Okay, I admit it, I’m kinda addicted to Facebook’s YoVille. YoVille is a virtual world where you can create your identity (physical appearance, clothing, etc.) and live among other virtual YoVillians. You collect a paycheck every 6 hours and can in turn use that money to buy food, furniture for you apartment, etc. It’s fun…well some of it is.
Naturally, I enjoy buying furniture and decorating my apartment. However, trying to interact with other people on YoVille is pretty much useless. I find it amusing that even virtual people can be vapid and materialistic. Perfect example: I checked out the ‘Events’ calendar and went to a virtual party for ’30-Somethings.’ The first thing I see when I go in is some virtual guy whose named himself “rich man,” talking to all these virtual girls about how much he makes ($75,000 a year). Naturally, virtual me couldn’t resist going over and saying “I have $8.” Of course, I’m the only one who finds this amusing. I’m greeted by “that’s sad” from some virtual chick. I’m sure these people are equally as titillating in real life. NOT.
So, if you’re on Facebook, feel free to swing by my place (and if you do come by, rate my room; bottom left-hand corner). The door is usually unlocked. And for those who either aren’t on Facebook and/or have no interest in joining/playing YoVille, here’s a looksee at my pad. (more…)
