Addictions

I'm sure most of you out there are on Facebook. I resisted it for as long as I could but then signed up. It wasn't really all that interesting to me. Then some asshole sent me a tree. That one little tree has started an addiction that cannot be undone.

I Laura am addicted to Farm Town!

I'll start from the beginning. Farm Town is a little world where you are a farmer. You start with a little bit of money, plant crops, make more money. As you make more money, you plant more crops, buy animals and farm equipment. You visit your friends farms and help them clean up and harvest their crops. You make money for doing these little things.

Farm Town is crack for the Facebook user. My own mother keeps coming over to my farm asking for money. She needs more more more! I don't know what it is about this place. I don't know if it's the ability to make money...I make far more money on there then in real life. However, you have to be patient and wait for things to grow. Some thing only take one day, some three...but you have to wait. They keep you wanting more! I'm sure it's a good idea but it drives me crazy, you can only do so much work on there per a day. Then you have to wait for tomorrow to work again. However, I have to thank them for this. If they didn't do this, I would be on this stupid game ALL DAY LONG! I would loose hours and days of my life to this game.

Mario and I plan when to harvest the crops. Now my sister-in-law now meets us online from work to harvest. Now my own mother is on this game all the time. As I'm writing this she has gone and raked my farm for money and points.

I even whored myself out last night for the stupid game. I friended some twerp in Texas, so that I could add another neighbor and reach another milestone. I don't know this guy and I don't want to. But I want those stupid points, coins, trophies and harvests. I woke up feeling ashamed...and then I signed in and got my trophy for the extra neighbor and didn't care any more about my whoring...because I GOT MY TROPHY!



PS as you can see there is one more spot for a neighbor...I know you want that spot!

  2. That is why I don't use any of the FB applications. I already spend WAY too much time on FB.

  3. I have never heard of this game. I am already addicted to too many things related to the internet so I won't even check this out so I don't get hooked.

    I was hooked on the diner dash type games available all over the web. Now those ARE addicting.
