I&#8217;ve been sitting in front of the computer screen for an hour, shifting through my webcomics and my friend entries and stuff. I did work on my program for my Comp Sci class, though, which is more work than I had planned to do tonight. So I guess that puts me in the clear.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll blog about what I did this weekend. It was jam-packed full of things.<br \/>\nFriday, a lot of people headed down to the Boardwalk. I faced off with my friend Steven, from College 8 &#8211; I don&#8217;t know him too well besides through playing DDR, but he&#8217;s in my math class, so we greet each other often, at least. A few of my friends from the women&#8217;s hall hung out there too &#8211; Saku is getting quite good at Percussion Freaks and Oniko at Dance Maniax. There&#8217;s also Otis, who&#8217;s from Porter, and uh, damn, I forgot his name, but he&#8217;s from Crown. Both of them are high 9-footers. I&#8217;ll probably be playing more often with them. There&#8217;s also Alex from Cabrillo, the community college &#8211; we played the Paranoia Brothers MAX2 oni, and boy did that hurt. I got a good night&#8217;s sleep after doing that.<br \/>\nNext, uh, afternoon, after lunch, I&#8230; wait, I didn&#8217;t do much. Yeah, I played FFXI.<br \/>\nFriday night, though, I was invited by a friend from Wilderness Orientation (a Sierra trip I had gone on before school started) to go to a &#8220;dinner party&#8221; at his house. So I boarded the bus with a few other WO people, and all of a sudden, we were in the middle of a frat party. Or at least, a whole busload of rowdy, drunk college &#8220;students.&#8221; It was quite an experience. Well, it was entertaining until a brawl broke out and people started throwing up all over the bus.<br \/>\nAfter cussing out the bus driver for some odd reason, the frat party got off the bus, and we continued to our destination.<br \/>\nOnce we got there, we were greeted by our host, and offered some beer or wine. Since he had nothing else, I poured myself a glass and just munched on some grapes and cheese, and played some cards to wait for a few more people to arrive. People started to file in &#8211; people I had never seen before. Sooner or later, the place was packed with everyone BUT people from WO, and there was no dinner food to be found.<br \/>\nAs soon as I couldn&#8217;t really move anymore, I decided to leave. I had had only two glasses of wine, but I was dizzy. It&#8217;s either I&#8217;m a lightweight, or that wine was <i>really<\/i> cheap.<br \/>\nAt least it was an experience. I&#8217;ve really never been to a college party. First time for everything. I didn&#8217;t have any dinner, though. Eh.<br \/>\nBut today was TEH EVENT: the UCSC 3rd annual Tetris tournament. YES. I&#8217;ve got Tetris on my Pocket PC and I play it all the time. So why wouldn&#8217;t I sign up?<br \/>\nAbout 30 people had signed up to play, so we were split into 8 groups and played round-robin within the groups. The winners went onto quarter-finals, then semi-finals, then finals, then the FINAL BATTLE.<br \/>\nThere weren&#8217;t Tetris arcade machines there, or Nintendos, or whatever &#8211; instead, there were four computers set up with the ZSNES emulator, running Tetris Battle Gaiden, some weird Japanese version with a CHARACTER SELECT. That can&#8217;t be good.<br \/>\nWhat it meant was that each character has their own special moves &#8211; and when pulled off at the opportune moment, they can seriously screw up their opponent. No one wishes it was so. I&#8217;d so rock everyone if it was normal Tetris, but with this new angle, it was greatly based on luck&#8230; and I only made it to the semi-finals. Meh. I guess it would have taken too long if it was just a regular game of Tetris. I can play for quite an amount of time.<br \/>\nThat was my weekend. Fun times. Did new stuff. Hung with new people. Wouldn&#8217;t mind if all weekends were like this.<br \/>\nOh and my roommate was out of town so I could sleep NAKED. Yeah, that&#8217;s right. You GET that mental image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cady: heya Me: Yoyo. Cady: heya Me: Yoyo. Cady: heya Me: Yoyo. Cady: heya Me: Yoyo. Cady: heya Me: Yoyo.
