Damn Good Cherry Pie...

I just watched the first season of Twin Peaks. And I really want to see the rest. Aparrently it gets much more confusing in the later episodes, and the episode guide I tried to read left me with even more confusion that I had before o_o; Ah well. With any luck, whoever it is that holds the rights to the DVDs will release Season 2 before long. They've been a really long time about it so far, much to the annoyance of all the fans.

And now, continuing the trend of me ranting about subjects people have chosen for me, I give you some of Mimmi's topics ^_^

Solo On: Bowling
I don't go bowling very often. In fact, I hardly do it at all. But whenever I do, it always seems to be with friends.

There's a new Bowlplex thingummy opened up in Chichester, for all your bowling and pool-playing needs. They have these fantastic little bacon-flavoured crisps called Snax. They might even be more addictive than Pringles, and that's saying something. They come in a fairly large cardboard box and you do get a lot for your money. Which is alright, I suppose. NUS cards (National Union of Students) get you a discount for the actuall alleys, which is a nice addition to the surroundings.

The shoes feel new whenever you slip them onto you feet. and there's always space at the end of them. A friend of mine once nicked a pair from the Chichester alley, and he wears them around town. They're pretty cool, but I wouldn't want them all the tiome. They're a litle garish, and they don't give a lot of support. But they aren't really meant for wearing over long periods of time.

Ten-pin bolwing alleys feel, quite naturally, very American. There's nothing wrong with that- it's just something that springs to mind. All of the ones I've been to are very polished, and often have very large paintings of bolwing pins on the back wall. Presumably that's to show you in which direction you're meant to throw the ball, or something.

I've never been fantastic at bowling. I'd often beat any friends I played with at least once in a day, but recently I've not done as well as I did. Maybe these guys have more experience than I do *shrugs*. Or maybe I'm just conscious of the fact that I'm not doing so well.

Anyway, the odd thing is that when the safety sides are up, my throws travel nowhere near the gutter. Put the guards down and they're in there quick as a flash. It must be a psychological thing, unless it's pure coincidence that my crap throws always tie in with when there are no sides.

The bowling trip I can remember most was when I went up to Sutton to meet the first person I'd ever had a huge crush on. It might have been more than that; I couldn't tell you,a nd even if I could I don't really feel like talking about it much now. Some other time, maybe...

She and I played two games, and I won both. Then we played air hockey and table-tennis. There was this group of girls standing around near the back wall of the arcade where the table-tennis was, and the ball kept flying off into the middle of their group. We couldn't stop laughing, but they looked incredibly pissed off. After a while, we left, not wishing to engage in ping-pong related hostilities.

Otherwise, my trips have mostly been for other people's birthday parties. Every now and then I use the metal ramp things used for really young kids to try and get a decent aim, usually when I'm losing pretty badly ^_^; There's no shame in that. Were I leading, it'd be controversial.

If I had the chance to do it more often, I would. There should be at least once this year where I get another opportunity, though ^_~

Topics left to discuss:
-Books
-Writing
-My House
-Another one of my own choice, heh. I don't know if I'll be able to get them done before Holland. I'd like to, but meh. We'll have to see...

...do let me know if I'm being boring and/or offensive, won't you? I'd hate it if I upset anyone. Not that I expect bowling would cause copious amounts of dissent, but you never know.
