Today, I decided I need to get a life. I reached this epiphany when I failed to take notice of my friend calling me, until he started calling out my Xbox gamertag. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while pensively thinking up my next awesome Facebook status over dinner, I finally came to the conclusion that I need to get a life. FML
Today, after a 16-hour work day, I came home to my husband. I talked to him for about 10 minutes, then realized that he wasn't answering me but had his headset on and was talking on Xbox live. Not even playing a game, just talking. FML
Today, and for the last few weeks, I'd let the nagging feeling that my boyfriend was up to something go. It's also the day I found his messages to other girls on Xbox Live of all things. On a profile that we both share. FML
Today, I realized that I lie to my friends online and go "offline" for hours at a time so it appears that I have a life outside of the internet. FML
Today, I realized my girlfriend has way more friends than I do. How did I realize this? She called me to tell me she was at the beach with her friends, and how much fun she was having. I was playing WoW in my room, and my friends don't answer my texts. FML
Today, my girlfriend asked me if she looked fat in her new pair of jeans. Knowing I was probably about two seconds away from all hell breaking loose, I instinctively tried to save my game, before remembering I wasn't playing a video game. I really need to get a life. FML
Today, my friends came over to my house to eat my food and make fun of me as they played on my Xbox. FML
Today, I spent an hour deleting 70 of my status posts from the past week so I don't look so addicted to Facebook. Damn, I need a life. FML
Today, I realized that I have been playing a little too much Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I realized this when I was watching a youtube video and there was someone walking in the background who I impulsively tried to gun down and kill by moving my mouse over him and clicking repeatedly. FML
Today, when my boyfriend said it was time to play with his baby, I figured he was talking about me. He meant his Xbox. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Definitely not a good way to show people you have a life.

Maybe you should stop gaming. It's a waste of time, doesn't get anything done, and dumbs you down a bit. Life is so much more fun if you get out and actually do things.

That's actually one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. None of your reasoning holds any water. "waste of time"? No, it's a hobby. It serves a purpose on itself, as in relaxation and taking your mind of other stuff. "doesn't get anything done"? Again, it's a hobby, same as previous argument. "dumbs you down"? Really, what are you basing this on? Gaming is a hobby, just like any other thing can be a hobby. Just because some people have no self-control and don't know when to stop, doesn't make it any less of a hobby. This happens with a lot of other hobbies as well.

Well, you do have a friend who you can actually call "friend", so I guess you are further in this "life" thing than me.

I know Gaming can be addicting but you gotta balance it out with real life too!

I don't think there is much wrong with that. Get off Xbox for a while then return. I mean, I'd consider it an honor. I mean, if you don't like it then change something but if you dot mind it too much then keep doing what you're doing, as long as it keeps you happy. :)

My gamertag has the name Rose and I'm so used to hearing it so that in school whenever the teacher calls on a Rose in my class I almost answer everytime
