Today was the Narrows Gamma tournament at (duh) Narrows. I-Gene and I hit the road on like 4 hours of sleep and I totally broke the speed limit a ton and we got there at like 10:50, the tournament supposedly started at 11. (But they did qualifiers early for people who were there). The single tech qualifiers: Miracle and Somewhere Over the Speed Change... yeah, that's an easy choice. I did Miracle, got like 45 greats... qualified like 26th or 27th or something. It was kinda funny since Nykkel qualified one less than me, and I think Sean qualified one less than him.
Ray and Jonathan and I-Gene are playing IIDX downstairs and I'm gonna conk out soon, I dunno if I'll even finish this entry tonight.
So I should first do shoutouts before I forget them, actually:
DYLAN IS THE MAN. He gave me his Max2 marquee he won...
and then AMBER IS THE MAN, because she gave me a GF 6th marquee as well. I've been begging for marquees for so long and suddenly in the last week I seem to have gotten 3. I'm so happy :) Amber is also the man for running the tournament so well, but then again, so is Steve and Rayna.
It was so good to meet new people today, like James (Captain Canada and his mad freestyle skills), and Mendel from oregon, and some of the IRC kids ("Hi, I'm ________". "Oh, I'm Deanna. I think I've kicked you on IRC before." "Yeah, like 10 times :)" "Nice to meet you, no hard feelings, right?").
So good to see Farren again. I remember how we used to hang out like, once or twice a week last fall, and now I hadn't seen him since Foy's party in mid-July...
Having Crystal and I-Gene up from california was so neat.
And Laura actually put on the loose socks I got her as the late birthday present and wore them around... they look so much better on her than my pair looks on me.
Rumi and Matt were there! Yay!
Pale-Charlie showed up too! And I want to see all the goofy self-pictures he took!
Ray is fun! But I still think he shoulda entered doubles :)
Mwinzi was there and we got to PARA!
Oh, and of course it was AWESOME to see Pete and to Para and to hang out and stuff. Pete's also the man.
While I'm at it, Keel is the man too. I am SO happy he decided to come, and to stay, and to win doubles :) (Don't get me wrong. I think Dyaus is one of the greatest guys I've ever met, he's such a total sweetie, and an AMAZING DDR player, but I still wanted Kyle to beat him)
Oh, and the person I probly enjoyed talking to the most was Nykkel... I mean, I could babble about Japan a bit to other people, but at least he really *understands* what I'm talking about. I'm so glad he stuck around all day :)
Keevon always makes me laugh, and today was no exception.
( i'm nice and LJ-cutting, so click to read a long story about an awesome DDR tournament day )
