...you roll your baby's highchair over to your desk so you can play VMK while you feed him

...then you get so wrapped up in searching for hidden mickeys that you forget you're supposed to be feeding him and he falls asleep

...but you don't even notice that he's asleep until you come out of the fireworks game and realize how quiet it is!

...and then instead of feeling properly ashamed of yourself, your first thought is that you will tell your Enter Caught friends about this and they will lol !


People, I need serious help!

It's O.K. My whole family thinks I am insane now. They are always making fun of me for playing VMK. I can't stop. I am finding myself thinking about it when I am not even home. That is crazy! It is funny because when I get on and none of my favorite "friends" are on there I get sad. If that isn't scary I don't know what is..... I also freaked out tonight when I couldn't get on! Help me too! graemlins/crazy.gif

The first thing you do after coming home from work, where you have been sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours is log on to get a fix before dinner.

When you announce to your family memebers you want to be on VMK between 7:00 and 7:30 the latest cause you are going to meet your friend Berri who you worked and talked with all day

If you have a college placement test and you say you aren't going on VMK cause you need some sleep. Then you give yourself a 9pm cut off time to go to bed, then 9:30, then 10:00 and it would have kept going up had VMK not booted you off and you take that as a sign

I've been having VMK dreams! I've always had vivid dreams but now I can read the conversations and I'm entering different rooms at Disney. This is serious stuff :eek:

Also I find myself telling my DS he can't use the computer because I need to do something important, and then I turn around and log on to VMK! Yikes when he catches me I'll be in trouble :D

And janebanks - I've done something similar! One day my DS was watching TV and all of the sudden it gets really quiet and I realize he's fallen asleep. Instead of taking advantage of that time to get something done, I keep playing VMK!

</font> You start spelling numbers as won, too, tree, for, hive, sick... too and tea, for tea, hive tea...etc.</font> You start spelling greetings as "aw low ha"</font> You've strangely found out that on VMK you can say kills but not love. :confused:</font> You've not only found all 50 Mickeys, you've written all of their locations down and help people find them.</font>

You won't let your kids play on the computer because you are "doing some work". My poor kids have been wanting to play their games and I don't want to get off to let them. We need another computer in this house soon.

...when you're too busy playing to make dinner. I had to force myself away from my computer to eat!

...when you were present for both the opening and closing of vmk for the day. Yep that's me. graemlins/blush.gif

Hey Agnes!! You're too funny!! Good topic by the way, I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who is crazy about this game!!

Sometimes when I'm washing the dishes I swear I can hear the music from the tiki room in the background, lol graemlins/silly.gif !!

...Your laundry is piled so high you can't reach the top.
...Your husband has lost 10 pounds in the last week because you've told him to fend for himself 6 out of the 7 dinners.
...You dog growls at you because he hasn't seen you in a week and no longer recognizes you.
...The flies have begun to swarm around the kitchen sink.

LOL Ok, maybe it's not that bad, but give me a few more days and I swear it's possible.

OK now I know I am obsessed. I had constant dreams about VMK last night. When I woke up this morning I had to admit my obsession to myself.

</font> You type an entire email without any punctuation whatsoever.</font> Inexplicably, you refer to your husband as your "male wife" or "other half" on a far too frequent basis.</font> You start reading feng shui books so that your VMK room will be arranged in a peaceful, harmonious way. Meanwhile, your male wife has to use various piles of dirty dishes as landmarks to find his way around your actual house.</font> You ride the real Jungle Cruise and startle your fellow passengers by screaming "YES! SCORE!!!" every time you take a picture.</font> You start whistling the background music from your room.</font> When explaining the day's VMK activities to others in your household, you refer to your friends HauntedMansionFreek, CutiePye, and Guest12748 with a totally straight face.</font> You lie awake at night wondering what kind of games they'll have when they finally open Frontierland, and also, do those green sandals really go with that purple Tink t-shirt, or was your friend Diznyrulz just being nice when she said yes its fine seriously i promise?</font>

I too have had VMK dreams and dream of conversations between me, punchcat and snarky. :eek:

- When the family is fighting over VMK and who gets the computer so you actually go out and buy another computer. Of course it is a gift to our boys for getting straight "A's". At least that is what DH and I are saying. graemlins/crazy.gif

- Even when you log off you feel like you missing something and log back on!

So tonight... my real friend calls on a real phone and I tell her I can't talk because I'm helping snarky kill the pirates (insert very long quiet pause here). She has no idea what that means and yet eventually she started to laugh and said "Your pathetic. You have no life" and she hung up.

My clue is... you've been telling yourself "5 more minutes" for the last 4 hours...

You know you are obsessed with VMK when you have your loved ones call you buy your VMK name. In my case, that is Zumop.

I get my AIM screen name and VMK mixed up sometimes. I was talking with my friends online last night, and they said, "Hi Sam." I was like, "Sam who?"

Meghan
06-27-2005, 05:42 PM
... You're asked by your boss not to play VMK when you sit at the back computer because people walking by can see your computer screen, but you play anyways, being careful to quickly minimize the window if you hear her voice nearby.

Its a sad, addicted life I lead...

For the summer, until I move into my new apartment September 1st I'm subleting a friends place, and since she doesn't have the internet, I moved my computer to my parents house which I'm only at on the weekends. They don't have DSL at home so I can only play at work, (I'm a receptionist and the phone hardly ever rings so its ok) but only on certain computers that don't face the entire office. And yet I play every day regardless of where I'm sitting. Sigh. graemlins/shakehead.gif

...when you have a song stuck in your head ALL DAY and you realize it's your OWN music game mix!

...when you instant message people outside of VMK or post on a message board and use the "alternative" words even though there is no dictionary outside of VMK (I was conscious of this even on this very post)

...when you have a big presentation tomorrow and this was your day off and you didn't start working on the presentation until midnight (reluctantly!) because you've been playing all day. Yeah, I'm in trouble now... :eek:

...when the highlight of your day is getting a "Here from Day 1" badge and a new pirate's costume magic pin (I actually cheered aloud for that one)

yeah..you do need some help and help is here. This is what i did to get away from vmk. ground yourself. Seriously. ground urself from vmk. You can still go on the computer and stuff. I mean think about it... do ur real frineds go on? what would happen if they found out you did? or do they know and you never bring up the subject? awkward... so ground yourself and everytime that you dont go onto the computer.. you give yourself a treat. My friends knew that i was obbsessed and when i told them what i was doing the challenged me that if i didnt go onto vmk for about a month.. they would treat me to a shopping spree where ever i wanted and how ever much i wanted to spend. ;)

So tonight... my real friend calls on a real phone and I tell her I can't talk because I'm helping snarky kill the pirates (insert very long quiet pause here). She has no idea what that means and yet eventually she started to laugh and said "Your pathetic. You have no life" and she hung up.
