fun and games at homecoming

LAHS celebrated homecoming with a pep rally. Because the theme was "Games" this year, there were many skits about video games. Some people actually dressed up as Mario characters. I've been a Nintendo fan all my life and really liked the performances. One guy even arranged his own version of the Super Mario Bros. theme!

To a geek like me, this was a memorable assembly. It's too bad I couldn't get it on video. I didn't have my camcorder and don't know of any sites that host videos for free. Hopefully someone will post some online. Otherwise, you'll have to use your imagination. :-(

Currently listening to: Super Mario Bros. theme by Koji Kondo

on turning 16

I'm officially 16 and old enough to drive. However, this isn't something I've given much thought to. Because school is within walking distance, there's no reason to get a license at this time. Although I do plan to eventually get one, that's to worry about later. You can only do so much without a car.

Of course, no birthday is complete without presents: my aunts Jill and Cynthia gave me red envelopes containing $100 each. I'm blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. Jill and Cynthia are both very generous. But damn... this makes me feel guilty because $100 is no pocket change.
