Almost a meme
People have been posting about the five things that give them exhilarating moments.
Here's my one for today. I'm just back from leaping up down and doing a small dance around the lounge floor and grinning all over my face and shouting 'yes!'.
exalted_mugwump, waveney and I have been playing a game of mah-jong over the last few days. (We have to take a break every few hands or my shoulder flares up)
I'd been losing steadily, not a single mah-jongg hand for the entire game and was a thousand points down. I was getting desperate. I got a hand that was almost half characters and decided to go for broke. I nursed it, collected more, resisted the temptation to go for chows (even when Richard started laying down a number of doubles) turned it into potential pungs, discarded a possible chow in circles and waited.
Got it! All characters and all pungs. Four doubles! From being a thousand points down, I'm now 400 points up and I'm a very happy bunny.
Please visualise Xander doing the Scooby dance.
