  • Looking at Xangans

    I was so lucky to be able to get together with xangan Crystalline and her sons while in Pensacola Beach! They came over to the Tiki House and had dinner with me and the rest of the family. I had a very good time! We played a card game called Fluxx that was nothing like I'd ever played before. I am still not sure how I managed to win... the rules keep changing! Then we played some online games from Jackbox.TV that my nephew had purchased. There was Quiplash, Tee K.O., Fakin' It, Trivia Murder Party, and Guesspionage. We played Quiplash and Tee K.O. Everyone had to have a smartphone or tablet or computer to play. We signed in with the code for the game and the game walked us through the rules. Easy peasy. With Quiplash you were given phrases and you had to fill in the blanks. The game would select two responses and we'd all vote on which one was better. You scored points based on how many votes you got. I laughed so hard my sides ached. Then we played Tee K.O. where you had to draw a picture - anything and submit it. Then you wrote as many phrases as possible. The game would give you 3 pictures and 4 phrases which you selected one picture paired with the best phrase. Then they would be be put up 2 at a time for voting. Some of the pictures were funny by themselves but when paired with the phrases they were hysterical! Again I was in tears laughing. Crystalline's boys are quick wits and have great senses of humor. All in all I wish we could have had more time together... maybe next time I visit!

    Here are a couple photos that Sparky snapped of us in front of the giant Tiki statue in the living room. Thankfully the photo was before we played games and my eye makeup was ruined giving me the appearance of a zombie or a rabid raccoon!

  • Enjoyed 'seeing' you again. :) We just got back from warm places and it's cold here. I wanna go back!

    • I want to go back too! The walk into work from the parking lot was miserable and doubly so on the way out!

  • @mcbery: Where did you go? One of my sons and his wife and 2 kids headed south after Christmas, because the kids don't go back to school until the 10th. I know they went to St. Petersburg, Fla. but I don't know where else. They just got home today.

  • The games sound like fun. I'm so glad you were able to visit with Crystalline. You both looks great in the pictures.

    • Thanks! I thought her top was very pretty - and festive! We had a good time and I was sad that her visit was so brief!

  • Such fun to meet and play with other Xangans (and to see photos of the ones you've never seen!) Sounds like a great visit!

    • That is one of the most valuable things about Xanga - meeting other Xangans in the flesh. I have met so many and made some great (lifelong I hope) friends!

  • @murisopsis: I ope that before too long I will be one of those on your list of 'Xangans met!'

  • It is always amazing to meet a xangan in person. I actually met my two best friends off xanga 12 years ago and 9 years ago. If you liked those games, invest in cards of humanity! I guarantee you will love it.

    • I'll have to look it up! We have the 2nd oldest gaming store in the country in town and they carry nearly any game you can name...
