So as I say I can't go through this town now without stopping and buying something. However there's more to it than buying the games for me. For a while it seemed as though I was becoming part of something a little secret and a little special. The store workers seemed pretty relaxed, very friendly and quite willing to engage you in their enthusiasm for their products.
The 'language' of board games that I spoke about in an earlier post didn't seem quite as enigmatic as I'd once believed. These things were accessible to me and, not only that, but I had something to contribute as well - novice as I was.
You know, don't get me wrong, it's not like my personal life is shot to pieces and I'm looking for somewhere else to spend my days! I just make the point that it felt good to be part of games and the gaming community - informal as it was.
Your mind takes you on logical steps. 'If this guy enjoys games and he spends time selling games - that must be a nice job!" Right?" I like games so perhaps I would enjoy selling games!' Right? ( You can see where this is going.) 'So what if had a store where I could sell games and perhaps make a bit of money doing so?'
When these things happen as thoughts they happen as quickly as a neuron can fire. The process isn't difficult. When you translate that thought process into a real world process - well that's when you run into problems.
Even so this was, perhaps, the starting point of a journey.
