Gaia.
An addiction.
Funny, really, after my horrendous EverQuest addiction I forced myself out of three years ago, I swore off MMORPG's forever. I thought I was cured, really I did, but then I found Gaia. I find myself having the same symptoms as before, except that where it used to be waiting until 2 AM for Mayong Mistmoore to spawn again, it's now waiting until 2 AM and hitting refresh until someone from England logs on to post the next post in the RP. Pretty pathetic, I guess.
So, I'm gone from Gaia for four days. Everything's pretty slow. Nobody's really posted much, everything's quiet. Rather spontaniously, a friend asks if I want to go to Magic Mountain with her. Hell yeah! I stay with her for 4 days. I get my mind off of the s**t going on in my life, and start being sort of normal. I get back on Gaia, and EVERYTHING happened in four days. My guilds suddenly decided to do things, and I'm not there for them. I found myself running around frantically trying to mop up some messes left behind me. I'm more stressed about Gaia than I am about cleaning my room in real life. This is horrible. Maybe I should let Gaia alone for a while, or limit myself to two hours a day...but I like it too much.
