a new addiction

i have a new online addiction thanks to patti. it's webkinz.com. this isn't good. basically, the scenario is that you buy these little stuffed animals at the store (i have the hippo). you go online and it becomes a virtual pet that's on your computer. now you have to take care of it, like feed it, clothe it and house it. but in order to do so you must earn money, by playing games, answering trivia, etc. it's really fun and that's the problem. it's too much fun. i have accomplished nothing in the real world, although Petunia, my hippos now has a nice bed, a tv, flowers, hardwood floors and plenty of food. this can't be good...
