My partner's family plays games after dinner and I really like it. Like really. I've always wanted to be around people like this, family or otherwise. When I was growing up I wanted to play games all the time but my family wasn't really about that life, which is okay, people are different, but, also, I was kinda sorta led to believe that it was foolish and selfish of me to assume that other people on earth would, if they had their druthers, want to play games every day.
Sometimes I write stuff out here and like, big parts of myself move and shift and morph into a different configuration of me. Not always, but sometimes. Today is a sometimes. Something else slid into place or at least into view, but then it ran away. I wanted to catch it so I closed my eyes, thought back, remembered, parsed, and processed, and the pink goo became a hotdog of pure thought and I understood that an image of adulthood was loaded onto my hard drive a long time ago and the last 20 years have really only been about slowly, slowly, sloooowwwwlllly realizing that all of my whimsy was systematically beaten out of me at a young age and only started to grow back properly about five years ago.
It was a rainy day in Victoria, but when you're a stone's throw from the ocean water means something different.
