I Used to:

I used to groove to many kinds of music. Before I got stuck on FB. So I have been using YouTube.com to listen to many of the bands I would listen to before my obsession with Facebook games etc...

One of my many favorites is PHISH. Phish became one of the most significant live music phenomena of all time.


Talk about being obsessive. I fit this to the "T" I listened day and night and breathed Phish. Then it all stopped.

The End Part 2

Suddenly I had this feeling of "screw it" I have to get off Facebook Games. So I did. If you happen to come along and see that I am no longer on your Facebook Friends well then that is because you have been deleted my friend. Don't take it personally but if I am going to stop playing games then you needed to depart as well.

I am keeping Facebook open because there is loads of other stuff on there that can be of interest. For instance a blog by the name of Bitchy Waiter

Check it out it's hilarious....


Continued...

For the first time in over a year or so we went to a the movie Shrek in 3D. It was awesome. I remember as a kid getting those paper glasses, not this time they are black and remind me of The Blues Brothers. It was a great time out. We then went for a long ride trying to get lost but to no avail we ended up where we started.

We stopped and got a bite to eat at Culver's which is a hamburger joint. Which was even better because we had the chance to use our Barter Bucks and saved a bit of moola. It was such a nice day and I hope that we can do it again sometime.

I am still disappointed that I can't return to Facebook games but I will take what we did today over any foolish game again.

The End

As I sit here trying to get into my Facebook game since early this evening, I think maybe this is a sign a sign to finally close shop and get the heck out of dodge. Inside I am terrorized to think that I won't wake up to my neighbors anymore. I keep thinking of excuses of what I will miss. I won't miss a dang thing and no one will miss me. True isn't it? I play games my life is one big game. No one will care if they are missing a neighbor. No one will care if they don't receive food anymore. No one will care if I close up and say that's it.

I guess I could go back to a passion I had and Sweep to my hearts content. I did quite well with that. Won a lot of things on blog contests and of course there I go again and spend endless hours in front of the computer entering tons of stuff just to see if I can win a key chain with a company I don't even really know about. What a joke.

I guess you will have to wait and see what the outcome of my Facebook playing days will be.... Until then have a fantastic night and enjoy your loved ones.

Another day Another Game

Here I thought I was doing good. I closed all my games down, yes all of them. But then a new game came out on June 9th. There I was ready and waiting to play. FrontierVille was the game I was going to concentrate on "only." Yeah right. I have been doing great so far but I also have a little itty bitty secret. I play my son's and my DH's when they are not home. I do get things done believe it or not. My home is always clean, dishes washed and food on the table. Errands get side tracked but other than that I pretty much stay on top of things.

I don't watch t.v. anymore or spend time with DH. I just get so wound up on FB and everything else that I can't control it. I do need some help. I have three hours of free time this evening and where am I? Right here. I should be concentrating on letting my eyes get a break.

Addictions: Facebook

When I first started using Facebook I wasn't particularly interested in connecting with old friends. I wasn't interested in knowing what they were doing. I used Facebook to play the games. Cafe World, Restaurant City, Yoville and Farmville any game I could get my hands on. I played for hours and then turned into weeks. I was intrigued by how many types of food I could cook in a day. How many plants I could plant in a few hours. I timed my games to when I would wake up and when I would go to bed. I had panic attacks when I missed my food and it became spoiled. After several months of driving myself mad and my husband for that fact I stopped. Cold turkey.

But like with any addiction I relapsed. I relapsed to the point of creating not only one account but several. I was stuck. I felt like I failed and didn't share with anyone what I did all day. After beating myself up and being depressed I quit again.

I went back to my first Facebook account my original and started playing those damn games again. I don't know the joy of anything else and am stuck again. I truly don't have any control over myself and thank my higher power that it's not drugs or drinking. But it's serious and I need help.

The Mental Health industry does not find this to be a serious problem. But there are thousands of websites willing to help with internet addiction. Cognitive therapy based approaches are recommendable due to their systematic and direct focus on reducing problem use and preventing relapse, and the strong scientific support for the approach.
