The weekend over my dad's wasn't all blah-ish, for once. I mean, I kinda feel guilty when I don't want to go over (mostly because we do diddly squat over there), but then I realize that not going will probably make my dad think my mom is trying to keep me from going, which would cause a huuuuge argument that no one really needs. x.x Yeah. I'm a twit.
We went to Lazer Quest yesterday, since they were having a "three-games-for-the-price-of-two!" deal, and I kept on getting in 4th place every time. We went a bit earlier in the afternoon, so all these little pre-teen boys were running around. And when they play, they gang up in packs. x.x Very easy if you're sniping at them from a distance (it's hard not to hit one of them like that, since they cluster so closely together), but it's doubly annoying when they all charge at you. Of course, evading them when they do that is easy, because they'll start yelling out orders to each other like they're in the marines or something. No kidding.
Kid: Alright! We're going to sneak up on THAT GIRL OVER THERE! You see the one I'm pointing to? HER! HER ON THE RAMP! YEAH! Get her!
*cue children running up platform with ululating battlecries*
Me: *flees*
Kid: *dramatic gasp!* How'd she hear us?!
No kidding. But Chris and I got our butts whupped by some forty-year-old couple who were chaperoning the kids. XD Sean kept on getting below rank 10, though, so he wasn't exactly happy for the rest of the day (of course, not that it's because he's a sore loser. Never that!).
Today is mind-numbingly cold. Like, you stand outside for forty-five minutes, and you stand a chance of getting frostbite or something. My poor father, who, although he hates the cold, refuses to wear gloves or zipper up his jacket, was out there for a half-hour defrosting the car doors with a hairdryer just so he could drop me off. I love him, but sometimes I just wanna clonk him on the head. Really! >.<

SNAKE - your daemon may be a snake. You are
intelligent, and are willing to resort to
intimidation to protect yourself or get what
you want. Unfortunately, sometimes you might
intimidate people accidentally - you are often
misunderstood. You might be good at adapting
yourself to situations and getting yourself out
of tight fixes. You are a survivor.

Quizilla Now, this one amuses me... mostly because my Chinese zodiac animal is the snake. Which reminds me that I have to tell my mom about the China Town adventure we're planning for Chinese New Year's. x.x
