Oh, How I Wish I Could Show This

So my friend, Leah, bought the game Catchphrase to play with the girls in our dorm since we like playing board games together and whatnot (I got Apples to Apples for my birthday this year). If you've never heard of Catchphrase, it's this electronic game where you have different categories (food, entertainment, the world, everything, etc.) and each category has a list of words or phrases. The point of it is to describe the phrase to your partner before time runs out in order to get a point. Kind of like the game Password or Taboo.

Anyways, Nicole and I initially paired up and played a couple of rounds against other pairs. After a while, no one else wanted to play and so Nicole and I decided to see how many we could get per round, but only focusing on the entertainment category since we're total pop culture junkies (Remember that show The World Series of Pop Culture? Nicole and I wanted to try out if they still had it going. Our team name? The Triwizard Champions).

So we're playing and I notice that our friend, Erin, has her computer screen facing towards us. We stop a round and I turn to Erin and ask, "Is that recording?" She had been recording us for a minutes or so, but Nicole and I being the good sports that we are decide to keep it going. What resulted is this 13-ish minute video of Nicole and I playing Catchphrase, separated over three parts on Facebook. I just wish that I could put up the link, but alas, I'm pretty sure that I cannot. I have to ask Erin if she posted them onto YouTube as well because it's just so crazy.

Haha, my friends and I are cheap, so we haven't yet invested in any new games. We stick mostly to someone's old, beat-up Taboo or scribbling Charades prompts on slips of paper. :D

I HEART GAMES. Especially Charades, which my theatre major friend and I own at, 'cause we always write down really obscure film titles. My HS choir would always do Charades during competitions and schtuff. AH, THE MEMORIES.

Yeah, none of us had games and my birthday was an excuse to buy some. XD

I, too, LOVE playing games with my friends, especially when you know the people really well so you use inside jokes to describe things, or you end up creating inside jokes.

And I haven't played charades in AGES. Using obscure movie titles sounds lots of fun. :D

It was so much fun! I was feeling kind of crappy today, but, thankfully, I don't feel as bad now. I missed you, too, and I hope you feel better soon!!
