Back from an early weekend, with a day to go
Well, I still have one more day in the weekend when I've done so much already, haha. Went over to my friend's house, visited a college, and went to the mall. Good times.

Shin: Haha, yeah. It's working great already, and no one is talking.
lea: :O! Blasphomy!
Karmi: Green burns your eyes? ;_;
Mimmi: We drew different stuff, like sports equipment and the school letters in school colors. Stuff like that.
RyudoStarwind: That reminds me, I gotta change it.

Mimmi: ;_; But yes, it was fun.
Solo: Oh yes, I enjoyed it, heh. Such an interesting thread.
Shin: I know, Shin. I know.
lea: :o
Karmi: I missed you, too. -.-
DW: :D

So I guess the first thing to mention is about the week leading up to my weekend. We had our first underground anime club and it went fantastically. No one talked, although some still showed up that weren't on the list. They passed our tests, though, and we hadn't exceeded our limit yet anyway, so we let them in. Of course, I made sure that they knew not to tell ANYONE about the club and approach a rumor as having no clue about it. There are a lot of people that I know would talk and disrupt the anime for everyone else, and they, simply, cannot be allowed to know about it and come. I don't care if they're having a good time, lol; the point of the club is to watch anime, not listen to music, read magazines, build models, and talk. This one girl inparticular has been bothering me about a particular "rumor" she heard, which I deny up and down, and then she would go back to her work and talk to herself.. the entire class period. Scary. *shudders*

Anyway, so I got back from school on Friday and had about an hour to pack and hang out before we left for a friend's house in Baltimore. They're actually the family of one of my dad's friends in college, but we've always been really close to the whole family, so my mom is friends with the wife, and my brother and I are friends with their two sons who are one year older than me, and one year younger than my brother, respectively. The one son actually tells me stories that his dad told him about our dads doing drugs and stuff in college. O_o So anyway, we go up to their place, though the older son is off at college, so I was somewhat more bored than I usually am. While we're there, my brother downloads Counter Strike (which my brother is ADDICTED to, but that's a story for another time) to their computer, we watch The Day After Tomorrow, and we get in the hot tub. It was pretty fun and the hot tub was sooooo refreshing, but like I said, it would have been more interesting had the other son been there, haha.

This morning, we woke up kind of early, at least in my standards, and left at around 11 to go on this tour at a nearby college called Towson University. It was a fine college, I suppose, but nothing in particular stood out that I could say I prefered over what Salisbury has to offer (the school I currently want to go to). And that's what you have to look for in colleges, in which case you'll otherwise have to judge on location and preferences. My parents admit that Salisbury has a much nicer campus anyway, so my choice hasn't shifted at all. I have another campus visit in a week to UMBC (University of Maryland in Baltimore County, or U Must Be Colored according to my parent's friends o.O). The visit should be fun, but I think I'll probably stick to Salisbury.

After visited Towson, we went to a mall in a really close city (not just close to the campus, but kinda cramped :/). After taking forever to find a parking space in a dangerous parking garrage, we finally got inside and got something to eat. When searching for an arcade, we unfortunately found that there was none, and we decided to go to a mall closer to home to play DDR, watch a movie, and go pants shopping. The DDR machine is in the movie theater, so you have to buy a ticket, and we decided to see Team America: World Police. Granted, it was a funny movie, but I was expecting more from it, honestly. The DDR went pretty good. I got a chance to video tape my feet moving, and the screen to show the arrows, all for my Psychology project on what the brain does when you're playing. In the end, we decided not to go pants shopping because my mom was too tired. I really need pants, too; I have like 2 pairs of swishy pants that are exactly the same except for the color, and I have to switch off every day. It's so ghetto. XD I need some khakis or something. After we left the mall, we went to eat at a resturaunt since it was like 7:30 by then and we were all hungry, and we stopped in at this small, new place that wasn't half bad.

And now I find myself back home. It was fun and I still have one more day in the weekend; that's why I like doing things on Friday night. Tomorrow we have a soccer game against a team we've beaten before and expect to crush if we play as hard as we did last weekend. I also have to do some major work on a painting that was supposed to be done Friday and which I'm not even halfway done with. Other than that, I'll be checking a particular thread in Otaku Lounge that I feel rather strongly about: Marijuana: Should it be Legalized???. I'll just be reading from now on for the most part, though. I've been posting some huge posts but I'm afraid of now repeating myself constantly, so I retired. I still want to know what other people feel on the subject, though, heh, so I'll be reading the thread.

That's enough for now. Until next time..
