Okay - I've lost it and I'll be the first to admit it. Ever since I joined Facebook (almost a year ago now) I successfully ignored those little "gifts" and other attempts to pull you in to the myriad games offered through the site. Then one day I wandered innocently into YoVille. I looked around as the hypnotic little tune played on and on. It was cute - I was foolishly intrigued. This appears to be something like an electronic version of Colorforms I mused. Thinking of that favorite childhood game must have triggered something in the deep recesses of my mind. I kept looking. The next thing I knew I had an apartment and a job in the Sweets factory. The apartment was decent but that god-awful furniture had to go. I bought a new couch, some chairs, a fireplace and a canopy bed. It was starting to shape up but I needed more, MORE I tell you! About this time I noticed that my little avatar was looking pretty blah so we popped into the clothing store and spruced up her wardrobe. Then we headed around the corner for a new hairstyle and some spa time. After that, just for grins she decided to try competing in a motorcycle race or two at the Speedway. She soon found out that she pretty much sucked at that so she set out for the docks to relax with a little fishing. Then it was back to the factory to check on the cookies, more shopping, a stop at the Dinner to fuel up, a look at the pets at the local animal shelter, shop, eat, work, ....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Two hours latter I'm trying to figure out what in the world had possessed me. So, I decide to get a grip and force myself to leave YoVille. Just as I'm about to click off I'm distracted by another gift sent by a well meaning friend...what's this Farm Town thing anyway...
