downloaded an online chess app a couple days ago. i haven't played in so long, i was curious how i'd be. but i realized why i quit — i find it super addictive and completely pointless. i guess i find it frustrating that i'm not as good as i used to be as a kid. once i start, i just keep playing more games, trying to get my rating back up to where it was. and because i feel like i should be better than the people i'm facing, i play sloppy, assuming they'll play badly enough that i'll win anyway. it's a total waste.
