To help I Was A Stripper maintain one of her new resolutions, we decided to host a “dry” game night (hopeful). Typically, Boggle is our game of choice, but I Was A Stripper was also once on Touched By An Angel, so we opted for a game that involved acting – moods (nervous). If you haven’t played moods, you may never get the chance because it is no longer being manufactured (depressed). It is, however, the ultimate ‘all in the way you say it game’ (tense). Players draw a Phrase card and read it in the tone of the respective mood card so the other players can guess the mood/emotion (analytical).
It quickly became clear, after the first round in which I won, that The Leaver did not like to lose, so she really picked up her ‘game’ (crazed). “You had no idea I could act, did you?” she asked us (sneaky). Being that we were playing moods, we weren’t sure if that was part of her turn or an actual comment (perplexed).
As we continued to play, we all ended up winning a round (excited). “This night is perfect. Good food. The Carpenters. This game. Perfect,” The Leaver exclaimed (amused). “It is really good,” I Was A Stripper said (flirtatious). “There’s nothing sexier than a lawnmower. I’m going to start replying to text messages with phrases from this game,” I told them (amused).
Several hours after not really knowing what each other was saying or what mood we were each experiencing, we decided to answer the call to occupants of interplanetary craft, aka, bed from The Carpenters (zany).
