Ok. Fess up. Some of you folks are on SL QUITE A BIT. What are you neglecting in your real life? I used to make it a point to do a workout every day after work. Gone are those days as I rush to check my SL IMs.

Any comments? (I would love to hear testimonials by neglected husbands or wives :D )

I have a large family in real life that I despise for taking up precious Second Life time. Why they can't be content in front of the TV like normal american kids I don't understand.

Hrm.... lets see...

-Get up for work at 7am local time
-I spend nearly my entire work day in the forums
-I spend 1 hour on the freeway getting home
-The second I get home, I log into SL until I go to bed
-Head to bed around 1am local time

I usually jog 3 or 4 times a week. This week I hevn't gone once because of "the weather". It's been rainy! And too hot and muggy, I swear! It would be dangerous for my health to jog in this heat. :rolleyes:

that will kill the lust of anyone with a foot fetish. *pukes*

I've been neglecting my sleep. I keep going to bed later and later. I used to require 7 to 8 hours of sleep and now I can managed to be functional on 5.

I keep meaning to get around to writing the next Great American Novel, but somehow messing with SL-related stuff seems to get in the way.

Sadly, real life is making me neglect SL.
And that's just not right.

Dishes, actually cooking food, and usually housekeeping, tho I've been on a cleaning jag this week.

SL is integrated pretty harmlessly into my life just now, at about the level the average person watches TV.

I have been neglecting getting wildly intoxicated on various chemicals and running around the city like a stray crazyman, but I'll work on it :D

DeviantArt - don't go there any more.

About the only thing I neglect is a bit of time at work. But I can only visit the forums here. I mostly work on projects that keep me on the internet. And since I am a fast reader, it is easy to stay on the forums most of the day. hehe.. Unless I get super busy.

Otherwise, I don't neglect anything in RL for SL. If I did, I would feel bad and then wouldn't have as much fun when I *am* in world. :)

I'm not actually in SL much anymore, but SL Exchange takes up every last second of my free time. For about the first 6 months (development started about 10 months ago) I spent so much time working on it that my health suffered, where between 2 RL jobs and this I was working 16-18 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thankfully I don't let it eat me up quite as much anymore.

I guess it's because of SL, but not directly.
