I meant to go to bed early last night. I said my good nights, closed down AIM, brushed my teeth, went to the bathroom, got in bed and, knowing I had to get up extra early to do wood at 7 AM I … turned on the xbox and played not one but two games of Monopoly.
Hi, my names is James and I’m a Monopoly Party addict.
Whenever it’s raining and the new dish goes out, I go into my bedroom and use the work computer to connect to the internet. Since I don’t own it I figure, sure, I should use THIS one during the lightning storms and it won’t matter. Right next to that little computer desk, of course, is the TV and the Xbox. So I sit there playing Monopoly until the lightning passes.
Last night I played one game and shaved 4 minutes off my winning time. Yes, I bankrupted everyone within 15 minutes. The following game, I screwed up. I let one of the computer players get the very first two squares. I didn’t really have a chance to do anything about it since I was heavily in debt from buying off a square of every color on the rest of the board. I decide to tough it out instead of vainly hitting reset or quit (not that’d I’d EVER do that). One round later, and hitting free parking, hitting go to jail, then hitting free parking AGAIN, I was out of debt and on my road to recovery.
Since the computer guy had his little 2 squares filled with houses and a hotel his bank account was quickly filling up past $10,000. I knew I couldn’t bankrupt him easily, so I took out the other two guys first then turned my attention towards him. Sure he had his two squares, but when the bloodbath was over, I had $29,000 and all the squares. $11,000 more than my record.
Yes, I’m addicted. I’m filling my blog with monopoly stories.
I’ve vowed not to play today. Yes, I admit that I need help and I’m seeking it.
Help me.
