Your World of Warcraft is Also Your World Without Women

By: B_____ Y______

I'm sure by now most of the residents in Nash Hall have experienced

the cult following that is World of Warcraft. I'm also sure that the

majority of men in the building either has given into this phenomenon

individually, or has a roommate, friend, or RA that's fallen. Being

one of the many women in Nash Hall (our dorm) involved in a

relationship with a man whose life is no longer is own, I have a few

things to say.

1. Realistically, most girls despise World of Warcraft. With the

exception of Sara Taylor (girlfriend of Brett Williams and fellow

wow-er, lucky dog) and very few others, girls just have no interest in

it whatsoever. We do not care what level you just hit, we do not care

what boss you're about to kill, we do not care how many days you've

spent wasting your life away, and we absolutely DO NOT care how

"f-ing" hot your character is (her boyfriend has a female night elf.)

So stop telling us or you'll be single very, very soon. No one wants

to date a junkie.

2. Don't you have class or something? It seems to me that we live in a

government sponsored insitution, NOT in your mom's basement. I don't

think President Bush would be very happy to hear that his funding is

going toward a Univeristy full of ridiculous boys who are wasting the

public's hard earned tax dollars (would he really care?) How much does

it cost to attend Western? (about 3 grand a quarter, or 9k a year) And

how much does your account cost a month? (15 dollars even) I won't

even bring up the point that you are here to study and gain ACTUAL,

not computer animated, knowledge, and that you could be saving mucho

dinero staying in your own house and letting someone live in Nash who

actually deserves to be here. Anyone ever heard that song by Ben Folds

Five, "Song for the Dumped?" Yeah. That's what I thought.

3. Hey, have you ever heard the words "Personal Hygiene?" I think not.

Judging by the smell wafting down from the 3rd, 5th, and 6th

floors,(the guy floors in the building) us ladies of floor 1 have had

to invest in a serious supply of air fresheners. When was the last

time you actually took a shower? I know for a fact that several

residents on the 5th and 6th floors have gone about 3 days without

showering, and usually wear the same shirts and pair of underwear for

days on end. No wonder everyone's door is always locked. They are

trying to keep the smell stifled inside their room, which is

disgusting. TLC had it right when they didn't want No Scrubs. You

scrubby boys had better knock if off.

4. What the hell are those stupid headsets? Do you work in the Taco

Bell drive-thru? It sure smells like it on your floor. If so, I'd

better be getting a discount. What, do you need reassurance that you

actually do have friends who understand your addiction? You wonder why

girls go to the bathroom in pairs, or why they get pissed when you

can't tell what they are thinking. This is the same thing, and just as

mind-boggling. Why do you need to talk to other computer nerds while

playing the game? Does your score improve with the number of friends

you have online? Or maybe you met your other girlfriend who is 36,

divorced, and lives in Kentucky with her 15 cats. Sure sounds like a

winner to me.

5. What is your age again? Last time I checked, Western Washington

University did not admit 12 year old boys into its academic program. I

don't think the admissions office would be too pleased to hear about

the progress of its North Campus (location of our dorm on campus)

students. It's nice that you college men have found a piece of common

ground, but honestly this is ridiculous. If you have your RA, your

roommate, your friends across the hall, your girlfriend's ex

boyfriend, and the guy who beat you last week in poker all on the same

server going on a quest, you know you've hit rock bottom. I wouldn't

be surprised if the next thing I see is someone running down the hall

with a pillowcase cape tied around their neck, scantily clad in Power

Rangers underwear, crying because so-and-so just stole their star wars

action figure or holographic Pokemon card. Honestly, that's just not

okay.

Be happy that I chose to keep the concerns to only 5. I know these

perfectly valid points may be hard for some of you to hear. But

realistically, it's the truth. The moral of the story is; boys, don't

ignore girls of any status, girlfriend or not girlfriend, just to sit

around all night in your boxers with chip crumbs on your belly,

playing this infernal game. Keep it up, and the words "we need to

talk" or "this just isn't working out" or even the dreaded "I met

someone else" will arise in the not so distant future. And I can just

see each and every one of you, sitting there dumbfounded as to what
