:)
Well, some of you may have noticed that I haven't been online much lately, and you know what that means. Lots of interesting things to write about on my myOtaku!

I had quite a weekend this past.. weekend. Other than on Sunday night, I didn't sleep in my own bed at all, and have been spending more time with some of my offline friends. Friday afternoon, after careful arranging, I picked up a friend that's in my History class at his house at around 4. He's been on my soccer team once or twice in the past, and over this year we've become pretty good friends in 7th period, since he sits like right in front of me, and we share similar.. interests in women. ;p So he came over, and we spent the night in the basement playing video games, watching TV, watching movies, throwing stuff at my brother, looking at yearbooks, and going online. So he stayed the night, and I drove him back home at around noon. Fun fun.

After he left, I got online for a while only to be IMed by a friend of mine who's actually in my more distinguished group of friends, and he invited me to a small party at his house with some other friends of ours -- the self-proclaimed anime club of our school. :p So at around 5:15, I drove over to his house, and was actually the first one there, so I practiced on DDR Max 2 while we waited for other people. Two more people were to show up at my friend Joe's house; Rob, Joe's best friend and the person that usually sets up the equipment at anime club, and Art, president of anime club and undoubtedly the coolest person in school for his obnoxious humor and his ability to converse with just about anyone. So we started off the night by playing some DDR, and then played a little N64. For dinner, his mom made a ton of french fries, this spicey chicken stuff, and really good, but not quite perfect, mozzarella sticks. I had a Dr. Pepper to wash it all down, which easily added up to at least 6 by the end of the night. After that, we played some GameCube games like Ultimate Muscle and Double Dash, and then we played all of these NES and SNES games off a burned disk on Art's modded PlayStation, which was totally awesome. When two people were playing a game, we played a little pool while we waited, and when we just got too tired to do anything else, we watched Berserk until we fell asleep. The next morning we woke up and ate pancakes and bacon, and then spent half the time looking for Rob's memory card, which turned out to be on the couch that he had checked first. lol

When I got home on Sunday, I realized how much fun I had had playing DDR, and started pricing out the game and pads online. In the end, however, I just called up Walmart (the closest store that sells video games) and they had DDR Max 2 with one pad, so I drove down and bought it. I would have liked to get DDR Max 1, since my friends had described the difference between 1 and 2 being Japanese songs and Eurpean songs, but I'm an impacient bastard. When I got home, however, the pad worked fine, but the disk kept reading "Disk Error". So I tried Need For Speed: Underground, and that worked fine, so I ended up going back and getting a new game. But low and behold.. I got an error for that too! By then I was extremely pissed off, and in an effort to prove that the disk was fine, I tried some of my older games, and got the same error. So I opened up my PlayStation 2 (I had already had to do this once before because of an error with DVDs), and cleaned out the dust and shifted a few parts noted on a past episode of.. X-Play, I think, until the disk finally worked. And then I was in DDR heaven for the rest of the night. ~_^

Then today, although I got done with my graded homework at around 3:35, I had an architectural drawing due tommorrow in art that I was working on until around 9, factoring in dinner, a nap, and some TV, of course. Still.. that thing is taking me forever. I wasn't able to play any DDR tonight. :/

Maybe this will explain where I've been hiding lately, heh.
