Fighting Kings, Queens, Midgets and Dragons…(Game of Thrones)


 It all started in an ordinary evening when we were wondering in a café, what movie to watch. The weather was hostile outside, it was clearly not the day for a night out (should have though that twice). So a friend (until that time, now he is just another foe) suggested a new series called Game of Thrones. After eating a giant soulvaki we went home to check out what was that all about. I was feeling kind of tired, because the day was long, work seemed as 10 hours in hell so I didn’t have the will to watch the first episode until the end but guess who did…
Start walking man...there's nothing for you in my home
It was the begging of the end. She was so into it that it started to become an obsession. One episode became two in a row and two became three. It all changed those days. After trying to smash her computer (unsuccessfully) our nice ordinary life became something surrounded by swords, plots and an unlimited desire to watch the whole thing until its last…drop. You know, I was happy when it ended…I said to myself ‘’can I really be so lucky that these guys have filmed just 10 episodes’’.
this was my competition
I assumed naively that we would return to our ordinary life, filled with our silly funny moments that keep you going and that make you feel cool. Well, it wasn’t like that at all. When I got home one evening suddenly 4 huge books were on our bed. I thought that they were romantic novels or books of alternative medicine, stuff that women read. When I picked up one of them I saw the face of this guy…and I laughed….a lot, don’t get me wrong but he seems funny. Then full of confidence i saw the front page and the title was…..Game of Thrones.
One of her personalities at the time 
I felt almost like crying, screaming and smashing. After the invasion of all these ‘’ happy thoughts in my mind’’ she came in the bedroom, she shut down the lights, a kind of apple candle was lit and after looking at me in the eyes she said…full of…(not love anyways) warrior spirit….’’ I don’t know what plans you have for tonight but 4 sure I am not in them…have fun’’. I felt like she was cheating me with the warrior queen, with the midget and the dirty and barbarian kings…and with that fat guy (the writer) that he didn’t seem that funny anymore. Throughout the trip in this barbarian saga she was someone else, I’m telling you. It felt like I was sleeping with Jeanne D’Ark and instead of a sword she had a Samsung mobile that the wallpaper on it was the midget from the series. No flowers, no corny dinner, no favorite songs, nothing I did could save her from the mischievous story of the fat guy. Luckily, she is a fast reader and because she loved the books she was reading them faster than Superman.
I will kick your regal a@# man!
After all of the books ended I was afraid that she wouldn’t be the same. The idea of a female Conan wasn’t that great but I was lucky enough to have her back the way she was before.
If you guys find yourself in a similar situation…..leave. Go on vacations or find a place to stay for a while…trust me!
  
Game of thrones is a game for one.
