    the day after christmas is my birthday, for context. on christmas, i got a copy of mario kart DS. i was SO SO excited. i didn’t have a DS, but my friend did. we would pass it back and forth. they came over that night for a birthday sleepover, and we had so much fun! we were both a little disappointed that we couldn’t play two player but it was fine. the next morning, on my birthday, i woke up to a brand new DSI, and my friend and i started to play mario kart together!

    that was quite awhile ago, they were 8 and i was turning 9. we’re 18 and 19 now, and still get together to play mario kart 8 deluxe. it’s been a pillar of our relationship and if i know if i ever have a horrible day, if nobody wants to be around me, they’re down to play a round of mario kart.
