Happy new year...

So far, the first thing I've done this new year is actually watch Shaolin Soccer from beginning to end. ^^;

So, let's see... nothing happened whatsoever on Sunday. At least I've finished watching Pretty Sammy TV now, so no more screwing up my sleep schedule trying to finish it.

On Monday, I woke up around 1pm, but was occupied with stuff until around 4. Picked up Patty at her house, and braved over and hour and a half of DC traffic to get to Chris's house. Since it was so late by the time we got there (6pm), we didn't go to the mall, so we spent the entire time at his house, with Ek, Tiff, and Bounma. I -finally- got to play IIDX (6th Style)... and royally suck at it. Now I want to import that... I'll probably do it at the same time DDRMAX2 PS2 comes out. Already bugging some friends in Japan about checking how much it would cost for them to buy it for me =P

We ended up staying pretty late at Chris's - I didn't get home until around 4am, and didn't get to sleep until 8... so my sleep schedule is completely screwed up. Didn't wake up until 5pm, and had to almost immediately leave with my family to go to a party of an old acquantence.

We visited the Chens, who I hadn't seen in a long time. (Jack Chen used to be my dad's coworker at GTE... at least, I think that's how we know them...) We used to see them all the time back when my dad worked at GTE, but since then, it's years apart that I see them, so it was interesting to visit them this time. They were in a new house - the past two visits, they were in different houses - and it was easily double the size of our house. Even the property made it resemble a small mansion.

I only stopped in for a short time, but at least I got to see Victoria. Though she's 2 years younger than me, we used to talk a lot, but hardly ever get the chance these days. The last time I saw her was back when the big ice storm took our power out for a week - we had to stay at their place at the tail end of that week since our house was quickly becoming inhospitable. It was really nice seeing her again. Though I keep forgetting that I have her IM in my always-full buddy list ^^;

Left at around 8:30, and made my way over to Dave's. What started as a small, cozy little gathering turned into a 14 or so person party ^^; Played Bomberman, PPP, DDRMAX, watched Adult Swim (which completely screwed up the announcement of the new year - they were in the middle of a commercial for Scooby Snacks when the ball dropped), played a little more DDR, and watched Shaolin Soccer, as I mentioned before. It was a nice gathering of people - Angie, her friend, Josh, and Sarah (?) were there when I arrived, then Meridell and Isa (big coincedence) arrived together, then came the big troop of Jeff (Auld), Matt (carpy), Kevyn (Fireye), and Karyn (TougaNoMiko) came... then, one last person, Matt (Zeiram) came. So, a pretty niced size gathering ^^;

Right now, Dave and Angie's friend went to sleep in his bedroom, while I am typing this entry on his computer, and Angie is on the couch murdering the Rubic's cube. I really need to finish this entry, since I have to work at 10am tomorrow, and stay until 6:30 - basically, an open to close shift. -_- So yeah... it's a really bad time to have a screwed up sleep schedule...
