Angry Birds. It's not a description of the emotional state of one of my pets. It's a video game that I've only played a couple times- the second time being last night.
People continually say how "addicting" and "fun" it is... And I'll agree with that. But only for about an hour.
Last night I was playing this particular game with my friend. He was pretty good. Better than me, in fact. Suddenly, I was transported back to 9 year old Gina, who played a lot of video games with her brothers. Incidentally, both my brothers are now owners of computer/tech businesses. Yeah... I turned out to be a professional dancer and dance teacher. Can you guess who was better at Super Mario Brothers and Final Fight?
In the first fifteen minutes of playing Angry Birds last night, I thought, "I don't suck so bad. I just need practice."
Fifteen minutes later: "I still suck... Maybe I just need to stick with it and NOT GIVE UP!"
Half an hour later: "I really suck at this. And I'm getting bored."
Forty five minutes later: "I am getting infinitely suckier, and I'M DONE."
Addicting? Yes. Fun? I'll admit to that. But only for awhile. Then it just gets annoying... Those pigs laughing at you gets really, really old. I'll probably end up playing again at some point though, because who wants to admit they can't beat a green cartoon pig hiding under a piece of wood?
Not me!

Frogger was always your favorite. I remember when you and Amber would play it on the Commodore and I would get frustrated because I couldn't play Shamus. =p
Hahahaha! You are right. That was OOOLLLDDD SCHOOOOOLLLL. Shamus was pretty fun. Have you seen the Frogger episode of Seinfeld?
