Ha! This scheme worked out, but for only about a week. I realized 1:2 was too much of a reward. But now I try to find other means to be productive.
One does not simply ...become productive through self-motivation
I talked to some friends (which is sometimes what we all ever really needed) to try to get *le support group*. (I know, this all seems to be a bit too personal. My aim is to present a glimpse of the grown-up world to young readers, and how older folks solve their own problems irl).
I went to the bowling alley/arcade last night with some friends. Went and played some Time Crisis 4, then I realized something. I'd pay around $5 for a game that wouldn't even last 10 minutes, but I've spent hours on Noobstown! Didn't add up, so I went ahead and bought points here. Besides, I already had over 1000 from Noobween
. I now have enough for [VIP], but I am not going to buy just yet. I'll wait for a period when I'll have tons of free time. Which probably won't be until December.
I recently went through the topics under the "Other" forum category, and realized that several Noobstowners have declared that they'll take a break. Be gone for a week, or a month, due to work/vacation/camp. So I guess it's not uncommon to do just that, if I feel like I need to.
*le sigh* Ohh, adult life. Quarter-life-crisis. Meh. Gotta press forward.
Ohh!
Man I love that signature! Read the signs! With his face, lol!
And about the siggy; it's hyperlinked to the Memebase topic, which is being updated occasionally
