My name is ReRe...and I'm a Wii head

I've never had a gambling problem, or any addiction problem (unless you count my addictions to James), but i think i may be slipping over the edge.

Wii Tennis is my crack. I've been playing Wii Tennis for a few years -- over at Middle Bro's house-- but ever since Santa brought James a Wii this past Christmas, it's ALL i've been doing. It's all i think about. I play before work, i play on my lunch break, I play after work. It's bad. Real bad yall. I've jacked up my shoulder, i've inflamed my carpal tunnel and it's made me develop quite the potty mouth. I've found myself picking fights with animated video characters over their serves.

James is worried about me. Last night he cautiously said: "Baby, maybe you should take a break."
I think my exact words were: "I don't need a break, i started with almost 800 dollars -- i mean skill points -- and now i'm below 700. I gotta build my skill points back up."

He again tried to convince me to take a break, but i channeled my inner pill-popping Jessie Spano and said "I can still play. I'm so excited...I'm so excited... I'm so...SCARED!!!!!!"


I then decided it was time to go to bed -- and get help.

800, i have only had mines for about 2 months and i play now and again and i am over 1500 points. But i find it to be a addicted thing as well. good luck with getting your score up.

lol don't worry a few more weeks and you will be good, its alway better to play with friend and make sure you play with the image you make for yourself all the time as every game you play you either gain or lose score.

I'm over 1700, but then again, I played tennis in high school. I own those Miis. There are some tricks to the game. E-mail me if you want pointers.
