Actually, my last week or so has felt a lot like a weekend. So here it is, in bite-size pieces.

A long-awaited (by some, at least) game of Risk took place. Matthew took over Europe almost immediately, much to the chagrin of me and Seth, who had previously controlled maybe half of it. Seth amassed his troops and attacked Matthew's eastern flank. (I love that word, "flank.") Seth said he thought it was probably suicidal, but that he was going to go down in a blaze of glory. Well, he meant to say "blaze of glory" but actually said "glaze of glory." We laughed. "Yes!" he added. "I am the donut of freedom!"

Sarah Jean brought me socks from France! They say Je suis unique au monde. I am unique in the world.

I was tricked into playing Mario Kart. Seth, Matthew, and Sarah made it look so fun. Of course I am much worse than all of them, but I had fun anyway. I drove on the railroad track instead of the road one time, just to see what would happen. I still liked watching better. Especially the track with the ice and penguins. "Ooo, penguins! I love penguins."

"Like Tux?" Matthew said.

"I like Tux," I cheerfully agreed.

"This is Tux's evil twin, Sux," Seth quipped.

When even the History Channel got boring and Matthew was teasing me, I went from just nonchalantly backhanding him to realizing that hitting is more fun than arguing and began a periodic assault--soon more poking and tickling than hitting--that lasted until he left. He tended to grab my wrists to keep my hands away from him. He also claimed I was bruising him by poking and striking him so, but that wasn't nearly as effective as pushing me away with his feet. He's pretty good at those kinds of things, for someone who always claims to have no musculature.

He told me I was a sadist for behaving so; I said he provoked it by being so mean to me in the first place, and that I was actually probably a masochist for wanting him around. He considered that for a moment and then said, "Matt-sochist." Yes! That's what it is!

As for what's happened the last day or so, I shall point you to this post by my counterpart in silliness. I had a great day--well, afternoon; people don't get moving very early when they go to bed at five in the morning--but I guess Darren was bored or wanted to go back to sleeping in his own bed; he left about an hour ago. I shall miss him ... but he left me with chai and less tangible happiness.

"Checking your e-mail again?" I asked him earlier this afternoon when he was sitting at my computer. "Silly boy."

"That's redundant," he told me, and then didn't understand why I laughed at it.

French socks - oooh loveliness - though I have no idea what Je suis unique au monde means. I am...something or other?

Donut of freedom...damn, I'm amused and hungry now :)

Seven years of Italian taught me languages aren't my thing *sighs*...I tried French once, and that just confirmed what I already knew. But I can say "tres bien". So it wasn't entirely a failure :P

Your socks sound tres bien :)

Friends are always odd, that's the best thing about them (to me anyway)! The "donut of freedom" bit is still giving me giggles (and somewhat predictably, images of Homer Simpson.that show has forever changed the way I view donuts. It's a mental association thing now,they just go together like umm things that go together well *g *).

Bloody peasants!

I took over Europe immediately, not almost immediately. Get it right! I just hope that Katie didn't leave because I was irate after she conquered Greenland. I wasn't mad at her; I was mad at the dice.

I saw that you also listed "adding random people" as an interest, so, hey, I'm adding you!

I love the background and the penguin icon. Very cool.

Go to [Unknown site tag] to meet lots of new people if you'd like.

Hey, I saw that you added me as one of your friends and i wondered why. And then i checked your info and one of your interests is randomly adding people, which is definitely fine by me. I like your journal, so i added you back!
