For a friend's bday, we went to Lemans Karting. I'd watched other friends kart there before, but hadn't done it until tonight (Sat nite).

Those karts are bigger than I thought they would be. My feet barely reached the pedals. I messed up and wore backless shoes, so I spent half the time on the track trying to keep them on my feet. I raised my right leg on the right turns to drop the shoe back on my foot, and I used the straightaways to re-adjust my feet on the pedals. My hair was in my eyes 'cuz I'd forgotten to bring a hairtie. And I was sweating like I was at the gym. I thought I would get bored and feel tired after several laps, but the time flew by. The next thing I knew, it was last lap. I came in just behind the pack of guys. I guess I did well... for a girl. Arghhh. Always beaten by the guys...

The experience cost me a goddamn 56bux. But I had a lot of fun. 56bux worth? Well, I probably won't be back for awhile...

After dinner at Chevy's, we headed over to one of our friend's place to open gifts. The group gift was a DVD player and two DVDs of pr0n (aka porn). The bday guy also got two Girls Gone Wild DVDs. We watched one of them. It was pretty bad. (Side comment: I was more of a boob fan in the past. I've recently become more of an ass fan.)

We headed over to Tapioca Express afterward. There's a side room there where people can pay to play computer games with/against each other. Our seven guys played Counterstrike for about an hour. Again, the time flew by. These games look like so much fun. Why don't more women like to play them? I'd really like to play, but I'm so far behind the guys... It would take me forever and a day to learn how to play. And even then, me at my best would would probably be worse than the worst guy. I'd always die first, and that would get old very quickly. If more girls got into these kinds of games, we could get together and play at more of the same level, perhaps...

Karting, pr0n, LAN games... Such a man's world this is. If you're a guy, you should thank your lucky stars.
