Havok, Wi-fi tonight? :p

I promise to not get my hamstring pulled and fall asleep due to lying on a bed waiting for it to not hurt. :D

My, how times have changed. Hell, I remember when San Diego used to even have [decent, functional and well-populated] arcades.
:( RIP Plaza Bonita TILT.

@Gursalug: That's cool you were able to have a good time in Vegas at such an age.
I remember my first trip to Vegas. I was 6 y/o and we stopped by on our roadtrip to Canada. We were taking one of those huge-old school Vans (the kinds where there's like this huge open space in the middle) and when we reached a stop an over zealous me was the first to open the door and hop out. Then out of nowhere comes this old dude in black who tries to take me. My cousin who was maybe 15 at the time jumped to the edge of the van, grabbed my hand and proceeded to pull me back in. The old dude started laughing manically and they had a little tug-of-war. After like two pulls the dude gives up and runs away. This all happened mid-day, too. Crazy ****. I wouldn't stop hearing this from my family for the rest of the trip, though I can't blame them.
And now I go to Vegas yearly because I have relatives there. :D

On another note, would anyone like to suggest places for me to visit, things for me to do or places for me to eat on my daytrip? I might go Thurs/Fri or even as early as tomorrow. I'll be taking public transportation and I might possibly be bringing a girl friend along. So I don't want to just wander around aimlessly. I'm not opposed to hanging around a mall like Mission/Fashion/Horton but window shopping can only last so long and I want something out of the norm. I'm considering visiting Balboa Park or maybe even La Jolla Cove (though I'm not familiar with the area at all) and possibly ending at Sea Port Village (in all my visits I've never tried the carousel). Dunno what else there is to do downtown.

I'm kinda ashamed of what little I know about San Diego even though I spent pretty much my entire life living here. :/

I played Primal Rage at 7/11 after every little league game when my dad would go buy me a slurpee. Good times. =) (Diablo is still ****)

Also, I went walking around freemont street a couple years ago at 3 AM. Random black dude in an all-green, reflective, sequined suit and matching fedora tried to sell weed to me and my friends. We ended up going to McDonalds and 7/11 and the same guy tried to sell to us again on our way back.

Pretty hilarious at the time.

I remember using Blanka. C'mon, man, he was created as an eye catcher for children. Plus, his button mashing electricity (which I later discovered could be used with Honda). I was never able to make it past Vega until I was about 10, though.

To Be Quite Honest:

Not much to do in San Diego unless you're involved in a scene or community (looks at us.) We have the right population, just not the right type of places. Though we do excel when it comes to food.

Check out Convoy, Clairemont... etc. Not a lot of places I can recommend for below 21 year olds. I've barely discovered greater San Diego myself.

san diego is small. its really funny:

oats living right down the street from me, knowing my friends in high school. yet never met him till last year.

havok, so happened to work with someone who showed him my year book pictures. LOL.

edrees, meeting my bestfriend his freshman year at ucsd before i ever met her (4 years ago). this is because she so-happened to be seeing the guy edrees shared dorms with. - i just found this out a month or so ago.

fierce used to make banners for internet celebrities my ex-girlfriend and i associated with back when i was 17.

@ Little Lives: Yeah I lived in SD my whole life too and I don't know much either..... I've always lived in San Ysidro or Chula Vista so I never really had a reason to leave the South Bay! Thats pretty sad..... :(

NorCal has fun events like bbqs or Paintball days in which they don't play smash and just hang out. I'm down with having one of those days with YOU GUYS. Someone make it happen.

This is the coolest thing in the world and I've been reading the discussions people have been making over Chrono Trigger. INTERESTING ****.

I went to a 711 with ten bucks, bought a Slurpee, ranch Corn Nuts, and spent the rest playing Street Fighter 2 (For those who are too young to remember, 711 used to have arcade games...mainly fighters)!!

@Hall: Yeah, man. Laundry mats these days still have old SNK cabinets, usually with an older KoF game, a Samurai Showdown, Metal Slug, and a Soccer game. I see them quite often.



@Oats: Hang out days w/out playing Smash sound like a good idea. Thoughts? Ideas? SD Smash goes to Six Flags?

It's never even been discussed, but I always kind of pictured beach trips happening with you guys this summer.

I already see Gursalug at school.

Oats, Samuelson and I are going to Coachella this weekend.

Selendrile is supposed to throw a shindig eventually.

マイケルさんと私の友達は一緒にミツワマケットに行きましょう。どうですか？　
＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ

We shouldn't get all down on ourselves for only hanging out when we're smashing though. It's something we all enjoy and how we met. There isn't a thing wrong with it. Any chance to hang out with everyone is awesome.

San Diego LOVE, people. <3

And a good **** to you too dude. You are getting better. No shame in staying true to a particular character either. It's all about the match-ups.

Oh that sounds badass! Paintballing sounds pretty sick..... I went like 2 weeks ago and Im down to go again. But it might be a lil expensive though like $55 per person with rental and everything......

Pretty cool site, I'm replaying Chrono Trigger currently so it's cool to see all the indepth discussion.

Anyways, I LOVE paintballing. I'm all for it. Could people here afford that kind of thing?
