Just a little place to write about my life... so sorry that there will only be sushi in the picture above, or if I write about it in a post.

Just as planned...

Okay, so I have to tell you all about something hilarious that happened last night... EXACTLY as I had hoped it would've happened.

So my family was playing Mario Party 9 last night (that's not only me, but my mom, dad, and brother CitrusStorm as well). We got to the boss battle halfway through the Toad Town board, and my mom, at CitrusStorm's suggestion, picked the one with the whomp. For those of you unfamiliar with this particular game, each of the players chooses a number (0 or 1), and the platform will rotate according to the total number the players have entered (4 players = 90 degree turn per number). When the platform stops rotating, the player in front of the whomp gets crushed by it falling forward, and everyone else gets to jump on its unprotected back to damage it (I'm resisting a Sony Press Conference joke...)

So the first round starts, and everyone picks a one... this means that the platform takes one full rotation, and stops with CitrusStorm right back where he started, which was in front of the whomp. Smush. After everyone was done attacking it, it was time for round two, and this time... nobody entered any numbers. Meaning that CitrusStorm was AGAIN crushed. Then round three rolled around, in which the whomp, angry, added a "2" to the total. Somehow, only two players actually entered any numbers, meaning--you guessed it--one full turn and CitrusStorm was crushed AGAIN. Fourth round! Whomp adds two more! Only two people add a number! You guessed it! :D Crushed for the fourth time.

It was by then that we had laughed enough at this bizarre occurrence and quit the practice mode.

But as it is, this was pretty much how I had predicted this game turning out (I was trying to deduce what numbers the rest of my family would be pushing and played along with my suspicions... turns out they were correct XD). The actual playthrough was different than the practice (he only got crushed about once or twice), but we all still had a great laugh over the absurdity--and improbability--of the incident.
