Secrets have a way of leaking out and embarrassing us, so it’s better that we share whatever it is ourselves (like Victoria’s Secret—that she’s a dude, but who cares? It doesn't matter.) My secret revolves around the e-mail account I use for blogging. It’s actually my junk mail account…the one I use to order things on-line.
But that’s not the secret, I’m sort of working my way up to that. You see, my wife is a… well, she was a… she was a Farmville addict. Wow, it feels good to finally admit that! Yes, she was & I enabled her, as you will see.
While she’s better now, I’m still living with the shameful aftermath. The big thing, involving my e-mail address, is that it links to a fake Facebook page. My wife needed a new neighbor to be able to expand her farm, but couldn’t find one. I set up a page for a Mr. Wilson (I rooted for Mr. Wilson against Dennis the Menace) just so I could give her that extra neighbor. While I did admire Mr. Wilson in my youth (and more than once said the words “rotten kids” while I was still one myself—a kid, not rotten), I am not Mr. Wilson. Besides, I really like kids (except the rotten ones). ;P
I never intended to mislead anyone. I only did it to support my wife--she appreciated it! It never occurred to me anyone would even see that FB page until Mr. Wilson received his first FB friend request. It was from a blogger—others followed. I’ve learned my lesson, I won’t do that again.
I’ll do other, new, stupid things, but not that.
Hi Rick, just came back here in blogsphere:) I really miss it but I don't know what happen why... hehe
ReplyDeleteHope be back for good:) See yah around!
Farmville was definitely my addiction before, but I got tired of it because the crops took forever to grow!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to spill out secrets. Getting things off your chest is always a relief.

Hahahaahhaa. Hello Mr. Wilson. You are such a sweetheart, what a supportive hubby! =)
ReplyDeletemauahhahaha Mr. Wilson! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that after getting unnecessary drama on FB I've inactivated my account...but play Family Feud on my husband's account...LOL
<33 Rena
Farmville is awful. I don't understand how people can actually be addicted to that.
ReplyDeleteOops. Wait. That's my secret.
Hey Mr. Wilson, haha, you're such a sweet hubby.. Your wife is one lucky lady, not only the Farmville thing, but everything :)
ReplyDeleteI know some of my friends who are Framville addict too. I never dare to try it out though, I know that I might be another addict..
Btw, thanks for the compliment on the profile pic, hehe :)
a happy bride-to-be
i think its so sweet and nice of you to go the extra mile, creating an account specifically for that purpose. your lovely wife must have been in a cheery mood for getting what she needed at the time! awww... :)
ReplyDeletewhoa...that's a serious farmville addiction if she was able to convince you to lie. hahaha!!! i'm just glad she's off the wagon and has her sanity back.
ReplyDeletebut this does say one thing...mr. wilson is a nice guy ;)
haha.
ReplyDeletethat is the sweetest.
i was a farmville addict too,
good thing i stopped:)
Haha! That is funny! Your wife is lucky to have you, you are so sweet for even doing that for her. =)
ReplyDeleteI've never played Farmville but my friends were addicted to the game! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I know a couple more people who set up fake accounts to get more neighbours! Tell your wife to harvest my crops, k? xD
ReplyDeleteTeehee you are too cute, really! At first I wondered what it is you're too embarrassed to admit, and then when I read it I was like, hey, that's not too bad! :D
ReplyDeleteI myself am addicted to Facebook games. Gosh I have to check my Pet Society, Restaurant City, Cafe Life, Baking Life, Market Street and Frontierville every single day! It's getting annoying really, but I can't do anything about it =/
Hahahahaha, I had to laugh when I read your post at the end :-) Could it be that Mr Wilson received that friend request from actually ME?? Or at least I was one of those who sent a friend request. I imported all of my email contacts to my facebook account and added everyone who was on that list, lol. I didn't even pay attention to a Mr. Wilson. So that was really you?? XD
ReplyDeleteGood that I never started playing those fb games, I don't have so much time to waste on the Net other than blogging and emailing :-) I also know a lot of people who are really addicts to fb games and check it in every free minute of their time.
Btw, thanks for sending me a mail with the PS story to your last post! You were such aan adorable little brother to your sisters :-) I've always wanted to have a little brother myself :-)
OMG! Your wife is so funny! And you are so sweet for supporting her. At least it's not a crack cocain addiction. Then that would be bad to support her.
ReplyDeletenice post.
ReplyDeletevisit my blog and let me know what you think, follow if you like :)
Farmville is foreign to me but it sounds like you did this with the best intentions. :)
ReplyDeletei can't believe you would trick and mislead us like that. deleting you off my friends list.
ReplyDeletehahaha! just kidding! ;D but that's love right there.. creating a fake fb account so your wife can "move up" on farmville ;P
Rick, I had to google this Farmville thing up! I was very boggled when I read your entry, but after wiki-ing (aka googling) everything became much clearer.
ReplyDeleteIf it isn't obvious, I don't even have a FB account >_> Outdated much? hahaha xD Mr Wilson needs to be my Farmville neighbour if I ever do join FB!!! ;D
I've never played farmville, I heard it's suprt addictive. yeah I heard victoria's secret is a hairy dude that sits infront of the computer all day as well. ha!
ReplyDeleteSee, it really doesn't take a lot to please women. A fake email and an extra neighbor at the farm is all it took to make the wifey happy. :)
ReplyDeletethere's nothing to be ashamed of your secret! you only did it to help your wife...but then talk about being passionate with Farmville huh? LOL :)
ReplyDeleteahahaha how did bloggers know about mr wilson, hm?
