Things I learned this weekend

[onefixedstar]

1. I'm a freak because I know the Scrabble rules and actually suggested playing by them.


2. I'm a socialist because I know that Gautama achieved enlightenment under a bo tree. (Sadly, the dictionary insisted on 'bo tree' rather than 'bo' and so I didn't get the points for knowing it. But that's okay, 'cause I won anyway.)


3. MacGuy and I are both weird because we know words like 'din' and 'roan' (neither of which is worth all that many points, by the way--proof that we did not acquire our vocabularies solely for the purpose of winning at Scrabble).


4. A cell phone that moos instead of ringing is surprisingly hilarious. (I wonder if MacGuy has any meetings today; I should call him...)


5. Having acquired the habit of buying books for school, I'm finding it much harder then I used to to restrain myself from buying books for other causes (e.g., interesting titles, good topics, cool covers, etc.). Having two bookstores within five minutes of my apartment does not help me practice restraint.


6. There aren't nearly enough hours in a weekend.

Oh I know the feeling. And *gasp* I'm so wierd for insisting we check the scrabble dictionary and don't divert from it (whether it goes for me or agin me.)

That was exactly their reaction! I'm still trying to figure out how other people play board games--do they just make up rules based on the pieces available and what they've seen on television?
