Hi, my name is Melissa and I'm addicted to Facebook Scrabble games.

Yes, it's sad but true. I have about thirty games going right now on the Facebook Scrabble application. It is so addicting and everyone knows it. It is the best distraction from homework since Facebook! This past weekend, when I was home in NJ, I played about four games of scrabble with Bob G. Yes, the King of scrabble. See, in my family Scrabble is a big deal. It's not a quick game like I make it on Facebook, it can take hours. When my Grandma, Aunts, etc. come to visit, its quiet because it's game time. Even though the pot of money for the winner is only around $10 a person, it still adds up and is played in all seriousness. I was never allowed to play during these games since I would lose patience over the hours they spend playing and due to the fact that my vocabulary was not as strong as my Dad and relatives. Whenever I did get the chance to play against my Grandma and Dad they would always try and help me. This would make me extremely frustrated and not want to play because I wanted to be able to do it myself.

My current battle within Facebook Scrabble are matches against Luke Shane. He is a beast. And in this game online it can go either way with luck. You could have 5 E's or no vowels at all while the other person has everything. So nowadays I find online scrabble to be more of a luck of the draw than actual skill. This does not explain how beastly Luke Shane is at this game. I'm still waiting to someday defeat him. I will post when I do!

As for now I will keep to myself in playing against random people on Facebook that I can play easy to difficult games with anonymously.
