12/15/15

Jen described it as a holiday party. Where everyone comes for food and drink and general merriment. Conversations break off into different corners. Kids play with their toys. And people slowly start to head home. The little one falls asleep on someone else. And the big kids keep playing until bedtime.

Lots of people came over yesterday, including Paul who cannot stop spoiling our apartment and brought us brownies. We all played lots of Mario Kart, and then some Mario Party 7. Friendships were only made stronger haha. Then Paul made me start Chibi-Robo which is insanely Japanese but really cute and fun. Dunno when I'll get a chance to pick it up again but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yay fun with friends and GameCube!

SURPRISE!

Reason 192: Emily spent this whole afternoon playing Mario Party 7. It really makes me so happy that she's into these games and she's learning more about them. Since she played all day, she actually got me 1000 mileage points. So, as usual, we went to the "Duty-Free Shop" to see what the game would let me get. And, since I FINALLY got all the souvenirs, I wanted to buy secrets. SO we bought the souvenir secret, and I found out that if you say "Surprise" into the Mic while viewing a souvenir, it will do a cool trick! AH! I'm way too excited about this. But seriously. So cute. I'm beyond happy. YAY!

Also, excitement because THEY'RE BACK!

Tadaima!

Reason 183: That is the romaji spelling for the Japanese word to say "I'm home" or "I have returned" (loose translation). Yep, I'm back at McDaniel with my awesome roommate and dear friends. I'm feeling good, and am excited for a semester of fun classes and great shows. YAY DEAN'S LIST.

Also, lookie what Emily's boyfriend got me!
