Indulgence


Ask me if I will ever quit MapleStory, I say "maybe". Ask me if I'll quit it now or anytime soon I'll reply with a very definite "No." I can't possibly quit as far as I feel right now (and I've been feeling this way for like the past 3 years). I've spent too much time to quit it. To quit and never to return is like throwing all those hours AND money away. It's to concede to have wasted time and money on it. No, I can't do that. I'm stuck (and have been) in this position since around 5 years ago. If I were to quit, everything will be a waste. If I were to continue, I'll end up putting more at stake of being wasted. It's alot like gambling, except.... well... this makes me happy rather than frustrated, angry, or desperate like gamblers to gain everything back. I'm resigned to lose it all eventually when the game shuts down. But until then, I will not quit. I may take breaks of months at a time, but I'll pop in every now and then with several stacks of stolen chips of hours each, and blow them all over just several days.

Another thing some might have noticed (although not likely many) is that I've caught on to the craze of anime and some other related stuff. It's a little scary when I think about it. It's only around 6 months (if you count Pokemon as an anime) or 5 months if you don't, and I'm already sorta, well ok fine! I'm addicted to it. I've clocked almost 200 hrs watching anime (currently at 197), have a Lucky Star cushion on my bed, books 1-34 (with 20+ of them bought in one receipt) of "Pokemon Adventures" manga, placed an advanced order (5 months wait) of a limited edition Snow Miku nendoroid from Japan through a proxy dealer, printed and laminated anime posters (using office resources without getting caught, yet), changed my com wallpaper (both at work and at home) to an anime related one, attended an anime festival, plan on attending a cosplay event (not participating yet though), collected several Hatsune Miku albums (non-official ones), started learning the Japanese language, filled my stepmania song collection with all anime related songs, and although I originally wanted to go to Hokkaido, Japan, just to experience more snow, I've now included Tokyo, and specifically, Akihabara, into my itinerary. I now watch an episode or two at home everyday, watch a few episodes while commuting from work to home, and while I'm bored outfield. A little much for just half a year of jumping into it? I dunno... I'm just sinking into it as fast and as deep as I feel I'd like to...
