but this pain that you put me through, it isn't love now

I don't understand how it's gotten to be the 5th and I haven't written a real journal entry.

Well, yes, I do. Summer does this to me. Depression does this to me—robs me of my words, of any articulate phrasing I could lay claim to, any Jenga puzzle of words I could pull out a block from—does anyone even play board games anymore, when there's Sims and WoW and Civ and Fallout and Mass Effect and Bioshock?

I don't think we even own any.

The wound on my breast continues to heal. That's not a metaphor, although it'd be a good one.

My family plays Scattegories every time we get together. We've gotten really good, and plus we get to judge my sister's boyfriends by how well they play or how gamely they lose. We had a brief Boggle phase, but then someone lost our set. And we can't play Scrabble because my Dad is amazing, and my brother is terrible, and it quickly becomes no fun at all.

...Anyway. In case you really were curious about the state of board games.

I like board games but I have no one to play with, sadly.
