Mambo #3

Today, I cleaned off the bottom shelf of my room and found things I never wanted to find, things I've lost, and other special items.
Most of said items, however, are now going to the Goodwill store.
Special Item #1: BEYBLADES
Remember these? You'd beg your parents for hours in the department store to buy them because you wanted to be like the fictional characters on the animated TV show.
I even remember some of the characters, like Kai and Ray and...well it gets a little blurry after that. Ah, those were the days---up until about five months later, when Pokemon became the rage at my school. I STILL can't believe I traded a LUGIA that I found IN A NORMAL PACKAGE for a STUPID MEWTWO!
AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE DAMN MEWTWO CARD!


Special Item #2: B'Daman
...I'm keeping this, maybe I'll make a stop-motion series out of the tiny little robot-like characters...if I can find the rest of their parts...

Special Item #3: Piranha Panic!
Ok, what happened to board games? You know, the whole "NO YOU CAN'T HANG WITH YOUR FRIENDS TONIGHT IT'S FAMILY GAME NIGHT!" deal? The answer?
DIVORCE BECAME A FREAKING FAD.
I MEAN, COME ON, REALLY?
And since Nintendo(I love you Mario but you ruined the social lives of millions) came out with video games, thousands of only children and even children with brothers and sisters have started to interact with members of their families less! iPods, computers---they're tearing society apart!
PLEASE, FOR GOD'S SAKE, BRING BACK NON-TECHNOLOGICAL FUN!
FRISBEE IS THE BEST GAME EVER AND I PLAYED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS ON THE WEEKEND!
THREE FREAKING YEARS!


Special Ite--...ok I cleaned my room out about two hours ago so actually they're getting kinda fuzzy now.
OOOH! I KNOW!
My Harry Potter diary!
...But I can't get it open.

Other escapades of my day include:
-Finding toy handcuffs(stainless steel, very good quality)
-Getting one hand stuck in handcuffs
-Knowing I would never find the keys after looking for them in room TWICE
-Prying handcuffs open with screwdriver, giving said inanimate objects the finger, and throwing them away
-Finding B'Daman
-Realising that I not only had a Cobalt Blade but also a Chrome Zephyr
-Coming to grips with fact that I would never find Zephyr
-Playing with deformed Cobalt Blade(tons of accessories and armor lost forever, including helmet)
-Finding Beyblades
-Reminiscing on good ol' days when I was in Jeanne Sauve Immersion
-Remembering my grudge towards Evan Georgalidas for cheating me out of the rarest Pokemon card I ever had
-Wondered where my Blue Eyes Shining Dragon was after going through entire Yu-Gi-Oh card collection
-Wondered how much I could sell all my amazingly rare cards for
-Went through old Pokemon cards(very few)
-Put half of items found on shelf in a green garbage bag to be taken to Goodwill
-That's about it I think


Yesterday for some reason, I cleaned an old golfing set I found with some
OXY CLEAN!!!!!!!!(lol sorry tribute to the late Oxy Clean Guy)
and then it was all sparkly and clean...except for the bag, it was still gross and dusty. I covered it in leather protector and was done with it.

I'm considering doing fencing. I'm doing so because I thought I was at the top of my swordfighting game...and then a certain person beat me in a duel because he did epee, and I didn't. I'm thinking about saber, because it sounds good to me. I'm not one for poking things quickly and hoping I hit somewhere in the torso area, I prefer slashing. It's more my style, you know? I like the general "hack and slash like a medieval warrior" thing better than "en garde, I'll kill you and do so in French sword-that-looks-like-one-of-those-swords-they-stick-through-pieces-of-fruit-then-put-in-your-drink style! I AM INIGO MONTOYA! YOU KILLED MY FATHER! PREPARE TO DIE!"
...Sorry, I got sidetracked there.

In other me-related news, I recently got the stuff I need to fill out my friend's order for an Arthas helmet.
Papier-mache made, of course.
I also recently downloaded Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, by BEAT CRUSADERS.
I originally heard it as a Bleach opening theme.

Well, that's about it right now. Stay tuned!
