The One With Day 23
Yes, I know that I haven't actually posted on the correct day in a while. But that's okay. I can still remember yesterday, at least for a few more hours ;-) So, yesterday I was still feeling pretty sick (mostly tired), but I managed to make it to my parents house without incident. Last night we played Nertz (PROPS to Daniel and Julie!), which was a lot of fun. Well, I had fun. I think it was a little too fast paced for everyone else, but that's okay. Jenn finally quit (which she does a lot. She's not much fun.), so we agreed to play HER game....Battle of the Sexes.
Hands down, worst game ever created. I am not kidding. I cannot remember the last time I was *side note, Daniel just called. Interesting....write someone's name and they call me....Hmmmmm...Bethany Joy Lenz, OH! Now I am sad again.* that disilusioned with a game. The cards that the girls got were ALL questions that everyone at the table knew, but ours were unanswerable. Anyway, I went to bed in a bad mood.
BUT, I finally finished the book I have been reading, Wild at Heart. And after careful consideration, it will have to go on my recommendation list! There are parts of it that seem to embrace a smidge of gender stereotyping and sometimes I feel like the author is trying to justify some violent tendencies, but overall the book is EXCELLENT! I recommended it to both men and women. A lot of the points hit me really hard. I guess there are a number of aspects about being a "man" that I never really entertained. And that is what the book addresses. Being a "man of God," sure, but more importantly, being a "man."
There are a bunch of things that I want to write for you guys on here, but it's Thanksgiving, so I am going back downstairs. I'll tell you more as I go along. Oh, and Daniel...I may not give it back to you yet. I want to read it again.
I will leave you with this qutoe, my FAVORITE from the entire book. Ironically, not by the author but by Gil Bailie.
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs.
Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that....

is people who have come ALIVE."

That's an awesome quote! I've heard that Battle of the Sexes is a really fun game. I've been wanting to play it for a while...but apparently it's not worth it!

Emily I like that game, and when I played it the guys won. I thought some of the women's questions were impossible, too. Maybe Jason just isn't a lady's man. ;-)
