Today, I went to Viet's house, along with Jordan, Ivan, and Khai. Viet has a pretty pimp room. In every other aspect, it's a pretty normal room for a teenager. A maze of clothes everywhere that require you to walk on your tiptoes. A computer half-buried under stacks of paper and wrinkled notebooks. Mysterious stains everywhere. Yeah, pretty normal for most teenagers (although my room is pretty tidy).
But what made Viet's house really awesome? IT'S TWO STORIES TALL.
Well, not two full stories. It a loft more than anything. But god DAMN, is it cool. I didn't take any pictures because I didn't wanna shame Viet by posting pictures of his bedroom on the Internet, so take a look at this picture.

See that? Yeah, imagine that bedroom, except if it had blue walls, was right next to a laundromat and an Office Depot, and a category five tornado ripped through all three buildings. Then you'll get a rough idea of what Viet's room looks like.
Anyway, what were the four of us doing in Viet's model of an apocalyptic wasteland? Just playing Super Smash Bros. Melee and a bit of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
For FIVE HOURS STRAIGHT.
Jesus Christ, I don't know how we pulled off that long of a gaming session, especially since Viet's sub-par room ventilation and lack of an electric fan meant that the room hit 10,000 K two hours into playing.
By the end of the day, most of us were close to fainting from heat exhaustion, except for Khai because he left two hours early and because his pores are all blocked from when he fell into a vat of molten plastic as a child.
Oh, Viet has a REALLY cute dog too. It was a mixed corgi and it was REALLY FAT. When Jordan and I first entered Viet's house, it just barked at us as if it was trying to be a guard dog. Except we knew it couldn't ever be a guard dog because it was SO PUDGY. When it waddled out from behind the corner of Viet's house looking like a tiny furry hippo, I just died because of how cute it was. Whenever I got the chance, I tried to play with Viet's dog (I think her name was Marcel?), but she just ran away and hid behind stuff whenever I got near her. One of the people in Viet's house (I'm assuming his brother) claims it's because their dog isn't too social, but it seemed to like Khai a lot so I think it's just a racist.
If that's the case, she's the most adorable racist that I know.
RFotD: While racism can't technically be present in animals such as dogs because it requires higher brain processes that they don't possess, animals can be conditioned to react with hostility towards people of a certain appearance, either through poor socialization or from a former abusive situation with a person of a specific look. In short, they can "act" racist because they predict people's behaviors based on past negative experiences.
SGAT: I was supposed to work on my anniversary story today but I never got around to it. Too much Melee.
