Whaddya know, I just pulled another All-Nighter.

But this time, it has been a huge success so far. I got 10 hours of work in instead of 3. I've really got a good grasp of the idea now, and the paper is starting to materialize in my head. It's due tomorrow and not today, so my plan is to get it done by tonight so, for the first time in a long time, I can get some sleep the night before a test. WOOHOO!

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.
