Board Games

So, I played a board game today called Axis and Allies. It had a 40 page instuctional booklet. I think that's all I need to say. I have to be honest, I've never been a fan of board games. Even as a kid, I only owned Connect Four. I mean, I enjoy Risk every now and then, but it's not like I get up everyday and am like, "Man, I want to play Risk." But my friend bought Axis and Allies, so I said I would try it out with him. Well anyways, I found it so boring, and so drawn out, and just so irritatingly complicated, I left. And I felt bad about it, because I think I gave the impression to my friends that I didn't enjoy their presence. I do. I just don't like Axis and Allies. Partially, I think, it's because I was doing so poorly. But still, I don't know if I would have liked it if I was a good player. I don't know, I wouldn't recommend it. That took up a good part of my day. Once again, I did not do much tonight. I hung around at church, talked to Corey for a bit. Debated calling the swing girl again. And once again, didn't. I did get some good advice though, from the good people at Nike. Just do it. This is getting way too dramatic. Just call the freaking girl. I bought a book tonight entitled "The Gentleman's Guide to Style and Grooming." It's all about dressing like an old fashioned English gentleman, and being chivalric. Sort of. It has all these sections about suits, ties, hats, accessories, shoes, cigars, etc, etc, etc. It's interesting, but it irritates me how it has such a singular approach to fashion. Well, I suppose it is the "gentleman's" guide, not the "modern" guide. I enjoy it though. As I've said before, I do have a thing for fashion. Anyways, my mom is getting all angry at me because I said I might buy this Master Replicas lightsaber. I wish I could just be treated as an adult, and be allowed to make my own choices, and live with the consequences. I don't know, when I have kids, and they're in college, I hope I can let thim be a little more independent. If they want to spend however much on something, it's not my problem. And if they go broke doing it, it's not my problem either. So, there. I hope I can find stuff to do this week, I am really sick of just sitting at home. It will be worse now with my mother nagging at me. That is the part of summer I want to escape the most. I'm sick of always being nagged, be it to practice, or to not spend money, or to call my teacher, or whatever. I guess it goes with the territory. I hope college goes better this year, socially at least. You know another thing I'm sick of? People who brag to me because they have girlfriends. I really find this confusing, as I don't think the lack or having of a girlfriend is much of an indication of a person's worth. A lot of the people I admire the most, the most upright people I know do not have a significant other. It's just really stupid. So, I'm going to a wedding Friday. I really hope they play some swing at the reception.
