Haven't done one of these tests in ages...

( The World of Warcraft Addiction Test )

I found this community: anti_wow. It's full of women complaining about how their lazy, fat-ass boyfriends and husbands play WoW all day and don't have sex with them anymore. While I do sympathise with some of them (somewhat), I feel like they should just bash their errant WoW-addicted males over the head with a keyboard or something. Hell, that's what I'd want my girlfriend to do if I ever become as much of a jerk as what some of those men sounded like.

In other news.

I'm procrastinating somethin' fierce. Ever since I got up 2 hours ago, I've been procrastinating. I have like, half a day to finish this huge ass research assignment, and ZOMG I'M STILL PROCRASTINATING.

I stopped playing WoW (for the time being) so I could study, but it hasn't stopped me from procrastinating.

*twitch*

ZOMG LILIAN GO DO YOUR ESSAY.

*bangs head on desk repeatedly*

ZOMG.

Cancelling WoW

ZOMG. So I'm cancelling my WoW subscription for the first time (just for 5 days, nobody panic) and the process is hilarious! It asks you to state your reason for quitting from a drop down menu, and a customised response appears to try to get you to reconsider.

It goes something like this:

Reason for quitting: School
Their response: Yes, dedication to studies is very good... but you can still play on weekends... and during school holidays... and after school... and before school.

Reason for quitting: Vacation
Their response: Vacations are fun... but did you know you can log on from different places around the world? You may find that while bird watching in sub-saharan Africa, you still have time to play World of Wacraft.

Reason for quitting: Parental control
Their response: We totally understand that you need to keep track of your WoW-addicted brats. But... did you know we've implemented a thing called "Parental Control" that allows you to manage your child's gameplay? No need to cancel the account at all. Really.

Reason for quitting: Too expensive
Their response: That's because WoW is such a good game. And really, we're still a lot cheaper than other forms of entertainment. Like drugs. And prostitutes.

Reason for quitting: All my friends stopped playing
Their response: But... but... you can make more friends! And join the many various guilds on World of Warcraft! And join scary religious cults! You can do this by typing "O" on your keyboard.


etc.

Ahahahaha. Blizzard is so delightfully soul-destroyingly evil.

*hugs WoW* I'll be back soon, my sweet.

A very long book meme

In my attempt to procrastinate just that little bit longer, I've gone and found the biggest book meme I could find. :-D


Instructions:
1. Bold those books you've read.
2. Italicize started-but-never-finished.
3. Add 3-5 of your own. (don't repeat any)
4. Post to your livejournal.
