DJ School CANCELLED!! Japanese boys + Tekken = Paulina Swearing Uncontrollably in her Mind

So yeah, I was supposed to go with Kouta to one of his friends' places.. There were going to be like 6 or 7 DJs all spinning and teaching stuff.. I was gonna go and watch and maybe try to do some more beat matching or something..

I went to meet Kouta in Shibuya.. when I got there I met two of his other DJ friends.. Some girl (we'll call her Flakey-chan and you'll see why later) and a guy named Daisuke (Which is one of the coolest names ever btw) First of all, Flakey-chan could not believe I was Kouta's friend.. whether it was because I was a foreigner or what.. but she got this really crazy, super surprised look on her face when I took my sunglasses off and I wasn't Japanese.. Kouta's cool though, he had my back for sure and introduced me and told her that I was really cool and what not.. He's my guy! ANYWAY, we were getting ready to go to this place. All we had to do was pick up the mixer.. However, Flakey-chan had not wanted to carry it around, so she tried to put it in a locker. When there were no free lockers, she ended up taking it to the police box (this little station that the police just sit in and give directions to places from... because the cops here don't really have shit to do because the crime rate is so low) ANYWAY (part of this story is speculation because I couldn't fully understand Kouta and Daisuke's explanation in Japanese, and neither of them speaks English), they filled out a form for her and told her to come back by the date on the sheet before they take it to the other station.. Well Flakey-chan copied the address down of the police box and threw away the sheet. When Kouta and Daisuke went to get the mixer, they said that they had already given it to the main station which was CLOSED! So Kouta called Flakey's phone and asked if she had the sheet they gave her because then one of the cops would go get it for her... (The paper was their only way of knowing that the mixer was hers because there were no identifying marks or labels on it) Kouta was pretty pissed because in the end, they weren't able to get the mixer and we couldn't go to DJ School... So instead me and Kouta hung out in Shibuya.. First we went to play some video games in one of the arcades...

I LOVE Tekken.. and they had Tekken 5 there!!! So of course I had to play!!! So I sit down and Kouta watches as I slowly advance through each character against the computer... then all of a sudden my match agains Hwoarang freezes and in big yellow letter it says "A NEW CHALLENEGER HAS ENTERED!" I'm looking around like huh?? In Japan, the arcade games are made so that you can't see the person you're facing... so you can't copy their moves and stuff.. on the other side of the wall was a boy with all of his friends... He was Bryan.. I was Kazuya.... We fought... He whooped my ass so badly I was gonna cry... I think I maybe landed three hits on him in three ROUNDS!!!!! So ok, I was pissed and put in another coin.. I'm gonna beat this guy I swear!!! So here we go again, this time I'm the little Chinese girl Xiaou... Damn... only five hits this time.... So I go to another machine to play against the computer again.. and there it is again!! "A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ENTERED!" Dammit! Can't I just play against the computer?!?!?! Once again, its Bryan.. this guy is just messing with me I know it.. Anyway, I held out.. we were two rounds to two rounds... it was the final round... I ALMOST beat him, but I missed a power move and ended up with my back towards him.. That was the end of that.. he whooped me so bad that I lost about 3 quarters of my life bar before I even hit the ground... When I got up he punched me twice and I was out... Damn Japanese boys and their Tekken obsession. >_<

ha ha ha So then Kouta wants to challenge me in Initial D.............. he....... he........ he he he
So, I pretend like I don't know how to play racing games... I "accidentally" choose manual transmission and of course my yellow Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution... YESS!! So Kouta thinks hes got a sure win, but I pretty much whooped his ass as bad as the Tekken kid whooped mine... It felt good. Oh Japanese boys... you underestimate us women too much.. ha ha ha

So afterwards we went for karaoke for a bit (WITHOUT THE NOMIHOUDAI!! I have school tomorrow), and after karaoke we ate ice cream and went shopping at a few record stores. While at one record store I found an Underworld CD that I wanted when Kouta drops the bombshell on me..... UNDERWORLD IS COMING TO TOKYO IN NOVEMBER!!!!! I am going to see... UNDERWORLD!!! Now for those of you who don't like electronic music or just don't like Underworld, I pity you for not being able to share my elation.. ha ha ha I'm soooo excited. Carl Cox is gonna be there too.... We're going to go to Electroglide which is an electronic music festival held here in Tokyo every year.. I'm sooooooo EXCITED!!! YESSSS!!!!!!

Now to try and bottle my excitement and finish my homework..... I hate school already...

I have school tomorrow so I have to do some more homework before I go to bed.
