Hehe! My favorite.

 
2. Nf3 d6
All normal.

 
3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4
This and Qxd4 are the best, I believe.

6... e6 7. f3 Be7 8. Qd2
You'd expect me to castle - but I usually don't

 
8... Qc7 9. g4 b5
Let's get started with our attacks.

 
10. g5 Nfd7 11. O-O-O
Castles to safety.

 
11... Bb7 12. Kb1
I'm always afraid of Nxb5.

12... Nc6 13. h4 Nce5
Planning Nc4.

 
14. Qf2 Nc5
I like to work my knights.

 
15. Rg1 b4 16. Nce2 Rc8
So far, I think I have a slight advantage.

 
17. Rc1 Nc4 18. Nb3
She's reacting to all my moves. Something you shouldn't do unless forced.

18... a5 19. Nxc5 dxc5 20. Ng3 Nxe3
Getting rid of her nasty bishop.

 
21. Qxe3 c4 22. Qe1 a4
See, my pawn's can run freely. For now.

 
23. Be2 Bd6 24. Nh5
Here come's the decision. Do I castle or not?

 
24... Kf8
I don't!

27. Nf6
The way I see, it's not big of a threat on f6.
