dmxratedThree entries today. The first one marks April Fools Day, Holy Thursday, the fist day of Spring Break, and the first of two times that we rented Snowboard Kids 2 while I was in 7th Grade, all on the same day! It was also summarized on April 1, 2008. The second entry marks the second of two times I saw Anna during the school year. And the third is not only one of the more eventful visits to Matthew's house, but also the day where I left off mid-entry before I came back to it more than a year ago.
April 1 (April Fool’s Day; Holy Thursday)
This morning, I played Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Later, Mom took me to Matthew’s. When I got there, we played Jenga.
Later today, me and Matthew watched TV. We watched CatDog and Rocko’s Modern Life. Then we played some games on Playstation. First, we played Jumping Flash, but we didn’t get very far into it. Then we played Xtreme Sports.
“It’s like that game, Skateboard Kids, what’s it called?” he said.
“Snowboard Kids,” I told him.
“Yeah, except that instead of shooting things at people, you fight them.”
Later, Mom came and picked me up. On the way home, she told me “We got you something. You wanna guess what it is?” I asked her what it is, but she told me to take a guess. I didn’t wanna guess, so I just didn’t answer. Before we got home, she went to Edward’s. While we were there, I saw the same duck Elouise brought into class the other day. I showed Mom.
When we got home, I saw what Mom got me. It was Snowboard Kids 2. I was gonna play it, but Brian was on, and he was playing Vigilante 8, which he also rented. Soon, he let me go on, and I started playing it. He’s like “You wanna know what I like about this? It’s got better turning.” Soon, I got to Jingle Town, and I’m like “Jingle Town, Jingle Town, Jingle all the way!” Whenever you use the Wing, it looks like the Greek god Mercury on a snowboard. Before dinner, I went outside and thought about my version of Snowboard Kids 2. Soon, I came back inside, and Nicole tried it out. She played the Training Mode, but she didn’t get it the first time, so she doesn’t like it.
When we ate dinner, I told everyone about Duckduck. Mom asked Nicole what his name is. She said its name is Jake.
April 2, 1999 (Good Friday)
This morning, I played Snowboard Kids 2. While I was playing, Brian’s like “You know what this reminds me of? Pokémon. Ducks floating over their heads...”
Later today, Mom drove me and the other kids somewhere. First, she went somewhere, and she spoke to Anna and two other kids. Then we went to the library. On the way there, she had the radio on, and the radio was playing this song by Puff Daddy. While it was playing, I was thinking about something where one 5th Grader, one 6th Grader, and two 7th Graders were doing a lip sync on that. Then it played something else that I didn’t like.
I never knew what the Puff Daddy song was called or what any of the lyrics were, but if it sounds familiar to you, some of the notes were "So MiLaSo Do, So MiLaSo Do, DoSoSoSoLaMiDoDo..." The latter song in question, though, later turned out to be Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca!"
While we were at the library, I was standing outside the door, and I thought to myself, why is Anna so important? Nicole’s another 5th Grade girl with braces.
When we got home, Mom asked me to get the Pennysavers from the mailbox. On the way back, I didn’t look across the road. I just crossed it for fun. Dad yelled at me for this.
April 3, 1999 (Saturday)
This morning, me and the other kids played Snowboard Kids 2. We raced in Wendy’s House. While we were playing, Marie’s like “Her house is all cramped.” Brian’s like “You hold anything against that?” Later, Brian’s like “She’s got a Tellietubbie.” After it was over, we played in Jingle Town. I’m like “Jingle Town, Jingle Town, Jingle all the way.” Soon, Marie fell into a pit, and she got pulled out. I’m like “That was Jesus Christ that picked you up.” Mom’s like “Eric!”
This morning, I was getting ready to go to Matthew’s. While I was getting ready, Mom spoke to me about saying “Jesus Christ.” I kept saying it, and she’s like “Tell Matthew you can’t come.”
I just learned a curse word worse than “fuck.”
On the way to Matthew’s, I asked Mom what would happen if I made a snowboarding game where if you fell into a pit, Jesus Christ would pick you up. She’s like “Some people might think it’s funny, but a lot of people wouldn’t buy it.”
Really? Then why has he made such a handful of appearances in Penny Arcade, which was successful enough to go on for over ten years now?
The whole time while I was at Matthew’s house, I wanted to go home so badly so I could play Snowboard Kids 2.
Matthew’s other friends Karen and John came over to visit. While they were there, we dyed Easter eggs. Not much to say about that. We also played Duke Nukem on the computer. Not much to say about that either; all it was was shooting aliens with various guns, along with talking to some woman swinging a chain in circles.
After Karen and John left, me and Matthew played some Playstation games like Spyro and Steel Reign. We also had some nacho chips while we were playing.
We also watched All That, and later on, Rugrats, and finally, Celebrity Deathmatch. Not much to say about the first two shows, except that during the commercial, there was this commercial for a Fruit by the Foot N64 sweepstakes. It featured this old couple playing Mario Party. The woman was asking the man when was it her turn, and the man said that he’ll let her play when he’s done. She then says “But you’ve been playing for sixty-two years.”
As it turns out, it was actually two men, not some man and his wife. But anyway, here you go:

This episode of Celebrity Deathmatch featured a remake of that Bible story about Moses. Johnny’s son asked him to read him a bedtime story, and that’s what he chose. Instead of the Plagues, though, Moses and the Pharaoh fought to see who would have their way.
After we were done watching TV, Matthew showed me something inside a plastic cup. The cup said “Bring this to church” and some other places. The thing inside was purple and squishy, and I didn’t know what it was. Matthew then showed me that you make a farting noise with it by jamming it into the cup. We had some fun with it, and he also told me that once, he used this on the train, and everyone on the train started blaming each other, and some old lady jumped off. I then started petting the cat’s ass so that it would raise it, and then Matthew would make it “fart.”
When Mom finally came to pick me up, Matthew’s mother showed her some giant, stuffed yellow duck. She said it was something for Easter, and they also had yet to get a rabbit and some other animal.
While I was home, Brian told me that he beat Snowboard Kids 2. Damien takes ten hits at first, but after you hit him that many times, he becomes this smaller, faster robot that takes three more hits.
I played another round of Snowboard Kids 2. It was past 11:00 when I was trying and trying again at Crazy Jungle.
Next game: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Back to the present.
Marie came home yesterday, so that she could be here for her birthday. As it turns out, she does have a copy of the phone interview Scott gave me, which I will seek to copy onto my flash drive later today.
Last night, me and Marie made smores, and roasted the marshmallows on the stove. I suggested that we do it on the barbecue, since smores are usually more fun to have outdoors, but she and Mom asked me if I would like to set the barbecue up. So, by the stove we did it.
