Addiction
I have become addicted to an online game. It would probably be boring to most people, but this one has a certain following. You have to enter a name before you enter, and I see the same people in there over and over, just as I am. I always use X the Owl as my name - dunno why I picked that, it just popped into my head.

Here's the link:

You have a whole bunch of random letters on the screen which you have to connect to make words. I suppose it appeals to my basic sense of being a word addict. Plus, it shows everybody's scores at the end of the game, and I can't be satisfied until I'm toward the top of the list. Silly, huh? It's good to do at the end of the day to let my mind wear down.

Isn't it odd how a grown-up can't leave a game alone?
