I wonder if it's possible that the games that we learned as children were really just preparation for the lives we would lead as adults

life as a group of systems with arbitrary rules and goals. systems with arbitrary rules and goals: games. I used to think about this often. luckily 'winning' doesn't mean the same thing for everyone. what do *you* want?

also: you really played a game called 'perfection' when you were a kid? that's a little scary.

I told you, I have issues. You thought I was kidding about the perfectionism thing?
