Mario Kart champion of the world

See. I told you I'd get something written on my holidays. Not only have I been working on my novel a bit (I've just realised how mammoth a task it is, I tried to get it all on one large sheet of paper, just the outlines, and I think I'm gonna run out), but I've also got some blogging time :)

We went on Mario Kart Wii online last night against the rest of the world. There's no chat facility or anything, but I'm pretty sure the other drivers grew to hate us...after all, I started to hate them pretty quickly :P I'm not racist in the least, but when Pierre from France (and yes, that was his actual game name, or Alex (DAMN YOU ALEX AND YOUR OVERTAKING AT THE LAST MINUTE!!!) from the USA start ramming you off the road, you find it easy to hate them not only as a people, but as a country. This is how wars start.

.....but it's all an enjoyable hatred. A friendly competativeness....atleast I assume it is. You never know if Alex took me destroying him in the first two races took that as a fun gesture. I guess I'll never know.....unless by some freak coincidence they're reading this...or you know them. If so, and you want to smacktalk with the British guy who kicked your ass, then bring it!

It was weird though. We played 'til 5am, but only ever came across one other person from the UK. Even weirder was the fact that only one person from Japan was on. Maybe the online system isn't as popular as they'd hoped???? (P.S if you work for Nintendo and want me to recall that last statement then please send me crap loads of free stuff :D )
