Good job!

Up +100 Down

I have a roommate who's a good guy and one of my close friends. However, he has this weird need to be congratulated any time he does anything well/ gets a good grade, to the point he'll tell you about it for days until you tell him good job. This wouldn't bother me if the things he was excited about weren't sometimes absolutely ridiculous. He lacks even the hint of an athletic bone in his body, but our other friends and I allow him to join us when we play pick up sports or other athletic endeavors, even though it often costs us the game. So after he made a big deal out of making a basket (his first after 6 months playing basketball with us), we decided to really include him. We deliberately signed up for the top level IM basketball league and let him join. A few weeks of getting physically beat up and feeling completely incapable has humbled him a little bit, and he thinks next year he will pass on the IM sports because he's "busy". Games are once a week for an hour.
