Games. I just love me some card and board games. My speciality is word games, but I am almost always up for some game playing action. The problem is I can rarely find anyone who is willing to play a game or two with me. Years ago I worked at a group home for juvenile sex offenders and one day when I asked a kid to play a board game with me he just looked at me sadly and said "You always want to play games with us. Is it because you didn't have any friends as a child?" Ouch. No, I had a whole gaggle of friends in my formative years, thank you. I do admit to being overly competitive at times, though, which could explain some thin-skinned people's reticence to play with me, but I promise I'll go easy on you the first couple times we play Cranium or Trivial Pursuit. Don't expect me to back down during Scrabble, though. I plan on coming out with my triple word score guns blazing.
