Yep, just now getting back to the comp after a pretty crazy few days. I guess I'll run by this really quick...

Friday: Club. DDR. Tomo passing a bunch of Onis. Me failing a bunch of Onis.

Saturday: Class - final skit. The skit between me and Natheer went well - it was short, so we didn't mess up the lines, and some non-scripted actions went well with the class (Natheer getting pegged by chalk from Mike, who we grabbed as our last-minute "sensei", and our drunken rave-like actions when we started theh music). The longer skit didn't go so well, since I screwed up virtually all of my lines. It was expected since I had 50% of the total lines in a 4 person, 3 minute long skit. Still pretty bad. I should have hid a copy of the script to read from.

After all the skits were over, Cristina's mom actually entered the classroom, for the sole purpose of eating food. (Don't ask.) I happened to have all my DDR stuff from club, so I ended up bringing that in, and we played a bit, though softly since there were actually final exams being done in the basement level. After that, I headed to work hours from hell...

... but first, since I had gotten out of class early (around 2:10), I ended up going to Chris's house to drop off my stuff. Chris ordered a pizza upon my arrival, which ended up in me staying for a little nap (which I never got) and a couple slices of pizza, the first food I had for the day. The house was also ungodly hot - apparently, Tiff likes to turn the heat way up. ^^; Not that I wasn't uncomfortable - I'm much more comfortable in heat than cold - but it was rather unusual to have a room temp close to 85 degrees when it's 40-50 outside. ^^; Ended up going to work at around 3:45...

Yep. Work is hell. Started early since they seemed to need the help, only to be forced to take my only break of the evening 10 minutes later. This meant I would not be able to leave the store for the entire night, even for food. This succeeded in annoying me for most of the evening. Got written up because some little kid overheard me muttering "shit" under my breath, and the mother complained quite verbally to Calvin about it. It wasn't directed toward the kid, but bringing up $35 worth of stuff, then forcing me to void it all out because she only had $5 was kinda retarded.

Finally got out at around 12:45, and rushed down to Chris's, where everyone was still awake, except for Shiene (which I had bought a present for, as she was my Secret Santa person type thingy) and Clara. Patty and Josh were there, too - I think they were playing Silent Hill when I walked in. I found out what my present was - two varieties of cheeses - Monterey Jack and Pepperjack. Naturally, I had to refuse the gift since I'm somewhat lactose intolerant (and I also just plain don't like cheese), so I walked away with nothing. I hope Shiene didn't already have a dog Gir plushie ^^;

IIDX hadn't arrived on schedule, so none of that. We did actually get to linkplay Wangan Midnight Racing and Time Crisis 2, which was really fun. Also did a bunch of Silent Hill playing... damn weird game.

I fell asleep at some point after 4pm as they were playing Time Crisis 2... I think ^^; I was on the floor, with no blanket, in the middle of the night, and apparently it was cold, in contrast to the summer-like temperatures of earlier. I ended up cuddling with Patty under her blanket since I was freezing, and I had no pillow ^^;

Woke up very late - around 2pm - and kept going back to sleep until around 3 or so. Most of the people had left by then - Ek and David were still in the basement, working on getting AAAs on all of DDRMAX and DDRMAX2 on Stepmania. o.O People also went to go pick up a new SNK MVS cabinet from Game Time. It had a busted-up tube, but it was a lot better than their existing MVS cabinet. Chris said they'd probably convert the existing one into Capcom hardware... though I question how well they could swap games with the CPS-2/3 encryptions.

We also spent a lot of time doing the single-player mission mode in Wangan Midnight, and the end result of hours and hours of play was... one car. We only unlocked one car, and never got the chance to use it - furthermore, it seemed to be exactly identical to another car we already had. We have some funny replay videos of a few of the missions, though ^^ I had gotten up to Mission 3 before, and it took almost 50 tries for Kevin to finally make it - the requirement was to finish the entire course at a speed of 300 km/h or more - twice, we came in at 299 ^^; The rest of the missions were no problem, up to Mission 9 - an 18 km course where you could not allow the opponent to pass you, or you fail instantly. -_- Kevin gave up, but I finally beat that, and, after a lot of practice, conquered the final Mission 10 - where I had to take the S30Z (referred to as the "devil Z" by Chris) against the Black Bird (the other "devil" car) and simply beat it - without touching any walls. Apparently, head-on collisions with other vehicles was fine, but touching a wall meant instant failure. Had to analyze how to take the big turns to finally beat him - though it was 10 tries before we could PASS him, since the Black Bird was a faster car and it started in the lead.

After that, I promptly went to sleep. ^^;

Kept getting woken up by Chris and Patty, until kinda waking up around 10pm, since Josh had work in the early morning and we had to get him home. We ended up taking Clara with us, going to Mike's house to pick up Hanna, and taking them back to the Pak residence. After that, dropped Josh off at home, and dropped Patty off. I spent most of that night thinking a lot about what happened after dropping Josh off... I'll write about that some other time.

Monday and today: more work. Yay. Slept in, went to work at 3:30 on Monday, got out at 12:15 or so, and went home. My next shift started at 7am (ugh), so I tried to sleep but didn't actually fall asleep until around 4am. The alarm was set to 6am, but I slept through it for an hour, and ended up waking up at 7:15. The alarm had been trying to wake me up the whole time -_- Called in to explain that I'd be coming late, and rushed to work, incredibly sleepy. Wasn't the only one, and it looks like it wasn't really a big deal. The mall was very empty, and there weren't going to be any opening tasks until 9am. I was even able to leave and grab breakfast from Burger King. Worked until 1pm, promptly took my leave, and went home.

I just tried signing up for my classes - I need to visit some departments to override me for courses that the system won't let me enter automatically, but for the most part, I'm done picking what I want to take this coming semester. It's actually going to be a busy semester this time, so no more free time. Now, Christmas is coming, I don't know if relatives are coming, and... it's snowing. I don't remember hearing anywhere that it was going to snow. Oh well... I need sleep now ^^;
