Well tonight was the most fun I've had in a long time. The housing association
put on a semi-formal Winter Ball at the student union, so I went with a bunch of
friends (who all looked gorgeous in their dresses) and had a blast. It was also
a nice change of pace from just swing dances, because now I could break out all
my mad l33t ballroom dancing skillz (including the DDR swing dance). :) Girls
greatly outnumbered guys so I got the opportunity to dance with a lot of
different women, which was cool. Also took a bunch of pictures, which I'll
develop one of these days I'm sure. This dance also marks the very first time I
went to a school-related dance, as I never went to a high school dance. Anywho,
I had a blast and I can't wait to do something like this again.
Jive has a facinating article on computer game
addiction, especially with MMORPG's (Massively Multiplayer Online Role
Playing Game) such as Everquest (also known as Evercrack). It's written by a
person who never suspected that she would fall prey to the addiction, and now
currently spends much of her free time playing Anarchy Online. Even though I've
never gotten addicted to a videogame (DDR doesnt' count) I can relate somewhat
with internet addiction. In a world full of stress and headache, it was always
nice to come into a world where you get respect just for playing (or being an
active member of a forum) a long time. The power is addicting, and the ability
to get away from it all is appealing. A very interesting article and well worth
a read.
Only one more week left of the fall semester :( I miss college already and I
haven't even left yet.
