Karaoke

Oh Ben! is all I can say, well not really.
Maritza took me to a karaoke bar today, it was my first time ever. Of course I was very apprehensive about the whole singing thing, as my singing voice is not the best. Although I do have plenty of other skills that make up for this.
The atmosphere was great, the people . . . awesome! It's always fun getting together with my fellow co-workers, whose company I enjoy to the max. What wasn't to like??? The music, the lights, the magic!!! It was all very enjoyable, even more so when it's people u know.
I love hearing Chewie sing, it's like . . . well it's hard to explain it. So you'd have to experience it first hand. All I have to say is that Maritza and Chewie are the kings and queens of Karaoke and DDR, and nobody NOBODY can tell me other wise.
So everything is going pink as a cloud, but of course people kept asking me if I was gonna sing. Karaoke bars are NOT like Karaoke revolution. It's a harsh thing, but c' la vie.
Maritza kept saying I should sing by myself. HAH!!! As if I would ever attempt such a feat, when my psyche is in such poor condition. Well finally she decided we could do a duet. She pored over the book, but then she had to pee ( it was the long island iced tea) While she was gone I found that they indeed had HSM songs. Imagine Maritza's glee upon returning from the loo to find this out. Laaa! I swear she nearly peed her pants from joyce, and the only thing that stopped her was the lack of pee in her bladder.
Then we debated whether we would actually go through with it. I turned in the slip with our request.
WE almost didn't make it since it was toward the end of the night. I hoped that we wouldn't get a turn, while wishing for the opposite at the the same time.
They called our names. OMGZ! What will I do??? We went up of course, no way to back out with all our friends there . . . grrr
Breaking Free. That was our song. I asked Maritza to sing along with me during my parts. She did at first, but then like a parent helping a child learn to ride a bike, she let go! AHHHH! Thankfully I only wobbled instead of falling flat on my face on the floor. Although I didn't fail I still felt chilled to my core. I have horrible stage fright when it comes to things that are new to me. I focused really hard on Maritza's face.
In the end we made our way to our seats amongst clapping, but I was only aware of my every step. The hand holding the microphone was numb, and my legs were turned to jelly. I felt like puking, and I was really dizzy all at the same time. My heart is still racing at the mere thought of this, but despite it all . . . I thank Maritza for the exhilarating new experience.

Skip Beat!

Well if you've talked to me recently you'd know this is my new manga/anime obsession. To the point that I'm not really catching up with my old titles! It's all I EVER think about!!! Be I at school, work, sleeping, reading; it is constantly on my mind. Well today I was reading the manga and it got to this really juicy part, but I was like I SHOULD go get ready for work . . . Well just as I decided that I also decided that I should try to watch just one teenzy episode of Skip Beat! the anime . . . Well I'm on episode 3 right now, but when I was trying to access it I noticed that episode 17 was the episode that had to do with that juicy part of the manga where I left off!
So whatevs I went unto episode 3, but about 1/3 of the way in I couldn't stand it anymore and went straight to episode 17. I skipped a bunch of it, but it wasn't the one I was looking for!!! So of course now that the hooks of obsession had sunk all the way in I HAD to go on to episode 18. A bliss!!! It was soo good, but it was only part 1!!!!!! Well I tried to access episode 19 at crunchyroll.com where I usually go to for all my anime/drama needs....
IT FAILED ME!!!!!
Apparently the episode isn't made public till 2 days from now, otherwise u had to pay fro it! I mean was desperate now, but was I THAT desperate?
HA HA HAH!!! Take this crunchyroll! I have a backup!!! YES!!! When you fail me, like today I go to zomganime.com! This place only fails me when it comes to ultra old anime, but otherwise it is reliable.
The episode was awesome!!! but now i have to wait 3 days till the next one :( Quality is also not the best @ zomg. It tends t be fuzzy and sometimes you can almost not read the subtitles, but it is all worth it!!! *burning with craziness*
Ooops g2g I have to leave for work in like 5 mins!!!!

manga!

So my Internet is finally working!!! YEY!!! This is awesome cuz I can finally try to catch up with my online junk, such as anime and manga. This had been greatly distressing me, and of course now I can blog on a more regular basis. I never realized how much I'd enjoy blogging, but it is truly a great experience.
How do I explain what it feels like to be on manga again? It's like . . . a fresh of breath air. Jumping off a cliff and finding you are in some wondrous meadow! ( no I am not dead just cuz I fell off the cliff) It's just sooo exhilarating to be picking up one of my old hobbies again. I really missed staying up late. You just started reading a manga, but then it's sooo long that you know you must stop soon. Yet somehow you can't convince yourself to do so. You make up excuses for why you shouldn't stop. You say "Oh, but I just got to a good part! There's no way I can stop now, I just won't be able to sleep!" And in reality it is true. You go to bed and try to sleep, but you are sooo hooked you can't go to sleep without knowing what's gonna happen next. Even though you tell yourself it's only for 5 minutes it somehow turns into 2 hours, but boy is it worth the lack of sleep. A good manga or anime is worth as much as a good night spent with friends. On that note I leave you all to go watch some manga!

Uno Warz!

Omgz! Yey my first word, in my first blog ever! Okay now that that's over with . . . so I was at Maritza's today, well more like yesterday.
So we started the evening by laughing @ Vince in his short tv appearence. It was hilarious, but we were soon over it. That is when the real action began . . .

*flashback sequence*

She pulled out the faithful deck of cards , so full of dents and mystery stains . . . I looked at her, she looked at me. We both knew it was full out war. She dealt the first hand and I laid down my first card, it was EPIC!!! I really don't remember what happened, but that's beside the point. i won that round and the next, and the next two as well. I say I won 5 rounds, but Maritza begs to differ! As if I would believe her lies . . . lolz Anyways we moved our game to the living room and Rosie joined us. it got violent! She gave me all the plus whatever cards! What a skank! (I say this in a loving way of course) This started full out war. Maritza won that round, but she got a face full of my losing cards. Rosie laughed, but I was out for her blood. Wrong move. We went on to the next round, and Rosie one. My cards met her face that round and the two to follow. But Lady Luck was mine that next round I won! and I have the picture to prove it! The world was mine for those few precious seconds. Then Joel joined us another intense round of Uno ensued, where passions were high and the players suspicious of everyone around them including the invisible cat. I lost that round, Maritza won . . . a face full of cards! Then it came down to the last round . . . Tensions were high, the stupid invisible cat wouldn't shut up, and all I wanted was victory. The cards were dealt it seemed as if Rosie would win, then Joel, then Maritza, then Rosie again, plus cards were used everywhere. Reverse cards ran rampant, but in the end it was I with a plus 4 Wild card who one. It was I! everyone last hope after that game and we all stopped playing . . .
