Tuesday 5/31 -I Dance Dance Revolution!

Today it was raining, so instead of going running I played DDR with my brother. I freakin LOVE this game. When I was in middle school I bought a playstation just so I could play it.

In case anyone doesn't know the game DanceDanceRevolution, it's the game where you use a mat with arrows on it and step on the arrows to different songs. It can get really intense. I attribute my skill at/love of this game to my being a quarter Asian. Somehow instead of the black hair gene I got the DDR skill gene (my brother got the Guitar Hero skill gene).

Reasons I love DDR:

• I'm pretty good at it, but it's still challenging. Through the years I've worked through beginner, light, and standard, and now I can play some songs on heavy-the hardest level.
  
• I feel like I'm at a rave when I play it, and forget that...
• It's really good exercise. With all the jumping my calves are always sore afterwards, and I was definitely out of breath and sweating a LOT. But I played for over an hour without even remembering I was getting a workout.
• The funny Japanese pop music (eg- the song "Sweet Sweet ♥ Magic")
  
• Two player mode lets you play against your friends

I asked my brother today if I could take the playstation to college so I could play DDR at school next semester, and he reminded that I was the one who bought it in the first place. So now I'm really excited about having it at school next year!
