Word Game Fiend

Thing 12

My vice! I have spent hours on Bookworm and TextTwist. And now there's Free Rice! I hit a level 60 once, but was unable to maintain it. I like that it gives you pronunciations as well. Have you noticed that with TexTwist, the smaller words are in reverse order of the spelling of the first 6-letter word? So if you are having trouble getting the 6-letter word, try getting all the 3-letter words, look at the order they are in (bottom to top), and it will help you spell the 6-letter word, which you need to keep going in the game.

Social Networking

Thing 11

While I can understand the attraction of these sites for people, I personally find that life is too busy to invite all this extra connection in. Between emails and feeds and going to school and keeping up with the news - all online - I feel OVER connected, and thus I will never join an online social network. Besides, I like my anonymity. I did peruse MySpace, looking at (and listening to) the website for "Flight of the Conchords," a funny New Zealand music group. I also found pages for family members (mostly set to private). In addition to MySpace, I also regularly check in on two art-making nieces who have pages on deviantART.
