Update: After breaking the disks, I took the next step. The ultimate step. The no going back step. I cancelled Doolies and my account, and then changed our passwords to gibberish. Even if I bought new disks and reactivated our accounts, we would have to start over, a terrible thought.

Doolies logged in before I was able to affect the password change. She now swears that she will never log out again. Of course, that won't happen. The servers will be reset or her account will expire or there'll be a blackout, or, more likely, she'll forget that it's running and reboot her machine, and then it's all over.

We were trying to figure out what we were going to do, now that there would be no more video gaming nights. We're afraid we'll turn into those couples that stare at each other all day. Constant staring. (What happens when we get bored of staring?) I guess we can always wait for the next MMORPG to come out so we can get readdicted.

Rest in peace:

Asmin, the beautifully blue-haired 30th level hunter with her wolf Snowflake

and

Zankor, the angry-looking 30th level human Warlock with his blue demon

We knew you for too brief a time.
