right so tuesday i went to mulligans and when i started to type up a blog i got too tired, so i'll talk about it today...
we were allowed through our school to pay $15 and have unlimited access to the arcade (minus the ones that give out tickets or prizes), the mini golf, the go-karts, laser tag, and batting cage... this was quite a good deal since each activity (except the arcade) costs about $6 each time...
when i first got there i went straight to the ddr machines (oh what a surprise xD) and mike and joe and michael and willis and jonah and charles and edwin were there playing... and joe was like "come on, play, you promised" so i thought i may as well and i got up there and thought "oh no, they're all watching me" but as the arrows started coming i kind of forgot about it and started dancing until...
i kept missing everything!
why? well i'm used to using my ignition pad, and i haven't used a metal pad before. thus when i tried, i didn't realize i had to put so much weight on it for it to work ^^; mike and joe said that there was something wrong with it anyway because they had played metal pads that weren't as um.. unresponsive. haha.... but this was the first time anyone at school had seen me play ddr and mike and joe were so shocked that i actually *did* play that joe gave me a kind of pat on the shoulder and mike gave me a hug. lol.
well after that i found marinelle and we went to the gokarts together. it was my first time ever riding them so it was really fun ^_^ and i didn't crash into anyone (or the walls) XD;; lol we went on it like 6 times in a row (which was good because after about noon there was a HUGE line)
after go-karts i tried playing ddr against marinelle and we both failed... badly. lol. there's only like 2 people at CAMS who are actually used to using a metal pad. but it seemed like mike and joe and edwin got used to it pretty quickly. i told my sister about it and she's like "it's because you're so thin" haha. no way.
then after that i played tekken 3 and initial D version 2 against xuemin and marinelle and huong and julien (we all took turns)... marinelle had lots of fun being mokujin lol. marinelle + mokujin is like an unbeatable pair lol. she beat ALL of us, not to mention most of the computer controlled characters... so fun. lol. huong is really good at initial D. i bet she'll be a good driver because she almost never crashed, unlike the rest of us *cough cough*
we lost interest in tekken and initial D, and a game called Pump It Up caught my eye. it's like the korean version of DDR, and instead of buttons up, down, left, and right, there are 5 buttons - one in the middle and one on each corner. i was surprised to find that i actually knew some of the bands/artists on there (boa, one-two, sechskies, H.O.T., etc.) so i decided to try it.. and... well i was ok i guess for a first time. i passed with about a B or A average on Normal Level and a C on Hard Level. but compared to the ddr/piu freak who came, i was so~~~ bad lol. mike saw me and decided to try too, and we both failed (but hey, it had a fast bpm... for us) and he was like "ok, we both suck" but it was cool because as he said "it's always easier when there's someone else who's awful at something with you" or whatever. lol. he really liked the music, especially banya channel. so we both downloaded PIU simulators to get the simfiles x]
there were actually 2 ddr/piu freaks there that day.
the first guy... omg i was so embarrassed. he had been playing on PIU for a while, doing the two hardest levesl (nightmare and um... something else lol) and i was watching him do turns and passing with A's and what not, but while he was doing that i had been struggling with the DDR machines. so when he was done with PIU, he came to the DDR machine and was like "hey can i try it?" so i got off and he went on and played double heavy mode on all these songs with huge bpms... so crazy. i turned bright red because to him i probably looked like such a bad ddr player lol. but i sat there and watched him because i was so amazed at his skill level... hehe.
well after that we met up with joe and everyone, and they said they were going to go play mini-golf and wanted to know if we wanted to play also. so we decided to go with them but there were too many people to go in one group, so we split up into groups of four. i was with mike, edwin, and charles. hahaha.. i got "pwned" (well they didn't say that but i did... lol) but anyway, at first we all sucked at it (although mike claims i was good at it) and then after they got better and i got worse haha. well i lost by about 7 points, but even if i did it was so much FUN~ and for some reason whenever i hit it i always hit mike's ball and he thought it was creepy and charles wanted to know how i did it so that he could do it also lol. at the end, mike won, edwin was second, and charles was third.
hmmm after that... went over to the ddr machines again and i tried heavy and got about half-way through but then i couldn't keep trying so hard so i just let mike sub in for me xD;; we played more pump it up... haha, very fun. the boa song is really easy. i could even get a B on hard level o_o;
then it was getting close to dinner so i found xuemin, huong, and julien and we split a large pizza. however... we all only had like one or two slices each, and we had three pieces left over! o_o; lol, we all shared a soda too, since it was unlimited refils and we had multiple straws x]
so by the time we finished dinner, it was around 7, and everything i wanted to do was too crowded xD; so i just hung out with mike and watched people ddr and pump it up... so crazy lol. very fun. then i went to go find edwin so that mike could get his drink from the car and when i did he was playing some shooting game... mike came back and tried it, and he got an ok score, then they challenged me to try and... omg i have no aim whatsoever!! it was funny... XD;
hung out for a little bit, then we went to go watch joe, charles, willis, and jonah play minigolf again. jonah got a total score 21 on a 27 par o_o
then they all decided they wanted to go laser tag, and tried to convince me to go with them but there was already an even number of people and i didn't want to make it uneven... by the time they got in it was around 8:45, and 10 minutes later my mom came to take me home, so i guess it was good i didn't go. XD
i'm really glad i went.. for that $15, i probably did around $80 worth of stuff o_O;;
haha i should go again sometime...

p.s. my old l'arc~en~ciel/hyde obsession is coming back. i love hyde's voice... haha. and to think, it all came back simply because i played fourth avenue cafe on dwi... X33333
