Yes, it's true - Scrabble is Thee place to hook up with that special someone. If you thought on-line Scrabble was just an innocent game for lexophiles and retirees, you'd be mistaken. There are men out there in Scrabble land, lots of lonely men just waiting to attract some unsuspecting female with their wizardry of triple word scores and uses for the letter Q. Trust me.
My guy started out normal enough, although he was rather chatty. Usually, any conversation between the opponents consists of short phrases like "nice move" and "I have all vowels", but my guy kept instant messaging me throughout our hour long game. I learned about his profession, his interests, and his love of Mexican food. I have to admit I was enjoying our conversation, but as we neared the end of the game, things took a definite turn from friendly to freaky.
Him: "I'm going to miss you."
Me: (Red flag! Red flag!) "Yes, it's been a good game. A close one."
Him: "I'm going to miss talking with you."
Me: (??!!) "Yes, it's been nice chatting with you too."
Him: "I'm going to REALLY miss you."
Me: (??!!!)
Him: "Will you miss me?"
Me: (??!!!!)
Him: "Because I feel like we have a special connection."
Me: (??!!!!!)
Him: "And I'm really going to miss you."
Me: (??!!!!!!)
And then, as I was hurriedly trying to play my last tile to finish the game before it could get any weirder, he totally and completely blew me away by sending me a link to this love song!
Sia - Day Too Soon
I have to say, the guy sure has good taste in music!
Ha ha.. I've had 'those' types too.. and the ones that try and use suggestive words any chance they get on the game... I did meet a new girl friend in scrabble land.. so not all bad !
ReplyDeletePS Added you to my blog roll.. does it sound patronizing to say I think you are amusing!?
ReplyDeleteYikes.......!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, is a "lexophile" someone who like Lex Luthor from Superman?
Oh my gosh, this post really made me laugh. How funny!
ReplyDeletehahaha. contemplating a game of online scrabble. i never even knew that existed. oh the world is such a lovely place. i just recently got hooked on scrabble on my bestie's ipad.
ReplyDeletenow back to freak a zoid, love song man. yes, he does have good taste in music. but i don't think the negates the freak aspect. do you?
Clare: No, it's not patronizing - I aim to be amusing.
ReplyDeleteAl: Lex Luther! Um....maybe.
Julie: thanks!
Nicki: Your right - good taste in music or not, the guy is still a freak a zoid!
Ewww, majorly creepy. He just had to go and ruin the game for you, didn't he ...?
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll have to start playing online scrabble. Must be cheaper than e harmony, ha ha!
ReplyDeleteCute blog! I'm now following you from best post of the week. Hope you'll come visit me as well!
So that's where the action is! Who knew!
ReplyDeleteLove the song. Such talent should really be recognized, and it's a first time for me. Thank you for sharing. I'm your latest follower. Nice to meet you. Have a fabulous weekend.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I have a character who plays online scrabble. I should have written a scene like this for her :D
ReplyDeleteHe sounds a little crazy and scary to me. I have played scrabble on FB with friends and family. Safe. Plus, I'm too old to have to try and play scrable and chess at the same time. (Chess: to have to keep one step ahead of the the challenger's next comment.)
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll just keep playing the robots! LOL
ReplyDeleteAwww flipping 'ek, you make me laugh, you do! Especially - 'I'd like to share with you a love song that was given to me from a special guy I met playing on-line Scrabble'! Bloody priceless!
ReplyDeleteShit mate, I watched the video and at first the girl looked like a geeky, bra-less, druggie. But then she opened her mouth ........ and WOW! What a voice!
The upshot is that I think you should seriously consider boffing scrabble-guy. Really.
P.S. Even better, if he met you playing online scrabble, you know he is after you for your brains first and foremost...... ummmmm yes!
Weird guy, but great video - love the singer! Truth is, I'm going to REALLY miss her, because I feel like we have a special connection, and I'm really going to miss her.
ReplyDeleteGreat video, love the song :)
