What is it about Sunday's that make me want to bear my soul? I have something I am ready to confess. It's a burden I have born for awhile now. It's not anything I struggle with anymore. It's an addiction I have already dealt with and have successfully replaced with blogging. I have to tell someone. I know this isn't a little booth, with a screen and a mild mannered man of the cloth dozing on the other side, but this forum will have to do. Before I discovered blogging I wasted my time on the computer with Neopets and Zuma.
I own/owned four Neopets, complete with Pet-pets and Pet-pet-pets. I have a Neohome and over 1 million Neopoints. Do have any idea how many wasted hours 1 
million Neopoints represents. I would probably have a lot more too if I hadn't wasted so much of it on the "Luck Games." That is just a nicer name for Neopet gambling.
million Neopoints represents. I would probably have a lot more too if I hadn't wasted so much of it on the "Luck Games." That is just a nicer name for Neopet gambling. Zuma was my other obsession. I made it all the way to space. You didn't know there was a Space Level? After you go as far as you can go and you think you have finally won the game, a space ship comes and picks you up and take to up the stars to play a free flowing weightless game that is near impossible to beat. I have never done it.
Yep, that's it. There you have it. I think blogging is a major step up from those days. Now that you know, I feel like a weight has been lifted. I am going light 17 candles and recite 50 Hail Mary's.
Now it's your turn. What is your Sunday Confessional? Don't worry, I won't judge.
Om well my husband is the hard core Zuma player in the house but I have gotten pretty far quite fast with that game.
ReplyDeleteI do however have a neopets account (I am lissa2061 if you want to be my neofriend). I am in awe of you having 1 million neopoints, I am not quite there since I wasted a lot of my early neopoints on junk. My favorite game is Koujong.
Ah...a kindred spirit.
ReplyDeleteWow. I had no idea such a vice existed.
ReplyDeleteMine is computer worship. I should name it "the golden calf".
I am obsessed with checking my email...it's ridiculous really.
ReplyDeleteI need to check out this neopets thing you speak of.
"...to play a free flowing weightless game that is near impossible to beat". Maybe you haven't tried hard enough ;)
ReplyDelete1 million Neopoints+?!? Oh wow!OH WOW. I had a Neopet account once but I never had near enough Neopoints, not even, ever. I don;t evn know I know the password. Probably all my (3) Neopets went to the pound already.
I'm just obssesed with the Internets in general. I watch a lot of movies. LOTS. And videos. Even more lots.
Thanks for not judging me.
Great. That game is awesome! I shall play it more when I'm more awake.
ReplyDeleteneopet gambling sounds funny. Like furry critters in a circle smoking cigars and yelling, "hit me!"
ReplyDeletemy sunday (monday a.m.) confession would be that when i buy groceries i usually don't pick the outermost item, i usually grab the second or third box of mac and cheese or whatever? why? i don't know. probably because i am as my kids say, "freakable".
ReplyDeleteMy name is Tama and I am a yarn-aholic and knit-aholic. (Hi, Tama). It is a very sad disease which controls every aspect of my life. I find myself irresistably drawn to knitting magazines and yarn no matter where I am--Wal-mart, Hobby Lobby, Borders, the internet, Grocery store, etc. (and wal-mart is the bottom of the barrel, it has the nastiest, worst yarn on the face of the planet, but I still go look at it). And that's not all, I must confess, I purchase way too much yarn and knitting books and magazines. I have more yarn and patterns than I would ever use in two lifetimes. I have yarn and books hidden all over the house. If the husband ever knew how much money I spend...OH THE SHAME!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm like Lauren- I check my emails obsessively.
ReplyDeleteGo my child, and sin no more.
Hi, I'm Dedee (Hi Dedee) and I am addicted to material. (Tami, I used to have your problem, but not any more.) I love material. I love to look at colors and match them and buy them and put them in my big stash. Like you Tami, my dh has no idea how much money I have spent. I love quilt books and designing them and I have more material than I will ever use. It's great!
ReplyDeleteOh. . .
Wait. . .
I'm supposed to be confessing here. Doesn't that mean I'm supposed to curb my craving. . .
Well looks like warped I mean great minds think alike. I had a secret confession post on my blog yesterday too.
ReplyDeleteConfession- I love dollar stores and cant stop buying crap that no one needs or would ever need but somehow I need.
Wow! Say the word "cofessional" and the comments come rolling in!
ReplyDeleteTMM-I blame my nephews for showing me these games.
Lauren-The neopets are cute, but needy! Beware.
NCS-I have been away so long, my pets must be starving to death by now. I bet half of them have parvo!
Carrotjello-It's great fun when you hit them with the ray gun and change their species and then spend thousands of neopoints trying to find a potion to turn them back.
Catherine- I love that confession. I could see myself doing that.
ReplyDeleteTama-I think that is a good obsession. Keep up the good work! And thanks for the tip on the yucky Walmart yarn. Bad Walmart yarn! Bad!
Tori-Good to know I can always reach you via e-mail. I hate when people have an account and only check it a couple times a month. Why bother with e-mail then?
Dedee- I hope we get a chance to meet sometime. I would love to see your handiwork. I don't quilt, but I would like to someday.
Jean Knee- It's amazing what we will buy just because it only costs a dollar.
The dollar is the new quarter, don't you think?
Love the confessional... it's just as fun as Tracy's "Things I suck at..." list :)
ReplyDeleteI too collect way too much fabric. I buy pieces for absolutely no reason. I have no project to work on. It's just cute. I too love Zuma, but prefer Poppit (pogo games). Something just floats my boat about popping those little balloons over and over again... discovering patterns, saving my helps till the end... sigh... it's madness I tell you!
Melissa-I wish you hadn't told me about Poppit. I predict 6 hours at least of my life, wasted.
ReplyDeleteNever knew that neopets was such a big deal. I'll make sure to stay away seeing as how I have an addictive personality.
ReplyDeleteI love Poppit too! I'll have to check out neopets sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteMy confession......
I make my Hubby Do all of the laundry.... (except princesses....he can't touch hers)
I gave my oldest to Neopets, she starts and I don't see her for awhile. I wonder if they are willing to take a few more, today.
ReplyDeleteI want to join in the fun an confess (there is something I have never said before) I confess I sometimes pull hubbys dirty jeans out of the laundry and fold and put them away. What? We have a tiny washer and dryer, he can wear them one more time...or twice. I feel free, and light. So does my laundry.
Ah, so much to confess, so little time to confess it.
ReplyDeleteI am a secret member of Millie's computer worshipping religion, I could spend all day surfing the internets and not have anything to show for it at the end (not even one Neopoint). I love Zuma but only play the free version so I can't beat the whole thing. You may as well add puzzle games of all shapes and sizes. I have loved them ever since we had the first Nintendo game system when I was young and I would dream in Tetris. I must play the games until I beat them. Fortunately I finally beat all of hexic so maybe I can stay away from that one. I buy fabric and patterns but I don't really sew very well, I just keep accumulating. I have a weakness for craft stores. I also have a horrible need to take advantage of a good deal even if I don't really need it. For instance a place was selling a set of three DVDs and three CDs for 70% off of retail. I didn't really want the CDs, and had two of the DVDs but I was still tempted. I check blogs more than once a day just in case, even if they already posted that day.
Heff, if you need a new PSP game, I like Lumines. My brother-in-law gave it to me while I was visiting and it's pretty fun.
ReplyDelete(sniff) I miss Super Mario Bros.
Oh - I also have folded cuts of fabric and patterns my kids have now outgrown lying around. It's like a disease.
ReplyDeleteAmong other things.....I am far too attached to my computer. As far as games go, I used to play fowlwords until I dreamed about it. I also love/hate to play Diner Dash. It's addictive but raises the stress level a notch.
ReplyDeleteI confess....no matter WHO puts dishes in the dishwasher...I re-arrange them. Strange thing is, I WANT someone else to put them in, I just want to re-arrange them. Sadly, I do this with nearly everything. As if there is only ONE right way.....I also read the directions on EVERYTHING....I am not kidding....Mister says if there was directions on toilet paper I would read that too....I tell him I wouldn't.......besides...there isn't directions on toilet paper, so there!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Sodak, I do that Too! I can't stand it whenthe dishwasher isn't loaded the way that I would do it! I try not to look when my hubby loads..... cuz if I do, I have to re load it.
ReplyDeletesame here with the dishwasher...I tell them "If you're going to load it wrong...hurry and wash them, and put them away before I see it!"
ReplyDeleteI have a crush on Sheppard Smith.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Shepard is such a pretty boy. We could share eyeliner.
ReplyDeleteSTOP! I love the polka dots! Don't change a thing!!
ReplyDeleteMy neopet's name is Snickerdoodle258.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to think all day of a good confession, but I can't think of anything I can share that either 1: won't be too revealing; or 2: that I haven't already described at length.
ReplyDeleteCan I confess I don't know what a neopet is?
I pretend like I'm scratching my nose with my middle finger so my kids don't know I'm flipping people off that do rude things while I'm driving.
ReplyDeleteI gossip on the phone with Internet friends about people I know in real life. :0
A spoiled brat little girl in my 3rd grade class started crying when she opened the gift from me during the Christmas Gift Exchange because it wasn't anything Hello Kitty. I denied that I brought it because I didn't want anything to ruin the happiness I had found with what I got. A fancy Hello Kitty stamper kit.
ReplyDeletea little embarassed to say this but i have a feeling i'm not the only one who does it:
ReplyDeletei thoroughly enjoy cyber stalking.
you know, old roomates, guys i liked, dated, old friends. and its kinda fun to have a husband who is an attorney because they have LOTS of stalking resources. Or so I hear.
another confession is searching on EBAY for stuff. I don't buy it, I just like to look for it. weird huh?
ReplyDeleteand i buy stuff thats on sale, just because its on sale, not because i need it. hence the latest shoe posts on my blog.
ReplyDeleteok. i'll stop.
I am loving all these confessions. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteOh, the dishwasher! We don't have one, but when we did I had to have everything symetrical. I have been known to get a drink of water just to dirty a cup so I could have balance in my dishwasher. Its probably best that we don't have one.
ReplyDeleteMillie: We found a website that lets you download Nintendo games on the computer and play them just like the real thing. We have Super Mario Bros on the computer. You can get it for FREE.
ReplyDeleteHeff-I would like the link to the Super Mario games. It's not for me...oh no...honest. It's for my boys;)
ReplyDeleteI compare myself to other bloggers and sometimes think sadly 'Oh, they're so funny.' Or, 'holy crap! This blog is lame but they have 101 comments on it.'
ReplyDeleteI know that we think alike on that one, Annie.
Oh my goodness, how eery! I started playing Zuma a few weeks ago and can't stop. My hubby thinks I'm ridiculous, but I love computer games. I have been addicted to them ever since I got Pole Position and Ms. PacMan on our Commodore 64 computer when I was 8!
ReplyDeleteI also am addicted to ribbon. Ribbon of all kinds: satin, sheer, variegated, moire, etc... I will not confess how many spools I own! It's impossible for me to have too much ribbon.
Whew! Thanks, Annie! I feel much better now that those things are off my chest! :D
I don't have any matching towels. Is there some advice you could share with me?
ReplyDeleteTwo more: I like my blog better than anyone else's and I find it funny when other drivers get upset by my driving. I actually smiled at someone yesterday - not a nice smile, a Dwight Schrute evil smile.
I tipped the wagon over, it is all my fault. I have to come clean. I did.
