farmville

so many people i know are addicted to farmville.  last friday, a manager from another office was discussing something with my officemate.  suddenly he approached me.  i thought he was going to bring up official business.  guess what, he was reminding me to accept his farmville neighbor request.  hahaha.  this is a guy we're talking about.  he says he has set up wireless in his house and as soon as they arrive home, he and his children are all hunched in their respective computers all doing the same thing  ->  farmville.

my friends have been egging me to take up the game.  i'm not interested.  i have more than enough deadlines in the real world, i don't want to add virtual ones where i have to harvest at a certain time otherwise my plants will die  : }

last week my officemate showed me my farm.  yikes, so pathetic:  six tiny squares, one part planted with strawberry, another with eggplant.  i'm at level 1. (my best friend is at level 34.)  i've been receiving gifts and i just accept so i have an account but i don't really play.  my officemate was pointing out the sorry state of my farm and i told her at least i'm cute.  i was referring to the avatar onscreen standing on my plot.

she told me, 'that's not you, that's me.  you're a guy.'

'huh?!  why am i a guy?'

'the default avatar's a guy.'

eh?!  i have to log in to change.  never mind...
