Gaming addiction
Since I have a design block and a bit of a writing block now, I find myself bored from time to time. So firstly, I got myself back into Pokemon Ruby and now I’m officially back into MapleStory. Seriously, ouch.
I loved Pokemon when I was little and I still find it great. I was stuck halfway in Ruby a couple of years ago and never broke through it. But now, it’s just all fun again – recollecting childhood times. Who here has never played Pokemon before? You need to get off the Internet and get into it! 
I sigh at the thought of MapleStory. I got married in the game this February to a great guy. After he and many friends quit, the addiction gradually brushed off and I have not touched it until this month. Now what? It’s holiday time again and almost everyone is back into it, including him. (What can I say? A wife has to follow her husband!) So I logged on to say hi but I… couldn’t get my bum off it. From the sweet girl in February to the gothic bum in December…

This is why you shouldn’t start any MMORPQ games like MapleStory and if you ever do, don’t get married.
To counter my addiction, I’m going to set up a daily holiday timetable to ensure I also do other things I enjoy: reading, writing and chatting. I am not going to let myself get into that mega 11am-1am game routine like the previous summer. I have to admit that was great fun though. But how do you battle addictions?
