Mario Party Party

Wednesday, I decided Friday was the day I would host Mario Party Party I at my apartment.

Friday: I text all LSU friends: Mpp 2nite. Victor was already in on it. Steven is coming, and Jordan is too.

4:00- Cleaning the apartment. There's trash everywhere. My blessed Scotch-brite sponge (you know, the yellow and green ones) gets the job done.

5:30- To the grocery to get snacks. I've been slipping on my diet lately, but I still grab some Mission tortilla chips (the best), Herdez salsa (the best) and a liter of Dr. Pepper. I also get some Paper plates, red party cups and paper towels.

It's Friday in Lent, and I'm Catholic. I can't eat meat.

7:00- Damn, I'm fat, I realize, so I go to the Union to grab dinner and pass time.

Fabian is there, so I pass the word on MPP.

Fuck it, I'm getting an ice cream sandwich.

8:00- Impatiently, I crack open a cold one from my fridge.

8:50- some girls (Tim's friends) scream from their balcony that they are coming to my party.

9:00- Jon, Jordan and Adrian are here. Adrian will be my apartment-mate next year, and Jon's moving to ECA as well, so they take a tour around. They are both drawn to my Gibson SG Standard I got for Christmas.

9:10 Jordan leaves for something, and Steven, Tim and D-Rob arrive. Mario Kart 64 gets going. I always race as Bowser. I won Bowser's Castle for the first time ever.

9:30 D-Rob is playing on my guitar, Fabian arrives, and I realize I don't have nearly enough food. Victor calls and he needs a ride over. Jordan is friendly enough to go and get him over here.

10:00 The girls arrive, and Steven chases them off. I'm on my fourth beer.

10:30 We're playing Pokemon Snap.

11:00 Finally, everyone is here. We divide up into 4 teams of 2.

After 5 rounds, I freeze the game while jumping over the cords. I didn't trip over the cords, but the astounding force of my landing made the game jump.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I actually start screaming "Fuck fuck fuck!" for a second.

I just killed the party. Tim, Adrian, D-Rob and Jon decide to leave. Which leaves Steven, Victor, Jordan and me.

Unfazed, I start up a 20-rounder for us. I'm Donkey Kong. Jordan is Yoshi. Steven is Peach and Victor is Luigi.

Steven leaves after about seven rounds and Victor picks up Steven's control.

12:30 Jordan wins, and I call the party a success. The two of them help me clean up, and we call it a night.
