The game of Life - Paddy

The title of my blog refers not to a rather philosophical take upon the nature of life itself, but rather a children's boardgame. Sorry, if you were excited to hear some deep meaning philosophies and statements that could be eternally quoted but I don't really have that strong an opinion on the great game that is life.
The children's boardgame to which I refer is The Game of Life, in which you the player must move through all the pitfalls of adult life, from university to retirement, whilst trying to amass a personal fortune in both cash and assets. Earlier, upon my sisters insistance, I partook (is that a word?) in a game with her and her friend. This is a fairly regular occurence, yet my sister was without victory at life in well over a year. Her failure to live well had indeed become a running joke amongst several of her friends and family. But today, today, Vikki won at life. She successfully amassed a fortune of £2,590,000, which is a fair amount in this game. She was excited and even posted of her vicotory on facebook thusly:
FINALLY I have defeated my arch enemies Paddy and Joel at game of life after about a year! I am VICTORIOUS!!
She is not a cool person.
This has been a fairly disappointing blog for you I imagine. Either due to lack of philosophy or because you have no interest in Vikki's winning-ness. Sorry for that.
