WOW

Not wow as in "amazing" or "spectacular" wow as in stupid World of Warcraft. I HATE that game. In case that's not clear enough, I absolutely despise, loathe, abhor, and detest that game. It disgusts me. It repulses me. It makes me sick. And my boyfriend is addicted to it. It's making me crazy. what makes it worse is that he knew before he started playing that I hated that game. and he said he hated it too. But then he got the trial, and he promised it would end with that, but then his brother bought him the game and everything spiraled out of control. It got to the point where he would wake up and turn on the game, and he would get back from class and play the game, and he would get back from eating and play the game, and he would stay up way too late playing that stupid game. If I wanted any attention from him I had to act out in some way, and honestly it made me mad at myself when I had to do something annoying as mess just to get a response! So the other day i confronted him about this massive issue and we almost had a fight. But it did make him realize that this was a problem and I'm happy to say he is playing much less than he was. That game has ruined people's lives. There was an instance in china where a man literally stabbed another man in the back because he had stolen something from him in the game. My friend's dad went to rehab for the game. He had FIVE computers in one room and he would play on five different accounts at the same time. it got so bad that he had put their family over $5,000 in debt. he lost his job, his house, and his car because he was so absorbed by that ridiculous game. I'm hoping that Billy will drop this game soon, but I fear that as long as his brother and friends are playing he will too. He says that it's his "guy time" and it's how he spends time with his brother. I can't stand that reason. I really can't. He can spend time with his brother in real life. he can do other things with his friends. Real life does exist. I know, I live it. I know real people, and I know what they look like, and suprise suprise, none of them are green or half cow or running around wearing armor and killing things. They are real. It's amazing, I know. So there's my blog/rant for tonight. Hope you enjoyed it!

  1. I wonder if there's a World of Warcraft victims' support group, kind of like AlaTeen for children of alcoholics. If not, maybe you should develop a 12-step program and start one!
