Catching Up
Long entry, ahoy.
I've been missing most everything that's been happening online the past few days so I'm trying to catch up. I think I've come to the conclusion that NVLM_ZK is still a lazy tool, Lara is apparently awesome, Mason and Connie still rock, most people are enjoying 10,000 Days, people who run gigantournaments that aren't named Josh suck, and I need to buy a PS2.
I can get a used PS2 for about $100, a swap disk for about $30. I'll need to either buy a new arcade stick or spend another couple of bucks on a MagicBox, and then I pretty much don't have to spend money on it ever again. HD Loader also sounds awesome because I have hard drives all over the place. If I can get my mom to buy the PS2 as a late birthday present (birthday was at the end of March, but I didn't get anything besides my arcade stick) then it'll be $100 easier for me to build a new PC.
I've been seeing Karen not quite as much as I'd like, but this is already so much better than being at Clemson. I accidentally double-booked myself last night to see a musical with her tonight when I told Justin a few days ago I'd be going to his graduation. I almost immediately turned around and told DF2K about said graduation and it still didn't occur to me that I had double booked myself. I'm incredible.
Ruzy took me out to dinner at Denny's (:Dshakes) after spending some time here learning how to play Guilty Gear from me. Since DF2K is coming down I'm sure there will be much more GG going on in the not too distant future. It was a good night, followed by sleeping too late and going to the mall the next day. I've missed Ruzy a lot, I'm glad he's coming back to Clemson.
I bought 10,000 Days even though I had already downloaded it (take that, RIAA) because of the packaging. Way to be on sale for $15.
Yesterday I went to see Justin and play some Guilty Gear Slash (fueling my desire for a PS2) and King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2. After knocking each other around for awhile we headed to Broadway Louie's. I'm still decent at DDR, but my scores make even less sense than they used to. I got 2 greats on Stoic before the jumps (wtf?) and got 1 in the jumps (this part is actually easier for me) and then 5 in the last 16th note run and slipped and got one on the Stoic stomp. Way to improve from 4 to.... 9. Shit. Then I got 31 and a (legit) miss on Cutie Chaser. The pad did not agree with how lightly I was stepping on LoM and I got a B. It was just all kinds of sad and pathetic. Justin worked on the ITG2 "dedicab" and got it working a lot better, but it still seems like a piece. I was exhausted after three six song sets of DDR (back-to-back-to-back). I suppose that's not bad for me, but I'm just not happy with where my stamina is anymore.
WE LEFT! And saw this car:
I was hungry and for some reason very much wanting to get wings. Justin hopped in Watermelon Car II to navigate and we eventually wound up at Ron Jon's, where I got BBQ wings and had a great talk with him (Justin, not BBQ wings). It was a pretty great night and I'm glad I got to have a bunch of SGX.
I love TSSF. It's always nice to be reminded why we made this team and the fact that it has barely anything to do with DDR at all. Ruzy and SGX are two of my best friends. I don't see them nearly often enough, but I very much enjoy their company and I can only hope that I've helped them with as much stuff as they've helped me with. I love these guys. Seriously. DF2K and Ftahdr today = five Sticks in Myrtle Beach :D. Good times.
I love Karen. She makes being back home worth it. It's so easy for me to just drop all my rage with just a glance at her. Hopefully I'll be able to catch her after the musical tonight. :X
I need to unpack from school. I need to delete a lot of pics from my camera and organize a bunch of stuff. I also need to not make the worst grades I've ever had last semester. WHOOPS.
I'm 21 and don't start work for another week and a half. Apparently my bitchy mom and asshole step-dad think I need a bedtime of midnight. Like I said, Karen is what makes it worth it. My entire family dynamic is based on everyone but my brother and I overreacting and making stupid, irrational decisions based on nothing but stupid, irrational emotions or other non-sense.
My grandfathers aren't doing well. Apparently, nobody is expecting them to be around in another couple of months.
