Moving

Well, I feel I’ve outgrown this blog, so I’ve decided to move. Namely to This Place. All of the content on this blog is already on the new one, including posts, comments, pages, everything. Also, you feed-readers will have to change your rss feeds to point to
http://zibland.com/blog/?feed=rss2

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I really feel like I need a non-hosted blog. Way more control, and all that good stuff.

If you are still visiting this blog/wondering why it doesn’t update anymore, please read the above post! I’m still registering between 10-40 people visiting this site every day…Please update your links to http://www.zibland.com/blog! Thanks!

My blog as it exists here has (as of just a moment ago) gotten a total of 6,666 unique views. How awesome!

How True

I came across this quote on Uru Obsession, and the original poster found it on eBay, I think. The first few lines are so true:

I used to think of myself as immune to addiction. I’ve never been ensnared by alcohol or drugs, never run up huge credit-card balances with compulsive shopping, never smoked — I don’t even gamble. Watching various friends battle their own habits, I’ve occasionally envied them the drama of it all, but mostly I’ve felt a little (well, maybe more than a little) superior.

That was before I found Myst…

I’ve recently realized just how obsessed I am with the Myst series. I really am obsessed. I spend most of my free time on Uru Obsession, I have a massive collection of Myst games and collectible items, I even have two original concept sketches from Myst.

In a discussion I was having with a friend of mine two days ago, I mentioned how much more obsessed with the series I was than him (however, we met on UO, so we both must be pretty obsessed) and he said “yeah, I’m not as obsessed as you are. I get bored the third time through the games”. This made me stop and realize the extent of my obsession.

Am I sorry? Do I wish I wasn’t obsessed/addicted?

Hell no.
