At first I just saw other people doing it at parties, then one time "Smoke on the Water" was playing so I thought I'd give it a shot, it was pretty fun. Then it started happening more and more, I'd show up at a party and before saying hi to anyone I would sit down in the familiar circle on the couch waiting in line for my turn. I couldn't wait for the next time, my next time. Then I started going to parties where that's all anyone was doing, we weren't drinking or talking or anything, everyone just sat around the TV, eyes glazed over with a blank look on their face. When you looked around it appeared as if the world was moving away from you, how metaphorical. This Christmas I finally got my own and started having my own parties, but as the days went by it became harder and harder to convince people to come over, till before I knew it I was spending hours standing alone in the dark, if anyone came up I could barely grunt at them let alone have a conversation. When I'm at work it's all I can think about, when I'm home it's all I do, I think I might have a problem.

My name is Kelly, and I'm addicted to Guitar Hero
