The Mike Haddad Show: This is relevant to my interests.

This is an entry I was planning on writing on last Thursday but never got around to it. I'm going to call it "My Melface", simply because that's what it's about; My Melface (melishrelish). I love my Melface, and it makes me sad to how sad she is right now. I think it's funny, in a kind of twisted way. She's upset about how school isn't working out for her. On Thursday when I was walking to Health Services for yet another blood test (Or was it the tuesday before that?) I was thinking about Mel, and how I would give anything to have her drive for school. She's so dedicated to everything she does. I always felt so horrible when I worked with her.

For example, in grade 11 she put so much work into our Shinto presentation. There aren't even words to properly explain how excited she was about this. For good reason, we blew the competition away. Let me try and explain. Barone's (saradit) group was doing Buddhism. At the time Barone claimed to be practicing Buddhism. They got something like 81%, or 89%. We got 100%. Mr Campbell looked like a kid in a candy shop. We had stuff printed out on TypeWriter paper so it looked like rice paper. We were in costume. We had music. We performed our best rendition of a Shinto Rice Festival, and then after that we showed a video clip Josh(joshu_wa) made when he visited that gorgeous water shrine on his exchange. I had pictures from when I visited a forest shrine. We had sushi for everyone to eat. Literally, best presentation I've ever given. I don't think I will ever be able to top that (although the Japanese Final Project was tons of fun too). Mel and Kaitie (visualdarkness) literally are the reasons I love Japan at the level I do right now.

I had always thought Japan was cool. It was to be expected, I played video games. The summer between grade 10 and 11, at Mini U I was first introduced to Ayu. I hadn't made much of it, other than I loved her (the coordinators girlfriend, who was previously one of my councellors) was teaching in Japan, and had burned some stuff onto a CD. He played Evolution for us. I had no idea what it was, but man I loved it. I forgot to ask him what it was though, and she was out of my life for a month. I managed to remember to ask Mel and Kaitie one night when I was going to the movies. Thats when I was given the name: Ayumi Hamasaki. Well, you know how that turned out. Just wait until I can find more of her CDs. Eugene was the one who introduced me to BoA, who I also love dearly, but she's no Ayu. Ayu has a special place in my heart, and I owe it to Mel and Kaitie. That's not the only thing Mel's done for me.

Mel is the reason I play DDR. I had never played it before. It was her Christmas party that she had with her and Josh. Now just look at me. There are probably 10 or 15 songs that I can't play. Why? Simple: Mel got me hooked on it. Literally. Ashleigh and I played all the cheesy like 3 step basic songs at the christmas party. Same thing at new years. I finally managed to buy it over March Break. By that point, I was screwed. There was no turning back. I dove right into that. I had to. I needed to catch up to Josh and Barone. Boy did I catch up. That's what happens when your little asian girlyfriend gets you addicted to things.

It makes me sad that I can't help her. She was always super fun helping times. I tried my best on the CS culminating (which we all proceeded to fail anyways, because he didn't tell us he was going to throw gargage characters in. NullPointerException! NullPointerException!!), without getting us exploded for copying. I wish I had done more. Luckily Mel is a walking brain so she managed to stil lhave a higher average than me anyways, and blew all the UW people away. She got in. So now it makes me sad that she's going to leave. I think I'm going to have to do my best to help her. As soon as I stop failing my own midterms, I'm going to study her courses in my extra time so I can help her. She's worth it. I love you Melface <3.
