TvTropes has ruined my life

I don't care what you say, if you've ever been to TvTropes and hung around for a little bit, you'll be drawn in to a never ending vortex of entertainment that will eventually lead to your certain death.

It's kind of like that, only a whole lot worse.

There's just something about it. I dont know what the hell it is, but something about it just pulls you in and keeps you there for insanely long. Whether it be a voodoo curse, a god of the internet, there's something there that makes it so addicting. Almost like the first time I ever played Tetris, I've poured more hours into TvTropes than just about anything else ever. It's like crack, almost, except a hell of a lot better since it has Megas XLR.

Also Gurren Lagann.

Documented here is my first exposition into the abyss. Come with me on a journey through the black hole of the internet. Come with me on a journey to TvTropes.

Hour 1:

I've just arrived honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. Sure, I clicked on a few links to some of the more entertaining things, but I haven't been "sucked in" yet. Honestly, this is just like any other wiki I've ever been on. The only difference is the laid back editing and administration. Hell, at least it's not like that tyrannical WikiPedia.

Hour 2:

Still here, still not immersed. I am somewhat alarmed by the amount of tabs I have opened. FireFox crashed on me a few times and it is putting a drain on my speed. I had to take my laptop into the bathroom with me so I wouldn't loose my place, but still not feeling it.

Hour 3:

Wow. I'm learning things. Coming in, I had no idea who did the voice for Spike Seagal in Cowboy Bebop, but now I know everything he's ever worked on ever. Somethings I couldn't even find on the internet. This site is awesome!

Hour 6:

I didn't write anything for the past 3 hours. Honestly, I don't remember what I did during those hours, but I now have 3 computers around me, all displaying TvTropes. Strange. I don't even have 3 computers in the house. Oh well. It can't hurt to keep going on.

hour 12:

oh god its taking over i dont know how but it is someone help someone help someone help someone help someone help someone help someone help

ohreew 138

i dont know wast comin oer me i cnt stop readinng mi hadns abd ees r movng on thir on somon help pleas

Hour OVER 9000!!!

I don't know what I was so afraid of. I think I might have actually come out as a better person, honestly. All of it is so funny in retrospect. Here I had come, thinking the worst of this place but in actuality I was completely ready to accept it as part of me. My earlier entry was a little premature. I think I was being a little unfair and a tad repetitive. And honestly, I was just saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. I want everyone who reads this to come and join us, for the water is fine.


I'm not sure how I broke the bond, but that hellish chapter of my life is gone. Who knows what might have happened if I had stayed linked in? Perhaps I would become TvTropes....
