Erin and I have recently developed a problem…when we turn out our reading lights and after staking our claim to our share of the covers we play one more game of Tetris on her Blackberry Pearl. She plays a game and then falls asleep while I play my game. I know what your are thinking “why does she need a Blackberry and “who still plays Tetris?”
You’re both right! But Blackberry's are cool (and free on Amazon) and Tetris is classic and if it is sad that I abandon reading some great novel that leaves me thinking in brilliant prose and reprogram my head so that I see Tetris in everything well I am working on it! If anyone knows a good program for breaking addictive video game habits please pass them along. But anyway…
Last night as I plugged in the phone, rolled over to dream of sweet consecutive ++++’s and breaking the 100 line barrier, ( I am not very good) my quiet half-sleep is interrupted by Erin in a childlike voice saying “ Are you Teenwolf?” and moments later “Don’t worry your secret is safe with me.” And then silence until morning.
That is the kind of girl I married.
