Went to visit Rhia-chan yesterday. Hadn't seen her in, like, forever. It was a nice walk from the metro station to her place, except where I misremembered the address and turned around maybe four houses before hers. She could have stood on her balcony and see me backtrack!
So much hilarity was had about that. Much talking each other's head off too. Talked about how I was famous at her school (I asked her whether I was famous for being the "boy she knows with Asperger's who's studying at uni" or "boy she knows who's compeltely crazy"), and really all sorts of random stuff. We dropped by the bookshop so she could buy me a birthday gift (my birthday is next Tuesday, September 15 *wink wink nudge nudge*), then we looked around fro a movie she wanted to buy (this one was amusing because she was totally looking it under the wrong letter XD), and she ended up deciding it'd be simpler to order it off Amazon.
We came back and had a lengthy argument about how much Livejournal and Facebook were so much fundamentally different (I think they take primarily very different means to similar ends, Rhia says they have nothing in common). There were also amusing remarks about aspects of my technological illiteracy. I'm actually scared by advanced cell phones, and I don't really care for Twitter and the aforementioned Facebook. Even thought I supposedly could get all the status updates on Rhia, it feels like it would just cheapen the experience when we actually get to meet face to face and talk.
I got to play DDR. Although I failed epicly last time I went to the arcade (GOD I'm out of shape!), I did pretty good at home, and not as bad as I expected on the home mat (I have a slightly padded version myself, which for known reason, I haven't used in a while, I might lend it to her, now that I think of it...). Then we did some Mario Kart, and I definitely failed epically at it. Y'see, the last race game I actually played was on the original NES, so the whole steering wheel controller of the Wii? not very good for me XD. I was CONSTANTLY shoving myself off track. Rhia said R (her boyfriend) was not good, but he TOTALLY trounced me. Also, a nice touch was that she had already made a wee for me ^__^ Then we played some rock band. I started with the battery. Primarily because Rhia "did NOT want to hear me at the mic", and I did NOT trust me at the guitar. I did fairly good at easy (She says the learning curve for DDR fans at the battery is pretty smooth), but messed up at medium (admittedly we were pretty far in the song list by that time XD). I also tried the mic, but did not do so good (I managed a two-phrases streak max :p). I did much betters on those songs I knew the lyrics (or had listened to said lyrics when Rhia was singing), though.
Then there was dinner in the form of hamburgers and some more talking. I left with my book and a selection of games. Y'see I've played out those games I had (except Brain Age, but it's not too much fun, honestly), and couldn't be bothered to buy new ones. Also I can finally play KH: Chain of Memories! I did not even know the DS could use GBA games. I was scared of touching that latch XD
