Day 37

As girls, we have spent most of our lives complaining about how dumb and oblivious boys are. It's basically all there is for girls to talk about in high school. However, today Erin got to see what it's like to deal with girls from the guy's point of view. See, Erin is currently on her third playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins, this time playing as a dashing young man called James. James is deeply in love with Morrigan.
 ...even though she is mean and gets angry at him whenever he mentions love... He is very devoted to her, and would do just about anything for her. Then, of course, there is Leliana.
James looks after her, and loves her like a sister. He often brings back little trinkets from his travels for her, and checks up on her to make sure she's doing alright.
Today Morrigan approached James to tell him that she was not okay with him dating Leliana behind her back. James was very confused, and told her that he was NOT dating Leliana, but that he'd "break it off" with her anyway if it would make Morrigan feel better. When he spoke to Leliana, she seemed under the impression that they had been in some sort of romantic relationship, and seemed very upset that he was "breaking up" with her. Bewildered, James tried to respond in a way that would not upset her more. He just nodded and confirmed her inquiries that Morrigan was his one and only. She seemed understanding enough...

"WHAT?! FIFTEEN?! Gaw! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to lead you on, I was only trying to be nice! Why are women so confusing?!" Erin cried out in frustration. Gros gave her an odd look from the other couch. Erin looked back at her. "I think I kinda understand men now... We should probably go apologize to them for calling them oblivious morons all those times..."

Aaaaaand that's what Erin did today. She's a depressing nerd, so we're going to move past her now.

This evening we went to meet up with some friends from high school who had organized a game of Ultimate Frisbee. Grosland was the only one who played. Erin and Beth sat off to the side like losers, then went to go explore the forest for a bit, then came back and sat off to the side like losers some more. Grosland, however, owned the game and everyone playing it with her impressive and violent skills. She won the attention of the many fine young men there with her frisbee finesse, and scored many a point for her team. The best part was the spectacular dive Gros performed as she leapt for the frisbee. She landed full on her stomach and skidded, then leapt right back up and kept running. Even though she didn't catch the frisbee, her display was truly worthy of applause. At least Erin and Beth thought so, as they watched from their grassy patch of lame. Grosland's team won, of course.

And then they came home. And Erin passed out on the couch in the middle of writing this post and is only now dragging her carcass to bed... Good NIGHT

I can actually picture that frisbee match in my head. I've seen that dive.

And I just discovered what Dragon Age is. It's a modern day soap opera. If you find yourself late at night praying for the characters while half asleep, it's time to do something else. Put the controls down a walk away.

No, I'm not saying I've ever found myself praying for soap opera characters while half asleep. But if I did, I would learn from it.
