Epic win through surrender
Nov. 27th, 2008 07:52 pmSo, everyone knows I'm a total buzzkill skeptic, right?
Well, this Thanksgiving, while my brother's new mother-in-law was out in the backyard giving tarot readings, I was upstairs figuring out how to play World of Warcraft on my iBook.
I have Big Problems with people who claim to talk to the dead, but I don't really have a problem with goofy fortune-telling games. But, that doesn't mean I'm going to keep my mouth shut during such a game. So I just stayed out.
I worry that doing so was still seen as passive-aggressive, but ultimately everyone left with a pile of leftovers, and nobody thought Thanksgiving was ruined, and that's what's important.
