Facebook Applications and why they are EVIL!

I thought I had gotten over my addiction.

I had finally stopped spending countless hours perusing Pieces of Flair. Sure, I still have the occasionally glance when someone has sent one my way, but that's just being nice. I don't like to ignore my friends.

I no longer fill out meaningless surveys and insurance quotes just to earn money for more Pull Tabs and Scratch and Win tickets. Somehow their virtual prizes and increasing levels kept me coming back for more for quite sometime, but I thwarted their temptations and sent the applications packing.

It's been AGES since I've visited my (fluff)Friend Shagun Dragon. Actually, after a small bout of research, I realized I no longer own him. The (fluff)Races were exciting and dressing him was fun, but somewhere along the lines I set aside my pride and removed yet another exciting application.

No need to fear friends! I still am an occasional user of someecards and I can't deny my love for NetworkedBlogs, but I mostly try to stay clear of the evil time consuming Facebook Application world. Then on Friday night it happened. I got bored...no one was on Facebook, no friends were tweeting, I'd read every blog...twice... and I was left with nothing to do as my husband played video games. (Granted both of us removing ourselves from behind glowing screens COULD have helped this problem....but....) It showed up on the side as an add. It looked intriguing. I clicked. I built. I served. I became addicted.

And now I am an avid fan of Restaurant City! If I'm not on Facebook, the application is sitting open so I can earn more money to level up. Again am I back to filling out pointless surveys and filling out illegitimate quotes for insurance to add money to my remodeling budget. As if I needed another reason to be on the Internet!

This friends....this is why Facebook Applications are EVIL! Stay away from them. Ignore any suggestions or invitations (most likely from me) to join these silly games! (unless they are from me in which case I REALLY need some new ingredients for my menu so please join!) They are EVIL I tell you! EVIL!!!! But isn't my restaurant pretty!!!!
