Ever since I've become an officer of the Davis Smash Crew (which is now an OFFICIAL club of UCD...surprisingly) I've been so busy with the club and school it's ridiculous. This weekend I've helped run two tournaments. Thursday's tourney was basically run by me which was fun at first, but not fun when the tourney lasts for five hours...So I was basically going back and forth gathering everyone's wins, studying bracket theory, inputting results in the laptop and COMPETING at the same time. Yes, it was very tiresome. The very next day I had to help run another tourney and...My goodness I can't play Smash anymore, haha! I never realized how much work the club is going to be.

This April we are planning a big regional tourney on campus which I'm excited about. A lot of NorCal's best are coming, so I hope that this tourney will be the start of a new series of awesome Davis tourneys. On Tuesday I have to meet up with the Davis Police to discuss tourney logistics. I suppose it's going to be something along the lines of how many people are allowed to be in the room at the same time...or something like that, heh.

This is a group for players who are or have been on the Northern California Brawl Power Rankings!

Damn the UC system for raining on my parade! Like I've told everyone before, I wanted to double major in Chemical Engineering and Fashion Design with a minor in Japanese...however I can't do that because it would be going over the number of units I'm allowed to take during my studies here at Davis...NOOOOOOOO! On top of that, my counselor smacked me on the head (not literally) and told me to get real. If I want to stick with all of the stuff that I'm doing now (ballroom, piano, anime, my store and Tai Chi Chuan), I won't be able to sleep or even eat if I take anything above 20 units. I'm sucking it up...and I'm just going to major in chemical engineering now. Here are the classes I will (hopefully) be able to take next quarter:

General Chemistry 2B
Calculus 21B
Analysis in Biochemistrty, Chemistry and Materials Engineering
Engineering Problem Solving

I'm honestly going to miss not being able to take many humanities classes like history and language. Le sigh...I guess I just really like school haha. I loooooove humanities AND the sciences. Even though I have straight B's right now (no, not B+ or B-...straight B's), I'm enjoying my classes. Well, I wish that astronomy lab didn't end at 11 at night...but I guess it's all right. I'm learning a lot in that class and knowledge is power right? (Corny, I know.) By far, calculus is my favorite class as of now. Nerdy? Oh yes I am.

--NOT SCHOOL RELATED (because that's boring)--

My new group of friends seem so...I don't know, but something's definitely off. Ever since Ernie came back from home, he's been in such a bad mood. Everything seemed so happy and stuff with my friends, but I think Ernie's negativity spread and everyone seems so annoyed of something. I don't have any problems with my friends individually--it's us as a group, as a family. I've talked with Jeff about it and he and I agreed that I should talk to Ernie to see what's up since I'm the one it seems like he'll open up to.

With Smash, the community looks like it's falling apart in my eyes. With good players leaving left and right...who the fuck am I going to play with? n00bz? Fuck that. Everyone seems to be either playing better games or gravitating back to Melee. I'm not going to lie though; I still think Brawl is fun, but Dylan is slowly bringing me back to Melee. Is this the end of my competitive Brawl life? Hopefully not. However, I really am scared about the split that's forming, in my eyes, in the Smash community. I better find another game to be competitive in just in case. (Why the hell isn't Soul Calibur more competitive? T_T And why the fuck is Soul Calibur 2 still better than Soul Calibur 4!? ARGGG!!! The quality of games seriously need to step it up.)

FUCK YEAH!!!! I'm going to Indiana Jones that shit! (I wonder if anyone got the South Park reference...) Anyways, I know this may sound weird, but I'm actually super excited for my calculus midterm tomorrow. Tee hee~! I think it's because I feel so confident that I just want to go in there, pwn it and go "Uhhhhh!" (Um, so as you can tell, I enjoy school way too much...)

I've been the bad student though...I've skipped pretty much a whole week of chemistry (minus one tutoring session and lab) so that I could attend hardcore study sessions for this calculus midterm. I know that I have to strike a balance between my classes, but eh, whatever. I feel pretty bored in chemistry to be honest. I remember all of this from high school, so I just fall asleep in class and sometimes even tutoring. Ah, well.

Other than school, there was a Smash tourney at my school and, just as I expected, wasn't all that great.

First reason: The person I played with spammed the shit out of me!!!! Yes, yes, no johns, it's legit, it's Brawl, I KNOW. I just got incredibly annoyed of him running away and spamming throughout the whole match that I just got too pissed off to concentrate. My friends even said that I started saying, "COME HERE YOU LITTLE BITCH!" outloud...without me realizing it. I've never been that pissed at a tourney before, but let me tell you...He beat me fair and square, but even when I get beat I still enjoy the match. This one? Bleh.

Second reason: TOO. MANY. FUCKING. COCKY. PEOPLE. It's INCREDIBLY annoying to play against someone who thinks they're so high and mighty, and when you beat them/almost beat them, they don't bother to shake your hand, say, "Good game," or anything. This really jackass Asian guy was three-stocking people with his Snake. I whipped out my Womandorf, got him down to the last stock and said my, "Good game, nice Snake!" Instead he goes, "Yeah..." Fucker. Then when my Smasher friend beat the shit out of  him he poots and leaves. Nub.

I'm just so glad that I'm finally doing all of the things I want to do...Smash, Tai Chi Chuan, ballroom dancing, clothes designing (I WILL POST SKETCHES SOON! :D) and piano.

OH in terms of fashion...

Will you marry me, Limi Feu? I guess I should talk to your daddy Yohji Yamomoto first...Sad face...

Yesterday was my big tourney--Axisgaming at Emeryville. A record of 300 people came, the biggest in Smash tourney history--and I was a part of it!

That morning, I woke up all excited, but then my chest started hurting because I'm not allowed to get too excited anymore XD Go me. Anyways, it was sooooo much fun...I kind of felt like a celebrity :P As I was walking through the parking lot, a lot of people were all "CUTIE-KUN IS REAL!?" Yeah. Apparently some people STILL didn't believe that I was a real person and not just some chick made up from a 13 year old boy's imagination. Anyways, during the tourney, everytime people passed me they would say, "WO-MAN-DOOORRRF!" and when they announced my name for the next match, some people in the crowd would go "CUTIEEEEEEE!" I can't lie, I was really, really flattered that people knew me.

I ended up getting a lot of friendly challenges...people really wanted to see my Ganondorf which was cool :P I didn't place very high I believe. I didn't get the standing yet, but I had a 2-2 record...After you lose two times you're out. Poo, ah well. I met a lot of really cool people and got to hang out with CJ a lot.

I love being in competitive Smash and I plan to continue when I'm at Davis! It turns out that there are a LOT of Smashers there. Yaaaaaaay!  I'm so glad I've finally found something I thorougly enjoy and that I've made lots of friends because of it...heh.

(As a side note, you know THOSE Nine West heels I got? I can't stop wearing them! It's so hard for me to walk in flats/sneakers now! I HAVE to wear heels now...damn. Since I was going to be on my feet the whole day, I decided to wear them at the tourney. A lot of people told me that they noticed the shoes first--not me T_T)
