Okay here's the scenario:

During last holiday season, I wanted two games for christmas: Animal Crossing City Folk, and Wii Music. When I got Animal Crossing, I couldn't stand it. It was dull, repetitive, and just boring. At least Wii Music held my interest for a couple months, Animal Crossing went back in the closet after 3 days. Now, summer has started, and I decided to give it another get-go. Once I demolished my old town and started anew, the charm suddenly hit. I started liking it a tad, and the more I played, the more I discovered, and the more I enjoyed the game. What made me suddenly prone to the charm of the odd animals in the town? Anyone have a theory?

BTW: This is my first Animal Crossing

WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

Because you're a lady? Because you enjoy double crossing animals? Because you enjoy teaching animals the cross (boxing punch)? (only jokes..no offense)

Not really.

I like Animal Crossing. The only problem I had was that I improved my house one level, and got it looking just how I liked, and for a few weaks found no improvements to it or myself...

Really I was just content with my house how it was. My girlfirends bigger house just seemed too big for one person and stuff you can get.

Funny stuff really.

It's a game about nothing, there's really no goal in the game. Just do whatever you want. Maybe that's the appeal.

I too kind of disappeared from my animal crossing world though....I still don't have time to play it. :(

You besta back up off my bitch! Mitzy is mine! I'm still pissed at my friend who went into my town and wrote Mitzy a letter saying I have AIDS! Everyone want's a peice of Mitzy's sweetness.

because animal crossing grabs you and sucks you in when you least expect it
