stop me oh oh oh stop me

Hi. My name is Reese. And I'm addicted to Yahoo! Graffiti.

Oh.

My.

Gosh.

Do you know this game? It's basically 'Pictionary' on your computer. And it is crazy fun!

If you're lucky, you get on a table with people who actually draw - and not write out the answer [insert eyeroll]. 'Seating' up to 8 people per table, each person takes turns drawing a series of words and phrases (from R2D2 to hockey puck to bite) for the rest of the table to guess. You're given crayons, an eraser, a blank screen and a SKIP button to help you. Once you see the word, start drawing! However, using a mouse to draw, blows. I need to get one of those pen things. (Well, no; I really don't. But, I'm gonna.)

As you're drawing, the others type in guesses. Type in the correct word or phrase, you get points. If the guessers aren't getting it, the person drawing can click the guessed words in the scrolling screen to give hints as to the answer. Some of the answers are so off-the-wall! Which makes sense because some of the drawings are ridiculous as well!

I was up well past midnight playing Graffiti. And, as I sit here typing this, glancing at the clock, I'm seriously trying to figure out if I have time to play a 'quickie' before going to my lunch/meeting. (I don't have time. But, I could make time.)

Might as well face it, I'm addicted.
