oh, how we rock.
finally have time to recover from the two massive family gathering/parties that were being held. currently listening to that_kid's g33k sh0w. hehehe, fun stuff. :P
so i guess the non-stop party started Saturday evening when friends of my aunt and miscellaneous relatives (all of whom are much older than myself) began to filter into the house. apparently, they had all decided they were going to play mahjongg. just because they can. :P so i was expecting to see a maximum of five people come in, since mahjongg is a four player game. boy, was i ever wrong. seemed to me like someone spread some false rumor that a party was being thrown. by about 10 o'clock, the house was filled with lots of random people. i'm not sure i knew every face that i saw. there were like, two groups of mahjongg players, a karaoke group, and a group of people who just sat and watched TV.
i spent the better part of the evening in my cousin's room, watching FMA. i'm pushing him to finish the anime so i have an excuse to download the movie to my hard drive to twist and manipulate into AMVs. XD we didn't get to finish, though, because the internet seemed to be choking on something, so he went to sleep and i went back upstairs to hide in my hole from the prying eyes of my aunt and uncle's random friends. my sister and i winced at some of the karaoke singing... distracted myself by reading more fanfics.
it was then that i heard them. the voices... of small children.
i almost had a panic attack. it was very strange for me to be hearing the voices of children in the house, because it was past 12, and even though it was a saturday night, i highly doubt that most parents would still take their children around to parties at that time. and yet, there were small children in the house. i didn't wanna be caught by my aunt or uncle, so i poked my head out the door and stared, wide-eyed with horror, at my PS2. obviously it was the target. and i just had to be sure that, at the very least, my memory card and the precious files within it were safe from abuse. it was kinda hard to tell, though, so i stayed huddled at the door until i could make sure.
much to my relief, they did not play Narutimate. but to my absolute horror, they played Kingdom Hearts. this shocked me at first, and i realized that somewhere deep down i should be happy because KH is such an awesome game, but... i dunno... could've been me having some kinda super possessive... thing... over my copy of KH... so i kinda... obsessively watched them play for the first 10 some minutes, making sure nothing happened. i stopped when the kid took too long to pick between the sword, shield, and staff. decided to just go to sleep.
party part 2: lunch at someone's house. somebody's birthday.
turned out to be my cousin's 6th birthday, so off we went! yaaaaay, free food! XD we went, and i went straight to find the small cousins and hang out with them. they were playing Super Smash Bros. Melee. and for some very bizarre reason, they had started out with 99 lives. ... i arrived at life 90. we watched them for a while, wondering when the madness would end. my cousin and SSBM rival arrived when they were at about life 70. we then took over, beating each other senseless for a while. then we got bored and decided to speed the game up by killing ourselves until we were down to a life each, and then fought again.
the day was filled with lots of SSBM, actually. we played for several hours at a time, between eating and the occassional switch to the PS2 and the boxing game it offered. just before dinner, we started playing in teams. my cousin and his little sister made a killer team. they were really just... WHOA. my other cousin was watching around then and decided to play as well. he teamed up with me. it became our mission to WIN. we were obsessed. it just wasn't fair! they were such a good team! and then they were Mario and Luigi, both in green (which confused us because then they both looked like Luigi). i played as Roy, best foot forward, while my cousin switched between the characters in search of his best fit. we must have lost to the Mario bros about 15 times (grr!!). but we kept at it, refusing to stop until we won at least once.
the effort was long and consisted of a lot of shouting and rage... but we finally won!! YAAAAY!!!! the teams were Green Team: Mario + Luigi vs Red Team: Roy + Marth. oh yes. it was beautiful. after we won once we ate dinner, and then played again, just to be sure that it wasn't a fluke. we managed to win again, and we decided that we rock. XD
after that there was more karaoke singing that we sorta watched, and then we left the birthday party. rented some videos at the store and then came home. and... i am still listening to the geek show (12:10 AM now). XD i'm probably gonna go to sleep in a little while, though... it's a very funny show, though. the topics just kinda drift, and it's all good fun. am now debating whether or not i should read chapter 56 of the FMA manga, thus ending the FMA manga overdose (oh the gore! the drama! OH the madness and inhumanity of it all!!!). hmm... i shall save that enjoyment for another time.
okay, that's... about all for now. i'm still swelling with pride over today's SSBM victory. which just goes to show how much of a geek i really am. XD
yaaaaay, geeks!
