I’m not sure how I feel about WarMachine lately. I like the game & I like hanging out with people & playing...but I’m not very good at it. Strategy stuff comes slowly for me. And I don’t really want to put the time into it to be truly good. But I don’t want to be made fun of because I suck either. I don’t want to be the wife who shows up to play & is an easy victory for whoever fights her. But I don’t really want to work hard enough at this to be anything more than that.
So yeah...not sure what I’m feeling about it right now. I like hanging out and I like playing the game for fun & entirely non-competitively, but I don’t like playing a serious game... I just want to screw around with it & it seems like very few other people see it as that.
I had a really nice day on my own this past Saturday. I slept in & lounged around in my PJs. Then, I did some work around the apartment & watched HGTV and TLC while I was straightening up. It was nice to have "me time". I even painted my toenails! I was in a great mood til Patrick told me that everyone was joking around at the venue about who was the easiest player to beat & Patrick said his wife was. And nobody argued with him! That bothers me a bit more than it should. It just reinforced my feelings of suckage & definitely doesn't encourage me to want to try harder that's for sure.
Hmm...bleh. Just some thoughts. I probably just need a couple weeks off. But it was nice having some "me time". Oh well, I'll figure it out. Maybe I just haven't found my niche game yet. Not that I'm giving up on this, but it's just frustrating sometimes.
