    My family is full of board-game and card players. We love playing games with each other not because the game is fun but because we ourselves are so entertaining (no ego in that statement. 😉 )

    Uno, hate Uno. But I love playing Uno with my family. It’s always “Draw Two” “*gasp* You hate me don’t you? What did I do wrong?” We play off each other so well, it gets to be very fun.

    And we change the rules to fit how we want the game to play out. Monopoly (we should never be allowed to play Monopoly xD ) the taxes and fees don’t go to the bank. They go to the middle of the board and free parking gets you all that money.

    We can make payment plans for rent to make the game last longer. We can beat each other up for access to the Boardwalk.

    Games aren’t about the games, they’re about the people you play with and the fun you have dong it. Puzzles are a great way to engage the brain while also having those fun chats about nothing at all.

    Acting like an idiot is, of course, my family’s forte. So “act this out” type games are quite entertaining.

    Sadly we’re also very competitive and childish so the fun will occasionally bleed out into fights and frustration. It’s a side you learn to live with…..unless you’ve married into the family and chances are we’ll annoy the snot out of you. Individually we’re fine, together we’re unbearable. xD

    Do love flying by the seat of my pants. Always identified with that horrible “pantser” term. I really don’t like the term, it makes me sound like a high-school bully secretly enjoying seeing my victim in his underwear.

    The last time I properly planned out a paper, I got a C. Every other paper, most done only hours before they were due, or turned in late, full A grades. I always come back to them and wonder if my teacher was high at the time they graded it but before that I’m a wizard at getting pages of nothing spat out.

    This was a very entertaining post I loved it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful look into your life. 😀 And now I know not to ask you to play a game. xD

      Thank you! It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye, or so the saying goes (although I could probably be convinced by the “right kind” of poker game 😉 )
