Chapter 3: The Storyteller

There is this kid in my Algebra and Earth Science class who has quite a lot of funny stories to tell. To protect his identity, I'll refer to him as 'Sanjuro'. 

Anyway, he told this awfully bizarre story about his dad - I think. Apparently, while his dad was a wee child, his friends knew of a dentist with a crazy dog. The dentist didn't watch over this crazy dog, of which would oft chase after people. So, one day his friends shot the dog while the dentist wasn't around. Erm... was PETA around back then?

I would write about more of Sanjuro's stories - but, alas, I don't remember the rest of his. I'll ask him some more later, probably on Monday, and post them here.

Almost every Friday, when I'm not departing for my dad's house, I go to this social gathering at a place called Tony's Card Shoppe. There is some silly little card tournament there - I don't actually participate in it - I just go there to hang out with my fellow nerds. 

I often sit waaaayy in the back of the Shoppe with some colleagues from school, of whom, to protect their identity, will be known as Miles, Big Mac, Triple Whopper, and Holdyerman. At the current time of writing this amazing post, I'm just returning from the Shoppe. We often be silly and chat away while I play ever-so-unfitting anime music in the background. Quite a blast, really.

I'm still playing .hack//MUTATION. I'm too scared to battle a certain boss in the game, so I'm powerleveling to 50 before I battle this boss. Why am I too scared? It is a major battle in the game, and I don't want it to end up like the Skeith battle at the end of .hack//INFECTION. 

Skeith was a jerk - that is all I have to say about him. A cheap jerk. I would hammer down on him with all my stuff, Data Drain him, and BAM! I would magically run out of Resurrection items and he would kill me. Usually he'd take off my character first, then the healer, Elk, and then the person that loves to waste my items, BlackRose. I battled the guy 5 times - to no avail. My solution to beating him? Power-leveling to 35. And then maxing out my Resurrections. Worked bueatifully - though I used well over 20 Resurrections during the battle...

This is a really big spoiler for .hack//SIGN, or, really, the aftermath of it. Don't read if you want various things about the story ruined for you.

So, as some people may know, the main character, Tsukasa, ends up getting together with Subaru, the female in blue clothing, and leader (I think) of the Crimson Knights. How ironic that someone in blue would be the leader of a group,of CRIMSON warriors...

Anyway, in the show, one finds out that Tsukasa is actually a GIRL. So... if Subaru and Tsukasa are together, that means that they are lesbians, right? What a bizarre plot point - I never thought about it until recently, too.
