Ready... set... rock time!

As some of my recent Times entries may have indicated, I really enjoy the D/D (or minigame, whatever) Shattered Hearts. What these articles may not necessarily indicate is that I have an almost unhealthy obsession with Shattered Hearts.
Since my first statue build the Friday of the week this update was released, I have been looking forward each week to a fresh new collection of rocks to gather. The variety of things to do, the small feeling of achievement associated with each rock, and the bonus experience just keeps me coming back.
Seriously, I think I have a problem.
I got out of bed this morning, and as I was going through my routine, I was distracted by a note: today is Friday! New rocks day!
Sure, the fact that it's a Friday after a work week that could best be described as "horrific" or "soul crushing" is wonderful. Sure, I am really looking forward to babysitting my adorable niece tonight, who just turned two and loves her uncle. The fact that Runescape entered my "awesome reasons to love Friday" list is both a little funny and quite a bit disquieting. Yikes. I think I need nerd rehab.
I don't think I'll step away or try to gain some perspective on the relative importance of the game through distance. I know that in the great big ball of wax that Runescape is merely a little diversion, an enjoyable time waster that gives me some stress relief and some artificial and relatively easy to accomplish goals.
But these rocks! How interesting that Jagex chose "rocks" to be the element to chase after in an update that upgrades my Runescape Addiction from serious to crackhead. Luckily I can't smoke these rocks or we'd have some issues.
Stay Classy, San Diego.
