When VMK takes over your life

[pirateprincessKT]

So I thought you guys would appreciate this.

So in "real life" I am an organic chemistry graduate student. I have giant presentation on Tuesday. So how am I spending my time...messing around trying to get into host pin trading event! After the first one this morning and 9 dc's while IN THE ROOM i gave up and went to the lab.


Then this afternoon's started. So I sign on, luckily get into the queue within 3 minutes, so leave it up on my computer and go to work. Basically I'm juggling liquid nitrogen, fuming nitric acid, 3 reactions and VMK! I keep checking the screen, I see I am next in the queue, I tear my lab gloves off, sit down, wait anxiously...see that the host pin is bride in the attic and I want mansion pins...i wait, I wait (I saw ctteddiesgirl behind me and tokey in front of me) i wait...and I dc. Arrrgggg! I screamed so loud!

Well, needless to say, people came running, assuming I had blown something up with the nitric acid or had some other terrible disaster...then I had to explain to my labmates all about the pin event and dc'ing...and they said...this is a kids game, right? Go back to work...


Arrrggggg! 11 dc while in the room, and scaring my lab mates...this pin event is too much for me!! Anyone else ever let VMK take over a little too much?

I'm in the lab again today and I'd just like to tell everyone that I am calmly and collectedly behaving myself with VMK, lol.

I should be writing up a 20 page research essay on Fruit Bat Dietary Preference for the Siemens Westinghouse Competition. Instead, I was on VMK all day trying to get into the rooms.

Well clearly this was research...since you are planning to trade all the pins you got for bat magic, which is highly relevent to you research since once you have to power to actually become a bat, you will know your own Dietary Preferences and hence the essay will be a cinch....

Sometimes I get VMK fever. I'm sitting in a classroom, completely insane thinking about everyone on VMK when I'm not on. When you get in the loop, and you've got all your rare and all your friends, sometimes you forget to remember that it's all VIRTUAL. It makes me laugh to think about the people who sell VMK cards on Ebay for tens of dollars when really they're not worth more than an old sock or lint at the bottom of your jean pockets. Sometimes that helps me remember that I have an actual life, not just a virtual one. Right now I'm going through VMK Addiction-Breaking Camp, hosted by gummybeargirl. She and I, along with 50 other VMKer's are taking a three-month break from VMK and instead doing things like mountain biking and baking cookies!
