I Remember When We...

met - wait acutally I don't...was it in class or were you originally a friend's friend?
played magic cards during lunch time in junior high because all the cool kids were doing it
went to frank and sons to buy fan subbed anime and when we played it it would say "if you bought this you got ripped off"
shared an AOL account since it was so expensive then would split what hours we could sign on during the day (anime43196 & ayeh97710)
left our computers on all night to download 15mb anime intros and endings and then swap our collections on zip disks
brought our computers and monitors to Mike or Eugene's house to play AVP, then starcraft, then warcraft III
would spend hours and hours at James games playing D&D Tower of Doom, Virtual On, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter 3, X-men vs Street Fighter, Puzzle Fighter, Pocket Fighter, Project Justice, Marvel vs Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, and finally Marvel vs Capcom 2
left to Rowland Heights for lunch always believing we could make it back in an hour, and then when it takes more then an hour we'd just ditch the rest of the day
carpooled to senior prom and ate at Waters in Irvine - which was the highlight of prom since the actual prom was in a tent...on the beach...and it smelled like seaweed everywhere
all drive down to Irvine Boomers! (forgot the original name before Boomers bought them out) right after high school graduation to play laser tag
all gathered during spring/winter/summer breaks to hang out during college
lived together the summer of my last year of college and staying up all night playing DOTA and then laughing at Romes for watching Prince of Tennis
went on your "one meal a day" food run of TWO six dollar burgers......
went dragon boating for a month - and my arms finally said no more
went on a double date at the Brea mall with the girl you met at the beach bonfire and her friend
ate lunch twice a week when you went to CSF - not because you wanted to get annoyed by me all the time but because my office was so close to CSF and you wanted free parking
talked about starting a World of Warcraft comic strip, I think you still have all of our notes and ideas
gathered for the "Halo 3" lan nights at my place and you would get forced to use the crappy joystick
 
last talked online after you came back from Hawaii about the new World of Warcraft patch and how hunters own now that they removed the dead zone
 
parted ways the day of your accident - and I will always remember and cherish these moments that we've shared
