TM - 202 - If life's a game who do you think is winning?

[toodamnmanymuses]

Um, hello, Life is a game. You can see it whenever you walk down any board game aisle in any store in the entire country. Don’t tell me you’ve never played it, because I’m not even human and I’ve played the damn game. You know, it’s that one where you try to get a good job, get married, have a ton of kids, and end up a bazillionaire with a huge mansion at the end of the game?

Except I think that part where you have to get married is such a crock. I mean seriously, what if I don’t want to get married? What if I’m quite happy going about life with just my lovers? Why should I be forced into marrying one of them just because it’s supposed to be some ideal or something? I mean, it’s just stupid. Also, I’ve done the kid thing and while I am an excellent mother, I’m not real keen on the idea of doing it again.

So yeah, Life is a game, and I’ve kicked everyone’s ass each and every time that I’ve played it. Even if it is stupid.

I always ended up as the accountant in that game. *laughs*

You're right though. It doesn't take into account the fact that there are many of us with little or no intention of getting married.

Exactly! I mean, not everyone ends up married in life, so I don't see why they should in LIFE.
