Remember it is just a game
When eating, take break from the computer - it'll still be there when you come back

not all no lifers are famous in games lol...in fact most no lifers have no life cuz if they were famous, then they would have a life by being called a no lifer.

EEK! Somebody stop meh! :wink:

Back to the point, i think i need to realize that computer shouldnt be used as a stall tool, as the more u see of it in a day, the more ur parents dont let u see it in a day...u need to find the balance between rs and keepin ur parents happy, and urself happy.
