Wow. Well, the other day, I had a day where I did really nothing but enjoyed myself. Being completely carefree, I really was able to feel happiness pulsing through my veins like juice. Just kidding. Anyways, on Wednesday, I got together with two of my best friends, DJ, who goes to my school, and Jonathan, who used to go to my school, but moved away a year and a half ago. We left school, got in a car, and headed down to a special movie theatre called the V. I. P. theatre. It’s an awesome place, where all the seats recline. The “concession stands” are really a sushi bar, a bar for sub sandwiches, and another with slushies, donuts, and other sweets. Seriously, it was awesome. After we all got some really good food at the food court in the mall where the V.I.P. theatre was located, we mosied on down to the theatre in which we were going to see our movie, and got ready to watch it. We were planning to see “The Bucket List,” a movie about two old guys, who, diagnosed with cancer and given one year to live, decide to make the most out of their time left on earth. They make a list of everything they want to do before they “kick the bucket,” including such activities as, skydiving, driving Shelby Mustangs on the racetrack, and going to the Great Pyramids in Egypt. In the end, they manage to cross off everything on their list, and have a lot of fun while doing it. They are both changed for the better.
After we finished that movie, Jonathan, DJ, and I decided we weren’t done hanging out together and we wanted to have a little more fun. We went to the arcade in the mall, which turned out being a small, dark little room with many games not working and a shabby feel to the atmosphere. Although it might not have looked good, we managed to have a blast in that little place. We each bought 40 tokens, and we went to work using them on the various games. One good thing about the arcade was that most of the games cost one token, even the motorcycle ones and the driving shoot’em up games. We even all got together and played teenage mutant turtles together, which was a blast. Although the game was probably one of the stupidest I’ve ever played, just being together with my friends made it fun, and we played that one until we got sick of it. There was a basketball game there, which was also fun. In the end, I ended up standing in it and cheating to get more tickets. It’s not like there were any good prizes though. Although there were some pieces of candy, plastic pieces of junk, and a pack of yu-gi-oh playing cards, I don’t think I would have wanted anything besides the awesome sticky penguin I got. You know, one of the ones on a rubber strings that you swing into stuff. Anyways, we eventually ran out of all our tokens, and it was time to leave and go somewhere else. After wandering about the mall for another half an hour, Jonathan had to get back to his dad, and I had to get back to my house. We got in the car, and drove for a while to Tony Roma’s, where we dropped Jonathan off and then kept going to drop me off.
Overall, this was one of the most fun things I’ve done all year, something that lightened my day and that would keep me feeling good throughout the week. And I missed two hours of school for it!
