Games I play

I don't think this is normal, but I play games with myself...almost ALL of the time. I'm not talking about the mind games that boys play with girls in the dating world. I'm talking about games, in my head, that no one else knows about except me. These games are not challenging, really. and they are by no means difficult to play. but for whatever reason, i find them very entertaining and rewarding; especially when I win.


One of my favorite games is the "Car Game". When I see three of the same model car parked in a row in a parking lot or driving down the street, I win. For example, if there are three VW Jetta's all parked next to each other in a lot, I win the game. Just like that. It's simple. I get bonus points (obviously) if all three Jetta's are the same color. That's only happened once for me though. It just so happened to be when I was passing a parking lot for a utility company and there were a whole lot of white Priuses lined up in the lot. And I mean hundreds! I kind of had a field day with that win! Some might say it's cheating. But then again, no one really knows that I am playing these games, so there is no chance of ever getting called out on my game playing tactics.

A new fun game I like to play with myself is the "Facebook Game". I click on my profile and then look at the friends section. There is a algorithm on Facebook that randomly selects 8 friends profile pictures to appear underneath your own profile picture. If I dated ANY of the 8 friends who appear in the random 8, I win the game. I don't win this game too often but I do play the "Facebook Game" quite a bit. I just keep hitting refresh until I eventually win the game. It's especially rewarding to win at this game because my chances of winning are fairly slim. I still remember the night when two ex-boyfriends photos appeared at the same time. I think I actually let out a yelp. As you can imagine, that was a pretty exciting win for me!
