Why has LJ sucked so bad for the last couple of days?
Today I went out to my friend Doug's. We played games, mostly. We played Honor of the Samurai, with his brother and his girlfriend. That was fun. We played Magic: The Gathering. Sometimes fun, but mostly frustrating. We played a little Pente. I liked that. Listened to some music. Talked a little.
I'm not the best person to play games with. I enjoy good battles and close games. Wins are preferred, but not by that much. A long, drawn out loss is the worst. And even when I'm losing for ever and pull it out at the last second, that doesn't make me feel much better. And when I'm winning big, I feel like, what's the point? And I feel kind of bad for it. And then when things aren't going well for me I tend complain about it. Like say, "but I drew no vowels for three turns!" And I'm not in a good mood about it, so things aren't so fun for my opponent, either.
My motto is the only good loss is a quick loss. I tried online Scrabble. It didn't work out for me. It took forever. Cyn and I played for a week, before our game was lost. I spent half the week ahead and nervous, and half the week behind and upset. :-/ That's another thing. With a big game (like a long one, that therefore has a lot at stake) I get nervous when I'm winning. I'm like, can I really pull this off? Some games are more likely to do these things to me than others. Magic is one of the worst. Quick abstract games don't bother me that much.
