I'm sorry I won't do it again...

I have a confession to make. I... I played video games when I was supposed to study for my ninth grade final exam! Ah! I said it, yes, I did not study for the exams. Instead I enjoyed my evening playing Winning Eleven. I knew it wasn't the right thing to do but I had... The joystick was calling my name and I just couldn't ignore it. I should've! I should've ignored it! Dang, this small brain of my could not withstand the power of my hypnotic joystick. The joystick was luring me in. I couldn't help it but to grab my joystick, turn on my ps2 and the T.V, and just start playing. Even though I knew I had to study I couldn't help it. I cannot describe with words my helplessness I experienced. I just did it and it made me feel good and happy. I was stress-free when I was playing. I cannot fully empathize with drug users but I think they would get similar feelings. Happiness, no stress, helplessness against protecting themselves from taking drugs, joy.
