We Won't Take No For An Answer...

i'm addicted to facebook. more importantly, though, i'm addicted to a facebook application called Mafia Wars. i've tried to deny it. even verbally saying 'i'm not an addict...i just check it a few times a day'. yeah. *ahematleasttentimesadayahem* i think i have a problem.

in the beginning, it was nothing. i'd check it every couple of days. the jobs were kinda lame and the Godfather only gave me 10 pts (which i promptly used on something i didn't need to use them on). after a few weeks of getting higher and higher levels, the jobs got a lil better. it became easier and faster to level up and make money.

then...the zynga gods released Cuba. i became obsessed with getting to a high enough level to go see what Cuba was about. finally...after 2 weeks of working on it at least once a day, i got to fly to Cuba. the jobs netted you more level points and they seemed cooler (take out the local police chief vs the lame corner store hold-up). pretty soon i started leveling up every other day. then, they announced Russia! by the time Russia was open, i had hit the level needed to fly there. i started racking up the rubles in no time.

now, i check my facebook page to play Mafia Wars multiple times a day. i've been drawn into it! i even check it from school sometimes! this begs the question: is this a bad thing? it's not like i'm icing real mobsters...it's not like i'm pulling real heists. that's cool, right? right?!

*side note*
during the writing of this blog...i've check the game twice. am i sick? or just having fun...a lot? besides, i can't leave the family...there would be 'consequences'.
