The whims of the weather god, they want to keep the sun for themselves. They say, we humans are too inferior to be protected by the radiant sun. So, instead we get the gloomy cloud and the depressing rain. Wait, who said rain was depressing? It might be the most amazing thing ever…. when you’re inside the house!

Sayuka and G. came by today, after such a long time. True enough, I met them a week ago for my birthday, but having them at home is really different from meeting in a public place for lunch or something. It was like, we were all alone (excluding the times my mom came to bring us food), without any worries or hassles, just us having a bit of fun… and fun we had!

With me and my collection of games (can still hear the girls saying “Wow”), I already knew we were going to have a great time… I am a game addict, just like my father, which is why we end up buying like every single game we see. And as every collector, card games are a must… Actually, we girls started out with Monopoly, until G. took out the board and saw that there was nothing else in the box. All the cards, dice, houses were in a bag, along with the ping pong balls (which I was crazy about today), which made us not want to take everything out… or was it that the girls not wanting to have a cheating me on their hands? I wonder…

So, in the end, we started out with the Top 5 card game, which is supposed to be a “talking” game… Was the only one I didn’t want to play, and I think we’d have missed a lot if we hadn’t chosen it. It started with naming only the top 5 as the cards indicated, to slowly be followed by our craziness like…

“Name the top 5 memorable tv advertisements”

Sayuka: ” One, I don’t watch TV, Two, I don’t have a TV, Three, the TV is not mine…”

I’m not sure you want to know the 5 top tunes I’d like to dance to…. They are so… I’m not telling… Speaking of songs, I forgot to add we were accompanied by my not so innocent playlist as background music, along with the occasional depressing songs or my favourite ballads hated by everyone. I can’t help it if I have such complex taste in music. *grin*

As the card games craze continued, we went towards “Old Maid” which is where my poker face should have come in handy and it didn’t… It was so easy to read G.’s face that Sayuka knew already who had the Queen of Spade. Me. I did manage to pass her the card, which she gave to G. afterwards, who ended up being the old maid. I wanted so much to have a game of Bullshit (should I censor this word?) but the girls totally refused. It seems, I resort to mean tricks when I play that. No, I don’t, I promise. *suddenly think of the famous Bullshit game two years ago* Okay, maybe I’m a bit mean. I just like to see my opponents in trouble, rather than winning myself.

Which is why, I kept the Draw Four card in UNO, when I could have used it to win first. Instead I gave it to Sayuka just after she said Uno…

Disclaimer: Anything I do during games does not reflect my true character. Or maybe it does.

Finally, came the ultimate Turn the … Umbrella game. We had a bottle, but it was half full, which is why we ended up with the umbrella. Sayuka’s pink umbrella. At first, we started with alternate “truths” “dares”, to afterwards, exile the “dare” part. Not that we didn’t dare. We just were lazy to move around. Sayuka did say something funny though.

I quote: “Well, truth or dare, it doesn’t matter. It seems she’d do every disguting thing we’d ask her to do.” End of quote.

No, I wouldn’t. I did say to keep disgusting things at arm’s length. On the other hand, the “Truth” part turned out to be an excuse to have a real serious talk between us girls, not that I’d divulge our secrets out here.

All I can say… can’t wait to have another one.

P.S. Sayuka has been posting her literary works online for some time now. You can check them out at http://sayuka.wordpress.com/
