Does anyone else besides me spend hours playing games on facebook?

I spent several hours today playing games on facebook, and I feel guilty for wasting all that time!

You know, I have something important that I REALLY have to do. But I didn't really get much done, because I chose to spend hours of my day playing games like Candy Crush, Monster Busters, Farm Heroes Saga, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Bubble Witch 2, and Papa Pear Saga.

I really actually had a goal I was supposed to tackle on my day off, and now I'm disappointed in myself for not getting it done.

It's 11 pm for me, and the day is shot. A day lost to games on facebook.

As if I didn't have enough facebook games already.
I guess that means I'll try Words With Friends next time all my lives are used up in one of the other games.

That level is nearly impossible, and I practically gave up trying months ago. But I kept at it, and I made it through!

So then I said to myself well that was an achievement. So that was my big achievement of the day. Meanwhile I put off my real goal of actually working on the thing I wanted to get done!

I ain't bragging.

But candy crush (and now candy crush soda saga) are just filler for downtime in my real addiction: Clash of Clans. 5 days away from level 3 dragons! w00t!

still, not bragging. But I got my boss addicted so I get some slack for checking my resource collectors at work.

and I concur

Also, Video Poker, Spite and Malice, Bubbles IQ

I have to step away from the keyboard, now


Don't feel guilty, though - guilt is a complete waste of time.

If you want to play these games, try typing one of the aforementioned games into the search box, and you should find them...

finishing up our taxes, I think it would have been more fun to be
playing games on fb.

Sometimes, you just need a break.

I am on game level 627 and my King level is at 109 ... I think this makes me some kind of Nerdy Loser in Real life but, I don't care.

Those pets can't save themselves
