I could write country songs.

In the public transport system of love, I'm sitting at General Motors station waiting for a train that never comes.

It could be worse. East Richmond is more annoying, 'cos you get to see all the ones who've caught that train going by while you sit there, doing nothing but getting older...

Nah, East Richmond's only a short walk away from Richmond station, and many other entertainments...

[youraugustine.livejournal.com]

What, you too?

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah.

[youraugustine.livejournal.com]

Game of cards while we wait?

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Sure! What do you want to play?

[youraugustine.livejournal.com]

Know how to play Speed? >=)

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

No... sounds like it might be a bit like a game I played as a kid called "Spit".

[youraugustine.livejournal.com]

Speed was the game of choice in the greenroom at dance competitions and performances. Deal out two piles of five cards, and then two in the middle, face down. Then split the rest of them evenly. Each player takes the first five cards and you try to put them down in the right sequence on the cards in the middle and get rid of your pile first.

Got so fast at it we could go through an entire game in less than a minute thirty.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

That's fast. *grins* What's the right order?

[youraugustine.livejournal.com]

It's mostly what can go on what. For instance, you can cover a 2 with either a 3 or an Ace and nothing else. ^^ So you can also screw your opponent up by sliding your ace down where they wanted their 2.

Yep, that's Spit. I haven't played that for about ten years or so... :)
I used to play it at Holiday Program.

[youraugustine.livejournal.com]

I haven't played in ages. We used to have tournaments in the greenroom. We'd spend houuuurs and hours at it while our dance-moms were doing hair and makeup for whoever wasn't playing.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

That's totally what we called Spit. (That's totally what I said the first time. >_> )

That really does sound like the title of a country song.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Too long for a title. One of the lyrics, perhaps.
