Lack of strategy
Played Jeopardy online today for like three hours. Suck at it. Then played some Wheel of Fortune. Also sucked at it so went back to Jeopardy, where I proceeded to suck some more. The problem with me and games is I have no strategy. My younger brother taught me chess (yes, I'm that much of a loser, my baby brother had to teach me how to play chess) and I was awful at it. I moved my pieces erratically - not that I could remember the legal moves anyhow - and was usually checkmated in like ten moves. I have yet to win at Monopoly, Candyland or Battleship, simply because I refuse to plan ahead. The only time I've won at Tic Tac Toe was when my opponent was half-asleep. The funny thing is, for almost every other aspect of my life, I have a strategy. I have strategies that would make General Patton cry. In high school, I juggled six classes and three afterschool tutorial jobs, plus some extracurriculars. I can finish a four-hundred page novel in less than a day. When I put my mind to it, my strategies tend to kick ass, if I do say so myself. I abandon them all when it comes to games though. My only strategy there is to not laugh too hard that my friends quit and leave in disgust (has happened, as they will attest). I don't know. I've mentioned before that I suck at games and sports. The latter because, well, I'm a big fat cow with two left feet and the coordination of a drunk walrus (sorry for the mixed metaphors). But the former, I'm thinking it's a combination of really crummy luck and just no planning on my part. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to lose four thousand dollars on online Jeopardy.
Final thought: It's not how you win or lose, it's how you play the game. (And I play badly and lose!
