I've gotten into board games instead.

Dec 21, 2008 04:31

i've had this subconscious thing going on to limit my being extrovert online. i post less, i comment less, i suspended all activity on Skyscraper City and Forum Rozwoju Warszawy. if i can get by without resorting to articulation, i will.

i bought us a card game, soon now we shall playyyyyyyy!

now that's fantastic! can we play that game on the train? i love doing things on trains. i still have that plan to venture out to one of the stores that specialize in games and buy¡, buy¡, buy!

well, it's 3-10 players, so the three of us could play it. IF we had a table. cause it requires some space.

and i bought it in a shop that specialises in games, AND i have a huge crush on the shop, on a guy selling stuff there AND my wallet is weeping at the very thought. i'm SO taking you there.

i guess if we put computers in our laps, they could serve as card space. probably. i'm so going to that store with you and spending ridiculous money on games! i want!
(and then i'm taking you to a flag store where a clerk works i swoon over.)

in my case, it's just that i feel i have nothing insightful to say. i don't think it has to do with personal limits or some sort of balance, it's more or less that i feel i don't have valuable input to offer. a matter of exhaustion, i guess, or of a decrease in self-esteem. it wasn't my decision, my mindset just wandered that way and here we go. it will pass soon, as always.

but why are you weighing a cut in contact?

ah, i get it, the classic real·life-to-online disparity. i guess most people would find being defriended online offensive on the so-called·real·life plane as well, so the situation is much awkward indeed. i find it that a gradual decrease in the attention you're paying to the online part of the relationship makes it easier for the other person to loosen it and interact with you more in person. this of course implies your feeling shit about yourself even more, because that's a premeditated manipulation.

and thanks for the words of appreciation. i'll be there if i have something of value to say. i'm trying to cut down the yada-yada though. let's focus on the real thing!

board games. dude. that's an extremaly dangerous hobby. trust me, I know. and card games. these are able to murder _every_ budget.

and limit your already limited shelf-space :P

oh yeah. i'm beginning to realize. just today a copy'f A Game of Thrones popped up in my possession.

Game of Thrones is probably the best board game ever. It requires a lot of time and at least 4 people to make a game really interesting, but it's totally worth it. We're playing in it as often as we have at least three hours to spare and we never got bored. Quite opposite - the game is getting better and better every time, as we come up with new solutions and strategies...
As for a place to buy games, I strongly recommend rebel.pl. They simply rock :)
