Gaming

I love to play games at home. I am a role player. Our family plays cards, board games, and more. I find, though, that I am not as interested in playing games online. I think that the reason is that everytime I get started I end up spending so much time getting relatively few things done. :) Also, I really miss the in person interaction that I get from some other in site games.

I found that if I am going to game online, I pretty much want to be doing it with my family members. I enjoy the short games that my kids play to win pretend points in Neopets and other such sites. I do not mind watching other people play. My favorite kids game sites are http://www.neopets.com/ and http://www.webkins.com/. Really I think that we enjoy the taking care of pets more than anything else in these sites.

I tried http://www.jigzone.com/ and enjoyed myself quite a bit. The game itself was relatively short. Also the site has options to upload your own picture. I am sure that I would also like strategy games.

I also like hearts and spades online. I do not mind playing with other people that I do not know, but it is so much more fun to play with people that you know.

I have some friends who do online role playing using IM and webcams. They seem to like it, but they do admit that it is not as fun as playing in person.
