Screaming is better.

Comment Commentary

Azure- A few people from school had seen most of this stuff already anyway.. I didn't promote mine much at the meeting. It didn't have a poster board, so it didn't get much fanfare.

But I can tell you right now that I did more work on this than anyone else did on theirs (though it wasn't intended to be for the project).

Tony- *random conversation reply* How are the extra features?

Godel- I don't remember the last time my art teacher made us do anything.. The people at my table literally haven't done shit all year. Last semester he gave them A's with "satisfactory" citizenship.

Solo- I don't care about the color in the Crazy 88 scene.. But they still have more than us, as well as a cool cover (if I'm remembering it correctly), so I'll still be holding out.

Shin- Well, they're not fatasses. I was just making fun of my friends who, in reality, are quite skinny.

But that doesn't explain why we always got stuck hitting the rapids first.

So.. Today.

We did our first "promotion" recital today, which means we went through that stupid little faux-graduation ceremony for three periods. All of my friends ended up playing some part in the ceremony- be it master of ceremonies or just reading a poem- but I wasn't assigned anything.

And I'm fine with that. I really don't want to stand up in front of those people and do something that staged and impersonal.

But for some odd reason, the teachers running it still want me in the front row. Maybe it's so I can sex everything up.

Other than that, we're not doing anything in school. I did the math we were supposed to do today a week ahead of time, so I just kind of sat there the entire time.. Then we compared handwriting in art. Phys Ed we just stood there.

Only.. Five more days and I'm out of there. Then a week. Then summer school.

After school I went to an old friend's house, made amends, and bonded oncemore over a Halo 2 LAN party. There were ten of us there, total, on three TVs, and though I watched more than I pwned, it was still enjoyable.

I guess you could call it my first larger-scale gaming.. Gathering? I dunno, but that was my first LAN party, and it was as I expected: A bunch of nerdy guys high-fiving each other while throwing cans of coke onto the pile.

And what a pile it was. There was a mountain of used cans. It was kind of scary, actually. Like it could devour you at any moment.

We were there until about nine. Nobody came to pick us up, since nobody loves us. Angst.

I've been playing a lot of Soul Calibur II recently
.. On hard mode, you see, since normal is boring. I don't know why. I should be practicing Melee more, since I challenged Shin at AX, and I tried, but it seemed incredibly dull to me. I don't know why.. Hopefully the new Smash Bros. for Revolution will rekindle the flame.

What will I be doing this weekend? Well, I intend on seeing Batman Begins, and having a couple of friends over for the sake of Guild Wars, Half-Life and whatever the hell else we feel like playing. Also, I'd like to sleep. A lot.
