As I attempt to get used to writing, I've decided to blog about little "nothings" that happen throughout every day.

SCRABULOUS has a website??!!
As I was perusing the complaints bulletin of the new Scrabble Beta application on Facebook, I noticed someone recommending the Scrabulous website. I honestly have to say that I never even thought twice about the possibility of a Scrabulous website. I thought it was some sort of Facebook thing. You can guess how fast I typed in the URL and headed over to sign up. However, as anxious as I was, I was shocked by how different it was. First off, you play in real time, instead of playing anytime you want, as it was for Facebook users, which makes it a lot more stressful trying to think of words. To add on to that, you only get a ten minute maximum time limit for each game. Each move you get, you better be prepared to lay down your word as fast as you can, which is somewhat difficult for an owner of a laptop. As soon as I entered into one of the game rooms, where I was curious to see how it was set up, I got a request to play. Of course, the Scrabble/word game junkie that I am, I said yes. I was totally winning too, against this nameless person I had never met before, or ever have the intention to, until the last possible second. I had a word but I only had seven seconds left on the clock. That pressure really gets to you as you are trying to place your tiles down. Of course, I didn't do it, and I lost by a sheer ten points. If you are willing to check it out, be prepared. It's not for the faint hearted.
