resolution

jeffy and i made a bet yesterday and he was supposed to write something here about our mario party last night, but he hasn't written anything yet, so i should say the following:

my friends who have played with yoshi know that his anger for peaches is surpassed possibly only by my loathing for mushrooms. so a great opportunity was there to bring her to a scathing defeat last night at the hands of yoshi, but the game had other plans. in mini-game after mini-game and battle after humiliating battle, peaches trounced, burned, smashed, waxed, and otherwise served yoshi his breakfast.

he was no match for her mad skills, yo.

more important is the transformation that took place as the game unfolded. i realized that rather than being a character to detest (for beating yoshi into last place, two games out of two, on mario party 2 and mario party 3), peaches embodies the grrlbot characteristics that i most love about myself: she kicks ass all over the board, yet remains cute and charming!

it feels great to rid myself of this pointless internal conflict. i have finally won the ultimate mario party battle - the one with myself. at last, i love peaches.

i think tonight i may try mushrooms.
