Addicted

It's come to my attention recently that I have an addictive personality. I'm not 100% sure that's the right way to say that, because it makes it sound like my personality has qualities that get people addicted to it (which may be contrary to reality). What I really mean is that I'm easily addicted to things.
My most recent addiction is an XBox game called Knights of the Old Republic II. It's a Star Wars role-playing game. I got it for Christmas but I didn't really play it much once I got back to school. Then last week I was sittin' at home alone and felt like playing a game, so I put it in, and I was hooked. I get so wrapped up in the storyline from it that I start to forget (or hope?) that it's not real and that it's just a video game.
So I'm fasting from the game today because I think if I don't get this under control that I'm going to start using my Franklin planner to schedule what levels I'm going to beat instead of important things, like homework and classes.

Reality Bites

It's weird how reality television sucks you in. I really hate reality television, but every now and then I get stuck on it. American Idol, for instance. We just watched it one time and then we needed to watch it again to see who won, and so on and so on. Don't let anyone tell you that just one won't hurt. Anyone can be an addict. Jordan used to record America's Top Model and watch it when he got home at night, and it didn't take long before I was all into it and wanted to see what happens. If I'm not careful I might get stuck on the Great Race, too.
