*eats the left mushroom*
These past few days have been rather interesting, in The Land of the Real Land of OtakuSennen.

As many of you know, I am not exactly a social person. Most of the time, when people talk to me, I just listen to what they say and give little feedback. And so, because of this, I have not exactly been too accepted among peers. Actually, most of my classmates have always been kind to me. They.. Persist in trying to get me to get out of my proverbial shell, but have never really succeeded.

But recently, for some reason, I have been much better with this lately. I talk more (mostly when they address me first still), nowadays, for longer periods of time, and it doesn't feel nearly as awkward as before. I even got the screen names of two or three more classmates today, which I thought was rather surprising.

On Friday afternoon I ended up going over to my friend Ethan's house.. A "friend" of mine and many of her friends (along with her sister) have been ranting on and on about this really interesting tunnel they had found a week or two back. And, by some stroke of luck, we "ended up" heading over to her house, and they were gathering their things for a tunnel-exploring session. After two or three hours of trying to break into their house they decided to open the door, and we tagged along.

After a short walk through the desert near their street, we ended up walking into a very dark, man-made tunnel that ran right under two high-traffic streets, two commercial shopping squares, and ended up by our former K-Mart a mile away. Getting through the tunnel the first time was rather boring (Except for poking one of the girls with a stick from a distance and freaking her out), but getting back was more interesting. The flashlight's batteries went dead, and I apparently got "lost" from the group.. Yeah. They ditched me. >_> It wasn't bad, though. The tunnel was reminiscent of Resident Evil.

We've been doing football in Phys Ed for the past week or so. I'm on a team with one guy that's really good, a girl who's a good quarterback who has gotten God knows how many interceptions and touchdowns from running it in, and a few of my friends who can't play for crap. Surprisingly enough, I do rather well. I've made two to three touchdowns per game, plus many, many catches. Today I ended up saving the football from a fumble on the fourth down one-handed with a scary fat dude blocking me.. I almost got crushed when he tripped on his baggy pants.

People are saying I should play in a league, or something to that extent, but I would rather not. I'm not aggressive enough to play with people who actually tackle in football, and I'm not one for voluntary physical activity anyway.

..And that's about it. I'm having a good week, with no homework tonight, and I just had a breakthrough in Kingdom Hearts.

I'm done now. If anybody wants to make a suggestion about for my next myOtaku post, feel free to do so.
