It's All in the Game...
Monday, February 28th, 2011 09:17 amI have been informed that I am an Epic Mom™. The Impertinent Daughter informed me of this last night, shortly after she discovered me playing Lego Star Wars on my DS. Apparently, this is something that Ordinary Moms™ just don't do, which makes me wonder, because surely I cannot be the only geeky mom around... right?
I sort of inherited Lego Star Wars from the Impossible Son after he got a DSi XL. Unlike the DSLite, you can't play Game Boy games on a DSi XL, so... I inherited his Game Boy games, which amount to the Lego Star Wars, and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team, which I haven't played yet because... well... I'm trying to get into Pokemon, because both the kids are into Pokemon, but seriously, y'all, I get so mixed up, plus I'm almost afraid to play either game because I never know which kid has snuck up behind me to watch me play until I hear an agonized, "MOOOOOOOM!!! You can't fight a rock type pokemon with a grass type pokemon!!!" popping off in my ear.
I have to play my games when the kids aren't home, in other words!
I also learned a lesson last night. Never play Lego Star Wars before going to bed.
Why?
Because all my dreams were full of Legos. I was a Lego Auntie. It was... WEIRD! We went on vacation to Rockport again, and my kids were Lego kids, THO was a Lego THO, and set up a Lego canopy on the Lego beach, and the kids were in Lego water, and ran away from Lego jellyfish... And the Impertinent One was a Lego Soccer Ninja, kicking a Lego soccer ball on Lego grass, and we sat in Lego stands, and it was annoying when I had to get up, because I had to pop myself off the seats...
Don't even get me started on the Lego sex dreams!!
Let me put it to you this way... I had to invent the appropriate parts, and there was always this annoying >pop!< at the beginning and the end. Use your imagination.
*flails*
I want to thank everyone for their supportive comments on my last post. THO read the post and apologized profusely once he understood what was going on in my very busy head. It's going to take some work, but we'll figure our way around this one, just as we have before.
And in other news, I am still trying to get back into the swing of writing. Since I haven't signed up for any fests, and am reluctant to do so until I get my brain back in gear, it's been rather slow going. So, to help me get back into the groove, I'm asking y'all to prompt me. I'll do my best to fill them. Doesn't have to be Harry Potter, either. I could swing Star Trek, Dragonriders of Pern, Darkover, maybe Big Bang Theory, but that's a big maybe, with a possible, half-terrified stab at Stargate Atlantis. Or something original, if you give me enough of a prompt to build on. Go ahead, prompt me!
We'll see what we shall see!
