My arm is slightly sore right now.

I went out bowling with some friends last night. The strange thing about this (sorta) is that the last time I went bowling, my parents called and wanted to come over to play some Wii Bowling. Sure enough, my phone rings tonight when we're waiting to get seated at the restaurant (mmmm…zebbs.) I went outside to answer it and it was my mom, asking if the bowling alley was open tonight. I had to clarify that she meant wii sports bowling… Anyway, it was a little strange.

Other strange occurrences included ordering a 1/2 pound burger and receiving 2 1/3 pounder burgers instead because the cook made the wrong size (I wouldn't have notice if they didn't tell me actually.) There was also a kid with a death wish who kept running out into our lane just as I was about to go. And the strangest of all…losing to my very tipsy friend who was having some balance issues by the last game after a pretty decent Cosmopolitan from the bar helped her along. Although I guess drinking and bowling go hand in hand, so it makes sense that they would create a sport where balance wasn't really necessary Granted she's better than me when she's sober, but I'm not entirely sure how she did it…

And FINALLY I can let the cat out of the bag. I've been scheming for the past couple weeks to surprise my fri–heck, I'll just call her Wassy since that's what she goes by on the interwebs…tired of saying "my friend this/my friend that" all the time . Anyway, she's the one who gifted me all of the nice artwork and other small little items, just when they were needed the most. She mentioned a couple months ago that she really wanted a plushie stuffed animal thing version of Yoshi, from Super Mario World. And then I got one, and she said she'd kill me and steal it.

Anyway…I went out to the wide world that was eBay and procured a little keychain version of yoshi (about 2-2.5 inches tall I'd say) since that was the only version I could find that wasn't shipping out of hong kong for $20-25 worth of shipping to the US. I've had it for a little over a week now and I've been dying to tell somebody. I finally gave it to her last night as a little thank you gift for the stuff she's done for me.
