bandwagons! i'm on them!

i finally joined the rest of civilization and downloaded draw something (start a game with me! i draw terribly! alicewonderland0! [<-- that's a zero.]) and now i have many questions.

first off: what's up with the people who WRITE THE ANSWER? i realize this is a free game, for fun, no penalties blah blah whatever, but seriously, if your entire entry consists of writing the word "CONVERSE" that's kind of lame.

secondly: do i have to buy the paid version to get more than 3 colors? everyone i play with has all these great colors! i have color envy!

relatedly: if i get more colors, does that mean i can also do things like fill an area without having to scribble it full of color? i sense that other people have more sophisticated methods - or, you know, it could just be i'm terrible at drawing.

third: ok, this one isn't really a question, but it's along the lines of the CONVERSE genius up there. when i first downloaded the game, i was really eager to play RIGHT! NOW! but didn't yet know anyone's usernames, so i started a bunch of games with internet strangers. this is what happens when you do that. i received this drawing:

the answer was four letters, and there was no R, P, or T (ruling out "rail" or "post" which were my initial guesses). i even did the bomb thing to blow up extraneous letters, and still was completely stumped.

do you know why?

BECAUSE THE ANSWER WAS "FANS."

fans.

i'm truly not sure if he thought "fans" was close enough to "fence" that i'd figure it out, or if he is terrible at english.

as i love me a good bandwagon, i also joined the multitudes of droid users who downloaded instagram yesterday (follow me! alicewonderland0! [<-- still a zero]). expect many pictures of my cats, except now with FILTERS!

i only have to survive 3 more days of work, and then it's CRUISE TIME BABYYYY! roatan! belize! costa maya! i really, really cannot wait. my body is barely hanging on this week, and i am looking forward to spending a solid week relaxing, sleeping, eating, sleeping, and relaxing. i've been using fake tanner on my legs as a courtesy to the other cruise guests for when i break out my winter skin for the first time, but it's still going to be pretty painful for all of us. i mean, it would be if we weren't on a cruise in belize. :)
