It’s been far too long since I’ve done a meme. I never do the actual Friday Five on the week it comes out it seems, I look through them and pick one that I feel like answering.

In this one, I firmly secure my geek title. You know, in case you all forgot.

1. What is your favorite board game?
For a big group (SEE: drunk people) I like Taboo. It can be really funny what people will blurt out while drunk. TeeHee My family used to play this game a lot (only, not drunk) and we used to laugh so hard I’d be sore the next day.

For the three of us, Monopoly. Although, Cassidy pretty much kicks my ass at every board game we play (excpet Operation :D) so I stopped playing games with her after she completely ANNIALATED me at the Game of Life. Three times.

I’m a sore loser. Especially when it’s to a (then) 7 year old.

2. What is your favorite card game?
Uno. HA! I’m so lame. After that Jin then Poker.

3. Do you like to play games on the computer or on a gaming system?
PC > Console

*ducks*

4. If so, what is your favorite game to play?
I supposed I should say World of Warcraft since I’ve been pretty much filling every second of free time with it for the last two weeks (Cassidy has been out of town, I’m bored!)… BUT! I’m a big Old School FPS geek. I love me some UnrealTouornament, Quake, Splinter Cell, Tribes, etc.

5. Do you like to play games with people or to play them alone?
I like both but I hate having to depend on random people to play. That’s a big problem when trying to play something like Tribes where you HAVE to team up. I don’t so much mind in Counter Strike becuase you usually LAN or end up teaming up with people you know which isn’t so bad. We used to LAN Counter Strike in the same house but teams would be in seperate rooms so you couldn’t hear stratagy talk. God, I was a geek.

In games like WOW, I just wait for Ben to outlevel me by enough that if I need help, he can come in and wipe out all the baddies while I run around and collect money and loot. It MAY seem like I’m using him but this is a guy I used to follow around in City of Heroes JUST to heal. Not many people have their own personal healer. So I think it balances out somehow.

We are alive. More importantly, for the first time in almost four days, Cassidy didn’t spend the entire day laying on the couch coughing. The fever is FINALLY gone. Finally. Yesterday was the first day that it never got over 100. Whew. Today we went and got pedi and manicures. We were both going pretty stir crazy and really needed to just be OUT OF THE HOUSE.

And… Ben bought me WOW. So, I’ve been avoiding this game for like, 10 YEARS. Any internet geek will know why. But after having played City of Heroes and loving it, but never so much that I lost my job, I figured it would probably be safe to try. I really like it. It’s much more compex than COH, and it’s taken a bit to get used to the lingo (Quest, not mission. Priest, not healer.) and the genre change, but it’s fun. I think that I like the futureistic feel to COH more, and TRAVEL POWERS, but in time I think it will all click and feel like home.

Anyway, my main (and only, heh) character is a level 10 Night Elf Priestess on Rexxar named Sylaa. So look me up sometime and say Hi, or let me know where you are and maybe I’ll look YOU up.

And that’s really all I have to say about the last four days. Because that’s all that’s happened. Cassidy and I caught up on ALL the DVR’d TV shows, any soap opera that currently plays on TV, and we’ve eaten FIVE BOXES of Girl Scout cookies. Okay, that’s really it.

So I guess I’m gonna have to track down Erika and shove her hair down her throat now. Ewww. I’m not even sure if I’ll watch the last episode because I really don’t care at this point who wins it. Well, maybe I will. Hopefully they’ll show DR sessions and Boogie referring to Erika as “Scrubbica is HOmance”. HA! Idiots.

Ben is driving his M3. Hallilujah, his toy is running. Two months, lots of hours and two motors later he was able to take it for a drive last Saturday. Now we just need to get him back to the track. BUT! He’s considering a cam kit before then. Which might not be bad because he’ll need to get a different flywheel meaning I’ll get his UUC and if I can stand the chatter, get a short shift kit and a clutch stop I’d be a happy happy camper.. That can shift like lightening and take corners better than YOU! Okay, that sounded kinda selfish. But still!

Cassidy is going to a movie night at Nathan’s school tomorrow to watch Herbie Fully Loaded. At first I was like, NO DATES ARE YOU CRAZY MAN GET OUT OF MY HOUSE but give me my Capri Sun and chips back first!! Then he mentioned that *swoon* Lindsey Lohan was in that and his eyes glassed over and he turned red and he got lost in outter space somewhere for about a minute and I realized that he’d probably totally ignore Cassidy the entire time. Well, that and he will be with his mom and brother and sister and 500 classmates. Har.

My birthday is in three days so you should probably get the presents in the mail now so they get here in time.

Sorry for the randomness. Sinus medicine can do that to somebody who is already somewhat mentally unstable. I like pie.

P.S. - I can’t wait to start fragging boys! *drool*

I made Cassidy play Operation tonight instead of Life which is what she wanted to play. Because I was relatively sure that I could beat her since Operation is 99.8% hand eye coordination.

I won. If you ever need a rubber band stretched from your knee to your ankle, call me. If you want to grow old with over $2,000,000 in your retirement fund, call Cassidy.
