Call me GG.
I’ll make this one quick: I’m not a game player.
Just, whatever it is, please no. It’s been an unfortunate burden on my friendships – from the Bananagrams to World of Warcraft enthusiasts, I’ve been disappointing for decades.
Now here I am, sharing a roof with the love of my life.
And his PS4. And a PS3, along with the Xbox siblings One and 360. I watch him play every day and I’ll be honest.
It’s fun. He really has great taste in games.
Which leaves me pondering about whether I’ll ever grow enough of a taste for it to want to join him on his quests, or remain cheering him on from the sidelines while holding onto our chihuahua child.
There are likely three kinds of people who will have a keen interest in our unfolding story. People like me, who are looking for a place in this unfamiliar, surprising world they have received with their commitment; people like my boyfriend, who may find some insight into their game-maidens’ hearts helpful in keeping a balanced relationship between what’s virtual and what’s reality; and as for the remainder, I hope there will be those interested enough in this story to see how the ‘true love’ endgame pans out.
I know I am.
Till next post, happy playing!
