Games that require aim and/or strength are simply not for me.
Take foosball.
After months of playing (though inconsistent) I have the shooting skills of a starfish.
As for pool, I’ve decided to stop trying to play it, in the vicinity of anyone because of the sheer embarrasment of missing the ball entirely and my cue scraping the pool table cloth (It costs a few hundred to replace it ok, you think I dare?)
For Counter Strike, well, I get nauseous playing it. Need I say more? But then other people told me they get that as well, so not so bad.
What game am I good at then? Those that involves…..
…Physics.
Shit why am I only good at these kind of games?! Those computer games that require you to solve puzzles according to the laws of gravity, pressure and whatnot.
Oh yeah, I am also good at Snakes and Ladders.

Summer Fling-ee is turning out to be a real disappointment.
Good: He knows I’m alive.
Bad: He knows other people are alive as well.
Good: He thinks I’m pretty.
Bad: He doesn’t know we’re supposed to be having a summer fling until I leave.
Good: He calls me.
Bad: He calls me to say he’s sick and can’t make it.
Good: He holds my hand in the cinema.
Bad: He drops it as soon as I get a jacket.
And I have to think he’s so cute, dammit.
