i was never good at connect four. so it would follow that i'd be even worse at connect five.

i'm not especially excellent at any game. i'm above average in scrabble, but i do still get blown away by other above average players. i'm decent in trivial pursuit, but it also helps if i'm playing against fourth graders. charades? you would think that being italian, i'd have the hand gestures down pat, but i notice that i tend to use the same hand gestures for a variety of different things. like, "i'm eating some pasta" and "i'm in the navy and ship out tomorrow" look exactly the same.

i either suck or rule at games of chance. but so does everyone.

i don't play sports. once, i was on a softball team when i was a wee little one, and i've spent the last sixteen years trying to erase the whole incident from my head. i can't play volleyball because i bruise my wrists. i can't play tennis because my forearms are weak. i can't play basketball because it's too much running around, and i'm usually in heeled boots. ice hockey? ha. now that would make a good sitcom.

i'm not bad at mystery date.
