If life's a game who do you think is winning?
I never won at that game. Ursula always had more money than me at the end, and usually got there first, because she would always take the shortest routes while I'd take the scenic ones. I mean, it's life, right? I wanted to get the most out of it as I could! But somehow, she always ended up having all the kids (I think she rigged the wheel), and kept ending up with most of my money. And she never let me be the red car, either. Even today, I still really want a red car.
It's too bad life doesn't really work like the game did. Sometimes I think it would be kind of nice to just be driving along (in my RED car) with my husband and kids, and have someone stop me and say "You won the Nobel Prize! Here's $120,000!" or "You had a daughter! Collect presents." That was my favorite part: collecting presents. Because it was the one time Ursula HAD to give me her money.
Though I think having kids while driving would be pretty difficult. And messy.
Talk about a moment in which you wished you had a camera.
I don't really need a camera. I have mental pictures of everything important (or just fun) that's happened in my life, and those are enough for me. Those pictures never fade, or get lost or torn of stolen by bratty sisters. They're always there, right when I need to look at them.
But there was one time where I think it would have been cool to have one. Actually, I wish I'd had a camera phone. And that Joey had one, too. That way, when I was talking to him during Ross's wedding in London, and was listening to him say his vows, when he said Rachel's name instead of Emily's, Joey could have taken a picture of them for me, so I could see everyone's faces. Especially Ross's. Because I know he just had to have had that crazy, panicked look on his face that he gets whenever he says something he knows he shouldn't have. It's kind of like the look Chandler got when he blurted out that Ross was in love with Rachel, only his eyes get a little buggier, and he stutters more.
It would have been cool to be able to see Rachel's face, too. Oh, and Emily's mom! She was kind of a bitch to me on the phone.
