I've skipped writing here for a couple of days. Time I had plenty, ideas abundance but no discipline. Yes, once again, I allowed myself to be a victim of indiscipline. I had made kind of a pledge to try to post here each day as a way hon my writing skills. After all, practice makes perfect.
On the contrary, the last 2 days, I had slaved myself to a new game. Scramble. It's not a new game as in just released-new, but more to I found myself drawn to it. It started as an innocent re-try, as I saw many updates of the performances of the players of the game. I myself had started this game way back, about a few months ago, but it did not take off then. I was more into another word based game.
I was intrigued as why they chose to play this game instead of others, since I felt this game was certainly much tougher. But I couldn't resist and tried my hand at it again. Then, I was hooked. I played game after game after game, with the quest to improve my rankings. Slowly, as I got the hang of the game, my points did gather, pushing my ranking up appropriately. I'm now at the second tier, from the pool of about 10 playing friends.
If I used to wake up to reading the news online, for the past three mornings now I had started the day manipulating alphabet tiles to make as many words as I can, while sipping my daily dose of caffeine. Although it has just been for the last two days, I find that the time I spent doing this is increasing. It's unhealthy, I think, as I'm foregoing my reading pages to get more time so that I move up the ranks. Very unhealthy indeed. To the point, this coffee addict felt like though she contracted had pc-poisoning yesterday, as she felt herself getting slightly nauseas sitting in front of her screen, she just couldn't stop herself. Unhealthily pathetic.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one out there stricken with such disease. It's really difficult to give up this new addiction but today, I'm trying. It may be a little worrisome to hear that I was playing the game before posting this. Nonetheless, I'm a little happy, because I managed to pull myself away to have this site updated. A great achievement compared to yesterday and the day before's condition. Maybe bestowing the label addiction to this new game is exaggerating since it was just 2 days of maddening play. My hunch says that I'm not wrong though. Trying to pull away before this addiction worsens.
