tabular_rasaUp at the lake for Memorial Day, so the phone doesn't work. (Grr, cell phone . . . )
This is all quiz fluff. More interesting stuff can be found at my entry about PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END.
1. What is your favorite board game? I don't really actually like board games that much. They involve competition and a clear winner or loser. This makes me sound unbearably fragile, but I find competition too stressful for something that's supposed to be fun. (And always have-- that's why at my 6th birthday party, I demanded we play no organized party games involving a winner or loser!). That said, I prefer games that are more subjective interaction-oriented, like Pictionary, Cranium, Scattergories, or Apples to Apples (which takes on a life of its own when played with Suspicious of Whistlers, lol . . . ).
2. What is your favorite card game? Hmm . . . I like card games even less. I just never learned many of them, and my lack of motivation to learn prevents remedying that. I basically know Blackjack, Gin, BS, and Go Fish. Oh, and War. (Yes, I do not like-- and do not even know-- Poker, Texas Hold 'Em, or Euchre, and, no, I do not want you to teach me, sorry . . . ). Go Fish is a classic. Don't knock it, lol . . .
3. Do you like to play games on the computer or on a gaming system? I do far too much on computers anyway to do much in the way of computer games anymore. I used to be obsessed with The Sims (I refuse to have either Sims or Sims 2 in my possession anymore, because it's that life-consuming-- Lisa saw me over Spring Break, lol), and other Sim games, like SimCity. I also liked American Girl Plays (you made a little play production with American Girl characters) and the Rockett series Adventure Maker (not the actual games, just the creative "maker," lol . . . ). Notice the pattern: You can't WIN any of these games. They just go on forever, and all involve creative skill.
As far as video games go, we never had a gaming system in our house. So I am very behind everyone in terms of skills with my thumbs, so I don't much like classic games on Playstations and X-Boxes and such. I am really a big fan of the Wii, though, as I am on a level playing field with everyone, and some of the games-- like WiiSports and WarioWare-- are creative in their format and good in a group. I also like Guitar Hero and sometimes DDR-- once again, not-so-classic controller, so I feel less incapacitated.
4. If so, what is your favorite game to play? (Just read the rant above, lol . . . )
5. Do you like to play games with people or to play them alone? It depends. I need other people for the board games, obviously, but computer games I prefer to do alone, because, well, you can't do most of them with other people. As for video games, I like other people as long as we are working together, not competing against each other. (Aka: Guitar Hero, I play Cooperative, never Head-to-Head).
I am a sap, sap, sap :-P Good thing I've finally seen that movie, now, lol . . .
18/20, that's pretty darn good; it's an A! (They made us memorize them in 5th grade . . . )
Tomorrow, I will probably put on a swimsuit for the first time this year, and, if I'm awake in time and there's wind/the conditions are right-- and they hold it (they're not stupid, after all; if I can see there's no wind, they can, too, lol), I may very well sail the Memorial Day Regatta.

| Your Love Life is Like Titanic |
 "Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless." You think that you only really have one true love in your life. And that you better to anything and everything to be with that person. You tend to be very nostalgic about past loves that didn't work out. There are many secret feelings that you keep to yourself. Your love style: Deep and emotional Your Hollywood Ending Will Be: Bittersweet |
