Wii-shing and hoping

I want a Wii, but I'm scared of it too. Too much fun can be a dangerous thing. People who have been gaming at home for years are reporting damaged furniture, personal injury and in most cases physical exertion and muscle soreness. I feel like it's high school all over again with everyone having sex while I'm waiting on the sidelines. I want it, but much like deciding to not to act like the other girls and be more normal and get my hair done more often I know I don't to get up at 4 in the morning to line up for my Wii.
So I wait, and like in high school the stories of disaster of those who go before me will help me take precautions when it is my turn at bat. We won't have our Wii in the room with the good tv unless we erect some sort of plexi-protective layer in front of it. We will use our Wii in a room with a high ceiling without any overhead lighting. We will wear our protective strap every time, not just in the beginning. We will keep all breakables out of swinging distance. We will be ready. We will be prepared. We will Wii-proof before we party.
