...I just spent 6 hours straight on tvtropes, and I'm wondering why I'm so hungry.

Here we go again!
I have my navi set up to not let me access tvtropes... Too many brave hours have already been lost in the battle.

I honestly never saw the appeal of tvtropes.. I mean its just a really comprehensive database of genres, archetype labeling and plot outlinning. Basically a more in depth wikipedia. Not that's a bad thing, it's a cool site I just don't see how people get sucked into reading it for hours and hours..
That is exactly what leapt to mind when I read this thread title. Then I put it on.
Not to derail further, but I love this mashup: http://www.partyben.com/PartyBen-Rehab(Can'tHelpMyself).mp3

I got through so many boring classes reading TVTropes... I also lost so many free hours I could have been doing something productive during, but that's okay too. As a writer, it's been a big help in learning what plot points/character types are overdone.

i spent about ten minutes on Tvtropes. I've also never really heard of Amy Winehouse.
I guess I can see the potential for addictive clicking, but I always get enough after a few pages.

Yeah, usually someone links into a specific article based on the topic at hand, and maybe I read it, and then maybe a couple related articles, then I'm out. Ten or twenty minutes, tops.
Exactly. There will be those 10 or 20 minutes each time, but I could never spend hours on the site.

The place is the biggest timesink I have access to. I'd agree its groovy from a writing point of view but I tend to get very little writing done whenever the tropes rears its head 
Speaking of rehab, any good ways to get me out of WoW, I just started again and I've a bad feeling about it this time.

Stop buying additional months of playtime after your subscription runs out. Alternatively, let someone other than you who can keep a secret change your password.The place is the biggest timesink I have access to.
