My plans for the night got changed, and being that I am the kind of person who responds oh so well to that, I got deeply depressed and grumpy. Luckily my fabulous boyfriend recognized the "needs-to-get-out-of-the-house" desperation in my eyes and called up Davyd and Myrna. "Catan?" he said. "Come on over!" they said. So garlic bread and cookies in hand, we arrived at their place for dinner.
After incredibly tasty spaghetti and slightly odd (see: whole grain with seeds on top) garlic bread, we cleared the table and got ready to settle Catan. The first board was awful! The game was much longer than any other game I'd ever played because some of the resources were sooo scarce. It ended up being a fairly sheep intensive game. Cities, settlements, and roads were all built out of smushed out lambies. Baa... But in the end, I won shockingly. After recapping the game amongst ourselves we realized it was only just 9:00, and decided to play again. Rob laid out the board a second time, and once again it was an awful setup. It became, practically, an entire game of developement cards. There was a large amount of grain as well, at least for me, which led to another victory. It was bizzare. In all of the times I've played Catan, I think I've only ever won twice before and now two times in one night. Whee!
A bit more talk followed along with a lending of Angel Season 3, and then Rob and I were on our way home. And here I am now - considering my bed and my day tommorow. There have been some other stories in my life recently, but nothing of terrible interest. I mean how many times can anyone hear, "Pixie's poor" before it starts to seem redundant. I know I'm tired of hearing it ;) Other than that it's school as usual, starting to worry about exams, and beginning to ponder the move to Ottawa. Should be at BPs tommorow night though, so hopefully I will see some of you there... Guten Nacht.
