Just in case...

(I've moved this to the top of the blog as it was pointed out to me recently that many people do not read disclaimers. Now that it's at the TOP of the page, you can't blame me if you miss it.)

I'm sure most of you realize this blog is meant in fun and is in no way intended to hurt anyone's feelings, mar my husband's excellent reputation, or to be derogatory towards or defame "the game". This is my subtle attempt at satire, and also a place for people like me who simply don't understand "the game" or it's pull to many successful, middle aged men and women. Please do not send me hate mail regarding the topic, or messages telling me how immature I am for creating such an outlandish blog. Thank you.

Perhaps I Just Lack The Attention Span…

I’m sitting here in my chair in our newly emptied house – you see we are in the process of moving and most of our “little” things are at the new house – but big furniture, beds, desks – and well internet access – are still at the old abode.

I’m tired.  My legs hurt.  I can barely stand up.

Dearly Departed says he feels the same way.

So here we sit.  It’s quiet, (the TV is at the new house), it’s relaxing – we are enjoying some quiet moments.

I’m bored.

Dearly Departed must feel the same way because he’s picked up the laptop and is now indulging in some “candy” before bedtime.

My mind is racing from one thing to the next – I have so many things to do…and that’s when it hits me.

I could never play “the game”.  It takes to long to complete any one thing.  My brain isn’t wired that way – I’m constantly moving, ideas constantly evolving, thoughts darting from one subject to the next.

I’d never be able to finish a quest that takes an entire year to perform in order to get a special flying mount (I’m told the prize at the end of this one is a dragon).  Heck, I don’t even think I’d be able to run an instance through a dungeon if it took longer than fifteen minutes.

I’m just not wired that way.  I suppose I have VGAD disorder…Video Game Attention Deficit disorder.

What was I talking about again????

Well I love this site.

Thanks for pointing out how my husband feels everytime I play WOW. I had no idea the other side of the story. lol

Greatful for those who love WoW players.

I play 'the game' and I don't really get it either. That's the beauty of it. The world is massive so you can play it however you like. :)

A lot of the things that my buddies/guildmates enjoy doing I really don't like since it's too time consuming. I love games but choose to pick my own adventure when I do play, naturally what I like to do Blizzard usually doesn't consider to be an achievement.
Raiding is nice but well... again I don't want to do that too often, then it would bore me to tears. Additionally I stay busy in the real world so don't have too much time to game although I do write about WOW on one of my blogs. ;)
