19.99, and could be found in most electronic stores. with that, you get one free month of the game, and then you must pay $50.00 a month. so think about it. you spend all your money on a game you're addicted to. you don't go out because you would rather be home raiding, and on top of that you aren't even going to a real place! it is so addicting that China has put a limit on game play for children under 18, after three hours the player would be kicked off! it seems like you are not getting you're money's worth, but oh wellllll. 

yes and these are the kinds of kids who play this game.

at one point in our relationship, i considered investing in the game. they where all so obsessed with it, then why not? i may as well get in on the action. i changed my mind when i realized that it would take over our relationship! if the game was so powerful that it could take over people's lives and emotions, then it could easily be the only thing we would ever talk about! i love my boyfriend through sickness and health, well this is his sickness. and when i come to think about it, do i really want to talk about is what guild i'm part of, or how much gold ill lend him tomorrow?  there is no way. i'm not going to become a part of this. sorry cho'gall i guess you'll have to do without my game play for now.
