O_O
I've been having a lot of busy weekends lately, but this past one takes the cake. I was home for about.. six hours from when I got home on Friday until I went to bed on Sunday. Talk about on the ball. o.o

Friday afternoon, I got home from school and finished watching The Green Mile which I started the night before, and then left to go to my friend, David's house. The plan was to pracitice soccer by kicking a ball around, but in all honesty we spent more time playing basketball than anything else. I don't get a chance to play basketball often, due to the fact that I'm no longer on a recreational team, I don't take gym, and my hoop has fallen so many times that it's really hopeless to get a good experience out of it anymore, so I didn't mind too much. We played Knock-out as well as 2-on-2, which I of course dominated, until around 6 pm. Another kid that came over left when we said that we were going to be practicing soccer, since he had been practicing for the school team after school and was tired of it. I got my stuff on and we kicked the ball around for a while until it got too dark to see anything, and I ended up coming in, having dinner, and eventually simply staying the night. He burned me a Sublime CD, which I'm actually listening to right now, and we played video games for a while, namely Crazy Taxi. The next morning, I left around noon, got home, and was back out the door at 2.

My next destination would be my old neighborhood, 45 minutes away and my first time driving by there by myself. The drive went suprisingly well, and I got to my friend, Wesley's house at around 2:50. I hadn't been to his house since.. the summer time, I'd say, and I couldn't have been more shocked at the difference, lol. They had been working on the house when I stayed the night last time, and between then and now they had added an addition to the basement, which became my friend's room. And quite an awesome room, too, I might add, with a slight Japanese coating. There was his $1,000 katana, his wooden sword, the ninja stars, throwing knives, scatterred NewType magazines, different animes, video game systems, a guidebook on Japan, his awesme stereo set-up, collectable action figures set up around his room both in and out of packages, his computer area under a top bunk of a bunk bed, signed girl and car posters everywhere.. the list goes on. What I do know is that it made me realize just how plain my room is.

When I first got there, nothing was really happening, so he had me chill for a while, and I went out and swung the katana around in the backyard. Not too long after, we drove down to Giant and stocked up on snacks like a couple pizzas, extra cheese, some buns, more cheese, solami, about about four bottles of soda. We went back to his house and chilled a while longer, and then when one of his friends got there, we all set out to drive down to some dude's apartment to pick some people up. The kid who lives there would have come with us, but he was on house arrest for.. drug possession from what I picked up. o.o; It's a good thing he didn't come, though, lol, because with the other two people we picked up, that filled up the car.

So we came back and had some of his mom's chilli, which was really good I might add, and one of the people we picked up, an old friend of mine, James, walked back to his house to eat, since he didn't like chilli. He ended up coming back later while we were watching American Weding, but I never even noticed him until he had been there a while, lol. This other kid showed up at his house, too, which made six total, including me. SO yeah, we hung out in my friend's room for a while, then went on a walk, came back, watched some anime, and fell asleep. The next morning I was on driving duty again, and literally almost got lost dropping a couple people off, despite growing up for 11 years in the area, but I managed to find my way back. ^_^ And when I did get back, it was just me and Wes, and he had cooked up one of the pizzas, of which I ate half. More chilling, and another good friend of mine in the area came over, and we watched some anime, playing games, and talked. He wasn't there for too long before we left to go to James' house, which was right up the street, and we played TimeSplitters 3 there for about an hour, then ate some cup noodles, and watched a little anime before my mom called the cell phone she had given me and asked me to come home. I let my friends borrow some of the anime, namely FLCL and the Kenshin movies, then I dropped off Wesley and headed on home.

I got back around 5:30 pm, but then we left again at 6 to some party at a kid's house who was on my soccer team before that I don't even remember. So we ate dinner there, played some cards, and left at around 7:30. By this time, of course, I was completely exhausted from the entire weekend, and I checked a few things online before going to sleep for the night.

What a weekend. =_=
