Riddle #7

It’s necessary for sanity, but it takes up too much time,
Stealing away so much of life just ought to be a crime!
We want it when we can’t have it, yet we delay it when we can,
We can rarely find enough, it just won’t fit our plan.

It’s a sanctuary from strife, yet it can create so much more,
In fact every time you enter it, you don’t know what’s in store.
Once it’s taken hold you won’t want it to end,
But obligation, life, and time will not let you extend.

We all need some eventually, you just can't do without;
If you don't get enough you're often prone to pout.
So go get some right now, since you've nothing else to do;
Don't worry, you can go, I'll be waiting here for you.

Well, there you are. Not hard, but none of em are all that difficult so I suppose I should stop saying it every single time(of course, I write em and I know the answers from the beginning!) Anywho, due to circumstances beyond my control (website errors, little computer commandeering sisters, monkeys with knives that feel surprisingly like butter(really really hot, low fat butter)), I was unable to post the riddle yesterday. I'm sure most of you are heartbroken and almost could not go on the next day, but take heart that there are archives and walls you can pound your heads into while you read them.

At any rate, most of you didn't answer last week's riddle, but two of you got it right. The updated scores are: Derek 10, The Sugue 8, Elizabeth G. 6, Caitlin 6, Ellen 6, Elizabeth E. 6, Martha 6, Amy 3, Melissa 3, Rachel 3.

That's about all for now. I've got some clones to initiate and some explosions to clean/cover up. Until next time.

(Well, by my most likely flawed calculations, The Sugue won the posting contest, so he gets to choose the color theme. I count the post counts from sunday-saturday, not the day I post the riddles, just fyi. Since you three people are probably the only ones to read something other than riddles, I give you all salutes. You really keep the posts counts hoppin! Except the Sugue, because no one likes the Grammar Police.)
