High Speeds and High Stakes

Well, I didn't do too much this morning. Around Three Thirty however I picked up my cousin Michael and we chilled at my house for about an hour. I had to drop him and my dad off in Beverly and then I went to disc replay in Orland Park. I also went to Tiger Direct and begrudgingly bought a new sound card for slightly more than what it would cost elsewhere online. I had a monopoly party, which I hardly remembered I had even planned last week, and boy was it irritating. I was playing with cory who can't freaking count, Alex who moves WAY too slow, and Steve who had never played monopoly in his 18 years of life. If that wasn't bad enough, Pakosz took advantage of Steve with an unfair trade thus letting him win the game. Usually I enjoy Monopoly, but I did not have the best of times during this session. I also got very angry at two drivers today who didn't know how to accelerate to the speed limit OR how to merge, that usually happens on a daily basis though.

I may have cried

Get this, I had nothing to do tonight, what a surprise, so I called up Pakosz and he said it was board game night at Suggets. Before all this however I was trying to open a speaker from a boom box but the stupid screw shaft is way too deep for any of my screw drivers. I tried to drill it out and see if I could get it from the side but no luck was there for me, so I'm gonna have to go at it with a saw. So I get to the party and we watched a bunch of videos on youtube and stuff, and then we went downstairs to play Settlers of Catan. If you've ever played this game you know that somebody always allies with somebody in the end when they know they can't win, just to prevent another player from winning. Well, I partnered with Jake to help him win and Pakosz went with Ryan, Gary was entirely neutral. At the end of the game Mike Sugget said he was gonna help me win by cheating, so he grabbed a bunch of resource cards and told me to drop something. I wasn't going to use the cards but I was going to go along with it just in case I had to do so to keep Mike Pakosz from winning. I drop my wallet, he picks it up and puts the cards in it and hands it to me. Once I take it I just start laughing so hard that I went straight to cry laughing. I did that for about a minute and a half because it was just so funny. I never actually used the cards but it was good nonetheless. Yeah, it was also storming crazy bad tonight.
