I’m the only “strange” one too My parents seem to get over it, as long as I make sure I complain about how much work I’m doing in other areas of my life with enough regularly. (Geez, who would have though complaining had it uses. ;D)

“Well, except my parents. They care but they’re getting better. I wasn’t impressed when I discovered they were telling family friends that I did nothing but play WoW all the time.”

My mom said that to some cousins of mine who play WoW too. But they (traitors !^^) didn’t dare saying they were playing too . So I’m still the only “strange” girl in the family “playing WoW all the time”.

Haha yeah, I’ve never watched much TV it’s all crap. I rationalise it with “at least I’m enjoying my free time” because after a while I get bored surfing, reading, watching, and I like to do, which is where gaming comes in.

Also, I don’t tend to mention my being female much on my blog. Mentioned on my about page, and occasionally the bf enters a post, aside from that and “damn those teehee girls!” I just keep it to the writing. I would like to do a post damning teehee girls.. damn them.

Funny you should mention that… I’m always adamant about insisting that it is *I* who makes the boys in my life play and not the other way around. I don’t know why I care so much about it, though. I try to avoid non humourous gender stuff on the blog, but I’m such a closet bra burning feminist.

And yeah, I get that way about time wasting too. I try to rationalize it by saying “well at least I’m not watching TV” or “at least I’m not getting drunk and sleeping with strangers”.

Well, my ex was the one who originally got me playing, and his parents were quite anti-the lot of us (me, my ex, his brother, our friends) playing WoW because they were worried it would ruin our grades and that kind of thing (they were also both teachers).

I guess that’s just lead to me being a little embarrassed of my playing because I don’t want people to think that I’m wasting my time I suppose.

Also, tend to imagine most female WoW players as the forced to play by their boyfriends/husbands/male friends, that’s how most of the girls I knew when I started playing started playing themselves and it’s stuck, though I know it isn’t necessarily the case anymore.

YES! Pwn those silly boys!

I’m actually terrible at 1ps games. My brothers always hogged those games so I never got the chance to practice. I did destroy a few of my classmates at WII Boxing once though. They were all “oooookaaaaayyyyy we’ll stay clear of you”

YAY!!! Other closet gamers. My husband makes fun of me because I don’t tell anyone I play WoW. When I get stuck he will ask his friends at work what I should be doing and they always seem dubstruck. I remember the first time I played Halo with my hubby, then boyfriend, and his roomies. There was one other girl there…another girlfriend, and we were like sure. They didn’t know that I had played other 1ps games before, just not halo. We cleaned house. They were shocked. I love it when a guys notions of girls is shaken up. It is the best elated feeling in the world.

Haha! Glad you liked them.

Am I the only one out of your gazillion Facebook friends who has noticed that you’re part of a group called “Addicted to World of Warcraft”?
Oh and I hate people who are better than me at all aspects of life too. I also hate that those people are usually really nice because makes me feel guilty for hating them.

The icons are actually default wordpress ones. I saw someone else use them and was all “OMG I NEED THOSE!”
