I hated it spamming my friends list and B. if I wanted to do stupid meaningless repetitive chores with no real hope of advancement, I could just wait ten minutes and change the baby’s diaper again. Oh well, at least it gives me a way to explain the amount of time I spend playing WoW to other people.

If I want to see arbitrary numbers increase over time with actions I take I’ll stick to my MMOs.

>.> Anyways, as I was saying…

Legend of the Red Dragon reference makes me almost tempted to log into my Facebook account, which I NEVER touch except for reference purposes.

And so, by way of DOOMING you (Andrew), try googling ‘Legend of the Green Dragon Seth Able’…

Mooohahahahahaha.

I had to quit it cold turkey due to obsession/addiction. :P
