My boyfriend suggested that I post my latest achievement in one of the few things that I do well - puzzle/tetris-like games. All of my high scores in Bejeweled’s ‘action’ section are all around 1,000,000.

This is what I do instead of studying or doing homework…_shakes head_

_then goes to play more Bejeweled_.

That’s right, folks. She’s a machine.

I used to try to compete with her in such games… I made my way up the ladder… 5,000 pts. - then 10,000! - but after turning the game over to her for no more than an hour, she would beat my score **several fold** , knocking my scores off one by one.

Then she’d beat my scores into the ground, and making a spot on the Top Ten Score list just out of my grasp.

And then she’d beat _her own scores_ into the ground. Her lowest score in bejeweled 2 is over a million. She clears lower levels in a single move. _Her speed bends spacetime._

Behold! With awe and amazement, I say: this is my girlfriend. 😃

Holy crap. In Bejeweled 2, I can score consistently in the 300,000+ range. The record in the house is around 600,000 or 700,000 pts, I think. I can’t even contemplate doing a million. Kudos to y’all!

In Bejeweled 2 the scoring is different between the Classic game and the Action version. My highest score in Classic is 326721, having gotten to the 24th level. My score in Action averages a bit below that when I manage to get to the 7th level. Yes, I’m not very fast in Action. :o
