My Nicotene Patch

I'm here for sure... but why am I here? Why make a blog? What do I want to share with the world, and why do I want the whole world to know?

Since last May - 15 months ago - I've played an online game called Travian. It runs 24/7, and you need to log on periodically to check your account and keep it running. It's not like some other games that stop when you log off; it keeps on going. That's what made it so addicting for me. I knew that it was always going, and it was always in the back of my mind, distracting me from work that had to be done. I could write for hours about Travian and my experiences playing, but I brought it up to answer my question: Why make a blog?

As school rolled around again, I realized that I had to quit Travian to have a successful year. Okay, maybe my mom shoved the realization in front of my eyes before I understood that I had to quit... just maybe. Simply put, this blog is my nicotene patch for my Travian playing. I'm used to spending a lot of my free time on the internet, and now I need to channel that energy into something more constructive. I needed somehthing that I could go to when I need to get my internet fix, but something that doesn't take my whole day away. A blog - my blog. The time I put into this isn't predetermined by thousands of other players on a server interacting with my account, it's determined by how much time I want to put into it.

Now that I have a blog, I'm going to pour my life story into it.
