I saw you again at a store called Greywhale. Easily the best place to go for used CD's, movies, or video games, I was in there contemplating buying a boxed set of the Animaniacs for my little brother. Then I saw you and I was entranced. Had it really been 12 years? You still looked beautiful as ever. Timeless in your beckoning posture. I had almost completely forgotten about you.
The painful way our relationship ended brought tears to my eyes that long ago night, you know. Just looking at you today brought back a ghost of phantom pain across my jaw. Why was our relationship interspersed with violence? God only knows. You looked so seductive that I was forced to ask myself the hard questions.
Was I mature enough to be with you again? Twelve years ago, I was just a teenager. I was still listening to the Pet Shop Boys and thinking they were cool. I was so naïve back then! Emotional and physical abuse seemed the answer to every question and were tools I frequently exerted on you. But now! I simply HAD to be more mature now than I was! The law of averages is on my side.
What about the fighting? My temper ran so short that I snapped at you after a few seconds. One time I even called you a bitch under my breath. I'm so sorry. I promise that now I'll be more collected. More in control of my emotions. You can trust me the way I trust myself.
My family? They wouldn't come between us like they used to. I'm older now, and I've moved away from my family. You wouldn't have to compete for my affections. I'll give you my undivided attention and ---no---I promise to never call you a motherfucker. I will treat you with nothing but the respect and confidence I have gained over these many years.
The final end-all slap? Yes, it terminated our relationship as if it were a thread cut by scissors. It was all my fault that night. You had nothing to do with it. I shouldn't have lost control and lashed out physically. I deserved what I got. That slap was totally justified and I deserved the swollen jaw I endured. Just come with me and I will show you how much things have changed.
With a trembling hand, I guided you to my car and drove you back to my place. It was amazing. In a few short minutes, the years in between us melted away. It was like you had never left my life at all. It was so perfect, I grinned like a fool. And then it went downhill.
Why shouldn't I have tried to pick up where I left off? I mean, yes it was a long time, but I could still remember how it used to be. How my fingers used to glide like they were possessed. How I used to coax and cajole every action out of you. It seemed like it was meant to be. But you resisted me. You SHUNTED me. You didn't want my advances anymore than you wanted me. You bitch.
Did I say that? I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. It was the heat of the moment. You always were so good at pushing my buttons. Much better than I was. You knew--and still know--how to drive me into a frenzy. I'm sorry. I love and adore you. Really I do.
And you taunt me. Even if you don't come out and say it, I can read it. You don't think I'm good enough. You don't think I can do it. All the other experiences throughout the years mean shit to you. To you, I'm still just a fumbling teenager who can't get his act together. My hands clench so hard that my knuckles turn white. In a flash my love for you is replaced by seething anger and resentment. I call you a whore. You sit there and mock me. Damn I hate you. You were nothing but trash the first time I was with you and you're nothing but trash now. Why can't you just cooperate with me? Why can't you just listen to my frustrations? Why can't you just
GIVE ME A MOTHERFUCKING STRAIGHT LINE YOU PIECE OF SHIT DAMNABLE COCKSUCKING TRASHY FUCKING WHORE OF A DAMN GAME!
God Tetris, I love you so much.

It's scientifically proven that Tetris is more addictive than crack.
Ever play that shit on your eyelids while you are trying to go to sleep? TERRIBLE!

Ahhhh. I get it now. Still should have left the swollen jaw out of this one though.
After reading your first post, I'm impressed how you managed to survive the fallout after damaging something worth $250,000.
Course, I'm pretty sure no member of my family would let me near something so valuable today, let alone when I was a dumb kid.

http://www.ubersite.com/m/83495 that's my first post about how my frail looking grandmother managed to break my gameboy into 4 seperate pieces and stop me from playing Tetris for a long time.

the first time I had tetris was one a game boy and it led me to scream out a curse word and physically kick out with my feet and break my grandmother's antique love seat from pre WW2. She slapped me so hard my jaw bruised

I really enjoyed this, although I too do not understand how the game gave you a swollen jaw. That's what's preventing me from +2ing.

Predictable, plus you said that Tetris physically slapped you. How did that happen?

Tetris is like twiddling your thumbs. While your vision is slowly ruined. Give me Street Fighter 2 any day.

I'd rather stab my testicles with rusty scissors than play Tetris ever again. It was so tedious.

Tetrisphere is far more insidious.
