I know I am writing a fair amount in this blog , which I don't plan on doing in the near future. I need something to fill the void. My energy was out in Mafia wars, and there was nothing left I could do to improve my level.
My Happy Aquarium fish were so...happy. They don't know that they will be deleted soon. Poor fish. Like Pompeii of the virtual world.
I'm conflicted, half of this blog so far is me mocking those who struggle with a silly addiction, like facebook games but being dramatic, as if it were a REAL addiction.
Yet part of me is a little frustrated that I have nothing left to do but work. I have a MASSIVE amount of reading, and no petville to stop me.
I hope one can distinguish one from the other. I don't think so.
Anyway wish me luck on my reading, and all the other stuff that needs to get done. I'm back from Spring Break and already I have a list the size of the Empire State Building.

Day 1
I felt a great weight off my shoulders earlier today, it was a brief moment of clarity, like someone who found Jesus. It's a bad comparison, I know but it 2:20AM and my senses are by no means what they should be. Anyway, I realized that I won't have to "feed/take care" of all those stupid apps anymore! Nothing will happen because they are GONE! Technically this is my first day without MOST of my facebook apps. It takes 40 days (If I recalled correctly) for the games to reset themselves so IF you decide to reload it, you will start from scratch.
But with some extra time, because I will JUST check my e-mail and nothing else, because I won't have the apps to distract me, I may be able to get that play done for my Theater class AND the 50 pages of that book I had to read a week ago but didn't start until Saturday! I still have Mafia Wars and Happy Aquarium, but rather than take 30 min, it will take like 10min or so. Not even, I bet. PHEW! Of course, my will have a breakdown and there goes all my time. Now I'm being whiny, and that's NOT what this is for. I shall now check my Happy Aquarium AND Mafia Wars, read 12 pages, then hit the sack. Maybe I can get a few hours of much needed rest.

Impulse Moment
Hi there! My name is Kate!
I guess this will be sort of a journal of mine. I go to college, and finally realized (although my grades aren't sinking as a result of this addiction) that the Facebook games were eating away at my existence. I have put off friends, procrastinated on homework, wasted away hours of my youth on goddamn Farmville. So, today, out of impulse, I removed the following:
1) Farmville: The first and biggest. My farm was QUITE an impressive establishment. I had 50+ trees and animals. While it wasn't the most MASSIVE of ALL farms, it was pretty big. I harvested and grew. I think my farm really started to become impressive last semester when my friends, Jackie and Jose would go on Farmville with me during my English class. The professor KNEW we were on the computers, but she only caught us a couple of times, and she merely told us to shut it off. It was great, we had an hour every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to goof off. The best part was was that were were one of the few in the class who participated REGULARLY. Oh, the irony!
Then I went to a harder college, and I can't goof off during class AND get an "A" in said class. Darn that overachiever in me.
2) Petville
3) Fishville
4) Pet Society
5) Happy Habitat
6) Triple Triad
7) Cafe Society
I felt horrible as I deleted Petville and Pet Society. My heart sank, I feel like something in my life is missing, like I committed and atrocity to someone who I care for deeply. My poor creatures, they didn't even know it was coming! And I had taken care of them this morning! PLUS, I had this really cute cat and dog in Pet Society and I liked to take of them because they were so cute, and I miss my dog and cats back home and...
I am not helping myself. I know they are virtual, I swear I am not that stupid.
Happy Habitat and Triple Triad weren't THAT hard for me to delete, I was losing interest in them, and although I dabbled a bit in those games, but nothing SERIOUS.
I had stopped playing Cafe Society a while ago, it bored me, and my food kept spoiling. I was sane enough to realize that I couldn't plan my life on a virtual game. Although I did try for Cafe Society and Farmville. To be fair, I haven't planned my life around those games in a while. Life is too chaotic.
Speaking of which, I have to head to a club now, an hour of absolute boredom. Yuck. But when I return I will NOT be able to go back onto all those different facebook applications. Yay?
Except two. Happy Aquarium, because I have fish that still need to grow (yeah, yeah I know) but they should ALL be "grown" in about a week, which is when I will sell them all and remove it. The other game (application) is Mafia Wars, which I may keep, because you collect certain goods you buy with virtual cash. There is a certain limit, you buy/upgrade so you can collect money, in a few hours. This may actually help studying, every two hours or so, I will take a break and check my Mafia, and then when I am done, I will go back to studying.
OK, I am now running late. Merde.
