Hello, I am a Zynga Games Addict

I can remember where it all started. Many months ago I noticed a friend playing a strange game on her laptop, while she was working I might add, and out of curiosity asked what the game was. She told me that it was Farm Town on Facebook and so I decided that I might give it a try. I ended up forgetting to check it out until a month or two later when I somehow came across Farmville. Certain that this was the game that my friend had told me about I started playing. It was not until the next day that I asked her about it and she told me that I was playing the wrong game. So, of course I started playing both last August and wrote this (what is now an out of date) article on the two games.

At one point I honestly did give up playing Facebook games, but a friend recently sucked me back in. When I say in, I mean dear God where has my life gone the last six weeks. I am currently playing Farmville, Cafe World, Fishville, Roller Coaster Kingdom, Island Paradise, Zoo World, and now Zynga's newest of the new PetVille!Thank God I don't have a job or I would have been fired by now. "Ummm...why were you late for work?" "Oh, well....I had to stay up until 3am to collect my chicken eggs on my island so no one would steal them....Actually, do you mind if I leave early? I almost have a level 3 mastery in green tea. I forgot to harvest this morning because I was two busy reading the feed trying to get those extra servings of mac n cheese..." Yeeeaaaahhhh, no.

I know there is a show on television with Dr. Drew helping sex addicts and I am almost starting to wonder if social gaming will be the next big addiction. It is legal. It is a time waster. For the most part it is free. Most importantly the more you play the more stuff you want to unlock and master. The addition of "ribbons" is enough to keep me going. Just when I only have one or two ribbons left they add more!!

Yes, I think I need help, but let me harvest in Farmville first, I am only 151 points away from level 34!!
