you spin me right round baby right

You Spin Me Right Round Baby, Right Round

I'm tired this morning cause I stayed up til 2am online gaming with

some friends. I convinced a new friend to go buy the game we play and

last night I was showing him the ropes. I love sucking people into my

gaming universe. Mwahahaa. I THINK I've got him hooked already, but

only time will tell. He's already a gamer, so really, it's an easy

sell. Place the crack in front of him and.... heh.

Anyone who says videogames are NOT addicting is crazy. I don't think

of them as a bad thing by any means. It beats shooting up heroin,

right? But these online role playing games are super time suckers.

Anyway - in case you are curious - this is the game we play. World of

Warcraft.

I found out yesterday that another author, Joshilyn Jackson is

addicted to the game as well. Unfortunately she's on a different

server so we can't play together. But I'm still psyched to know there

are more of us author/gamers out there!!

Anyway, enough Geek Talk. And just to prove I really do have a life as

well **GRIN**, tonight a sweet and wonderful friend is throwing me a

garden party to celebrate my book release. (I feel like I'm getting

married with all these parties - I LOVE IT!) THEN later on, some

friends and I are going to a club which plays only 80s new wave

music!!! In other words, the DJ is guarenteed to not only know, but

also PLAY the Smiths. Maybe more than one song!!

This is the first time I've been dancing since RT, so I'm going to

enjoy myself.

Okay so that brings us to the QUESTION OF THE DAY. (And you thought it

was going to end up being about videogames, didn't you!? What a

relief!)

What was the record, cassette tape, cd that as a teen or pre-teen once

you bought did not leave your player for months. The one you could

never get sick of listening to.

Mine would be Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine. Every song

reminded me of some real life teen angst I was going through. All sung

by Trent Reznor's powerful, soul sucking voice. I could listen to that

album forever and never get sick of it.

Then some stupid boy who was a DJ I was dating borrowed it to use

during a school dance. (He had terrible pop stuff so I was trying to

educate him. See - I was criticizing DJs even back then!!) Anyhow,

then we sort of broke up and he never gave it back.
