I GOT IT.
this is a long one.
Waited in line from saturday night--- couldnt do the whole thing that i wanted to do... go and camp out on friday... because it was POURING... and the STORM OF THE CENTURY coming out of nowhere to ruin our plans.
Saturday morning i was soo confused as to what was going on later that day... and i was exhausted from staying up chatting all night... so i was on- off sleeping the whole day. But around twelve, i woke myself up with my alarm. and called Rems to find out what we were doing. Mind you, it was raining like a FOOL outside, but i didnt really notice because im on the 11th floor, and i cant really see the DEVASTATION to its full extent from my window. By the way, this was the day after
left to go home for the break so it was pretty bleak and lonely in the room.... without the random laughing to herself doing whatever she's doing on her computer. It amuses me sometimes. --But anyway. i called Rems and he was like 'i dunno, its pretty nasty outside, i dont know if anyone would want to line up in this weather...'(or something like that, i dont remember i was totally out of it) and i was like 'wow is it raining that bad?' and he was like 'yeah..' and i responded 'oh shit...' so i got up and leaned over my desk to see if i could see the ground and the DEVASTATION but i couldnt, because its the 11th floor. Mind you, i had moved from the 8th floor, and with a good lean from my bed, you can see the ground outside and the people with their umbrellas and whatnot, the nastiness of the weather... mini floods that are drowning the rodents and small animals... but i digress... 'oh...okay... hm.' 'well maybe we can go to Nintendo World later and...--okay i dont remember in detail the conversation we had over the phone. but here's what went down *makes gesture to signify 'going down'*: i met rems over at nintendo world at about 6. we were supposed to meet at 5:30, but we were both late. anyhow. Apparently he met some dudes there who were there since FRIDAY 0_o. they went down into the train station to sleep and get out of the rain. one of them offered me chips and soda. i declined. wasnt hungry... very nice of him, though.
so we weren't first. *shrug*
we went inside, and wandered around for a bit, then went upstairs and played Guitar Hero, waiting for John, who came like about twenty minutes later. Rems was getting anxious cause of the prospect of actually camping out- earlier, after looking at the RAIN, we had agreed that i, and whoever else was coming, would just go and sleep over at his house until early morning, and then we would go get online. but the rain had gone! we could see clearly now. so i was standing there playing Guitar Hero and he was like 'come on come on! lets go...' and i was like 'lemme finish the goddam song...' We had to go back to his place to get supplies.. chairs and sleeping bags and blankets... and FUCK did we need those blankets. it was COLD. it was GELID. but anyway, we went to rems house, and when we got out of the train station... it was POURING. freaking RIVERS in the streets. it was like god fell down the stairs and decided to put the blame on us. '--ima take a dump on these kids cause they worship Miyamoto instead of me.' it was RIDICULOUS. we had to run into the Commerce bank at the corner and stand there for a while.
3 minutes. not a drop. Bipolar ass weather.
we continued to his house and picked up what we needed, and Remy's mom, whom i love so much, drove us back to nintendo world. that was about.. nine-ish, where we met up with more friends, Luigi and Shakira. it was great, sat down, talking to the kids who were there before, playing mariokart and marioparty and other fun multiplayers...having heated conversations about videogames and whatnot. Then this dude and his girlfriend came. He was alright. in the beginning. he talked too damn much. and his teeth were a little wonky. distracted me a bit. okay they were pretty fucked up. He was a nice enough guy.. his but he just opened his mouth when it need not be opened. and he got to be REALLY annoying. and the same with his girlfriend. she was cool, and we all agreed that we liked her more than him. but she left at around 12... to go and sleep in a fucking bed, while her boyfriend stayed out and waited for her on line-- he wasnt even getting the game. props to him. whatever props are. but she was ANNOYING. when she came back in the morning.... i was like SHUT THE FUCK UP. through the night... we went to mc donalds like five times... to warm up.. got something to eat there... and went back later to go to the bathroom and get some hot chocolate, which wasnt that good, but it was WARM. and that was good. cause i was fucking COLD. and then went back a few more times, go to the bathroom, go with other people, that kind of thing.
People kept on walking past and asking us what we were waiting for. 'brawl' we would respond. didnt know whether or not they knew what 'brawl' was...didnt care. we were cold.
there was a poster for that Professor Layton and the Curious Village game smack in front of us in the window the entire time. there was also a dancing security guard. he was there ALL night. it was great. there were also some sparrows that came to eat our spilled doritos. they were cute. we stayed up all night, laughing our asses off at whatever we were talking about.
At about four, some other kids came, they thought that Nintendo world was having a midnight release. They had to wait on line. We didnt like them, they were loud and boisterous and seemed like the type who would hack their pokemon and cheat in melee. we payed them no mind.
Then the morning came, and about an hour or two before the store opened the line tripled in size. and soon one of the employees came out and gave us raffle tickets. they were going to hold a raffle for the 6 copies of brawl that were autographed by Masahiro Sakurai -for people who dont know who that is... they can probably figure out that he's the one who created the game. he's also the creator of Kirby. but a RAFFLE? we asked why, and he said that it was to be as 'fair as possible' FAIR AS POSSIBLE? think about it. we were standing out in the fucking COLD for ten hours--and the kids who were here before us?! waiting out the STORM OF THE GODDAM CENTURY?? and the kids who just came out a few minutes ago, got to sleep in their beds, all warm and cozy and dry can have the same right to that?? i was PO'D to the MAX. i really really wanted that autographed copy....though i think i was the one who wanted it most... no one else seemed to care so much. we went in to buy our copies, and the raffle was held a few minutes later... we decided to stay and wait for it. thank god the Toothy Mc Fuck kid and his annoying ass girlfriend didnt want to stay so they left. before they did tho, Toothy was like 'hey, gimme your number so we can contact later, exchange brawl friend codes and bla bla bla.' first time he asked i was like *IGNORE* then he poked rems and asked him. and rems told him contact information. i asked his girlfriend if she wanted her raffle ticket and she was like 'no' and handed it to me, and i was like 'thanks..' and they left, when rems turned to me and said 'yo i gave them a wrong number' and i was like 'I LOVE YOU'
We waited there for a while, and then they called the numbers and against all odds rems had the winning ticket! <3!! we all took a picture with the signed Brawl, and it was awesome. i was so happy. he gave it to me. made my day, because i was so freaking pissed before. THANK YOU REMY! thing is, we arent quite sure whos ticket it was. it could have been mine or his, or Toothy's girlfriend's. ill stick with the latter, only because its more entertaining. then we went to rems house and had some tea... AND PLAYED BRAWL!!!! LAJFDKALFJIAFJIJKIEANCJGBO!!!
POKEMON TRAINER IS AWESOME!
Fox, who's my usual character looks pretty dam cool even though they used his star fox command version.
META KNIGHT IS AWESOME! 'gididididgea!'
But ive yet to play my own copy, so ill stop with this long ass journal.
All in all, i had a SHITLOAD of fun. it was great. hanging out with old friends, bonding. despite the COLD.
and for those of you who have a wii and dont have brawl, what the fuck is wrong with you.
