Kiss my jewels
It all started four years ago when I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter. I was on strict bed rest due to preterm contractions.
Everyday, I’d lay on the couch, like a beached whale. Bored. Out. Of. My. Mind.
I had not started blogging yet, and I am not much of a TV person. Besides, daytime television sucks. Luckily the internet offered something else.
Games. In particular, Bejeweled.
I shared my addiction with a good friend of mine (aka Buddisodes), and he began playing as well. We both played fairly well, and over the phone, we occasionally sparked competitive moments.
Nothing’s changed.
Three weeks ago, Angela from MommyBytes sent me an invite on Facebook to the tournament version of Bejeweled. I passed the invite on to Buddisodes, and he SWORE that I never beat his high score 4 years ago.
Oh, it was ON.
Every week the scores reset.
Every week my high score falls just slightly below his.
Every week the smack talk gets more ugly.
But not this week….Buddy.
Nuh uh.
LOLOL, you are too funny!!

How funny, I have a friend on FB who is always playing this game!! I don’t even want to check it out because more than likely I will get addicted too!

OMG, 223,000! You’re AWESOME! A couple of friends and I play the bejeweled blitz and my top is 184, 000. We all confess that we see combinations in our sleep, while we make dinner, change diapers, etc. It’s so addicting but I love it!

that game is addicting! I cannot get past 80,000
July 1st, 2009 at 7:17 am
I’m a little afraid to actually go try the game. After all, it was blog buddy who got me hooked on Lost….
Blessings!

The trick is to do it more than once – having demonstrated your superiority, it’s now imperative that you maintain your superior position. In other words, now that you have his face in the poop, you have to keep it there.

Wish I had that 4 years ago when I was on bed rest. I couldn’t leave the master bedroom towards the end. We had a small fridge by the bed w/my meals for the day. Oy. I didn’t have a blog yet, no facebook, no twitter, no Wii…and I walked barefoot in the snow for miles…lol.
What did I do? I watched the entire series of Dawson’s Creek…and slept…and counted minutes between contractions. It was worth it.

Wow! That’s terribly impressive, considering bejewled CHEATS.
Yes, it does. I’ll have points racked up and five obvious moves, and it’ll decide it’s had enough and do that shaky, you’re dead thing.
Cheater. Can you sue a computer game?
July 1st, 2009 at 10:06 am
I saw that yesterday, you lucky son of a pup!!! The best I’ve gotten so far is 170,000 even!! That 1 minute time limit is a killer, I don’t know how you did that…but you bet your arse I’m working on it

Oh my god! I am soooo addicted to that game too. I have it on my iPhone and I have already wasted to much of my life blissfully beating my last highest score. You have definitely outdone me though.
So I guess you are my new hero now!

July 1st, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Well, well, well. I got to 30,000 pooints on MSN Flexicon. And I’m going to sell the Kitchen Aide Artisan Mixer that was my prize, sell it on eBay and put the $$ towards a better camera.
I did see Bejewled there but never got into it.

I can honestly say I’ve never played that game. I have a bit of an addictive and competative personality myself. May have to give it a shot.
Congrats on kicking the pants off buddisodes.

I am so. very. afraid. of Bejeweled Blitz. Really. I waste enough time on the regular, self-competitive version.
I’ve had to make sure it’s far. far. far. away from me.
Shhhh… now my secret is out!

I have to admit that I am alternating between reading blogs and playing Bejeweled Blitz on FB. I am crazy addicted to it. I have never gotten over 200k, though! You’re officially my hero.

HAHA! That is too cute! I have to admit that while I was on strict bed rest for my last trimester of my pregnancy, I was hooked on Scrabulous, Litertati, and Scramble on FB. Yes, I’m a word geek! LOL!
I had no idea you were on bed rest! You’re right…it is BORING when you can’t do anything! I was on bed rest for 5 weeks…with only bathroom privileges…and Little One still cam 12 weeks early!
I’m scared to challenge you at Bejeweled! LOL!

You rock! And I so do not need to know about this game … I’m just got over my obsession with Bejeweled 2, which is hypnotic and addicting in its own right.
