Playing a tremendous, obscene amount of World of Warcraft. I justify this lifestyle choice by submitting that I have already paid for an entire month of the game, and by annihilating chunks of my life playing online games I'm saving money by not going out and spending money I don't have on things I don't need. Sometime in the next few months I'll post my "I quit" message and, if I'm not too ashamed, I'll post the "amount of time played, total" that the game will tell you if you ask for it. No one ever asks for it, because of the shame.

Possibly the "Throw Something Living On Criminals' Bare Sensitive Flesh Man" or something similar.
Suffice to say, I will not be fighting crime anytime soon.
