Stupid competitive impulses

Carey and David came back from General Assembly last night (can't say G.A. or people might think they went to Georgia, which is simply not true). While they were gone, they invented a new game, some variant of Egyptian Rat-Fuck that is played with tarot cards. In my normal stupid ego-way, I think this is very cool, but now I feel like I'm behind.
So now I need to invent something just so I can feel like I'm on level with them. Sometimes it's good to have people to compete with - it keeps you on your toes, and pushes you to do things you probably wouldn't have done otherwise. But dammit, I don't have to compete with everybody all the time. It's tiring and stupid, especially when I'm trying to match myself, all by myself, against a pair of people - playing solo against a team. Bleh.
One of the perils of holding the philosophy that life is a game, I suppose, is that at least half the time, you're bound to think that you're losing.
