I have not mentionned Gotcha on this blog since I described my daring escape from Marguerite, but things have developed a lot since then. Slowly but surely, the number of people participating in Gotcha have disappeared. Now, I am one of only two people left. My opponent is Skyler: a sixteen year-old computer science student. There have been a few close calls in this nail-biting game between the two of us. On one occasion, I had just returned from Wal-Mart (where I went sans toilet paper) and I had just entered my room to reclaim my safety item. I was untangling it as I walked out, and he rounded the corner. Fortunately, I simply had to step backwards into my room to be safe.

More recently, he came walking around the corner and was missing his safety item since he had recently been in the shower. I was playing Tales of Phantasia on my GameBoy Advance in the lounge, and I did not notice immediately that he was not wearing his safety item. I gave chase, and I tagged him as he straddled the threshold of his doorway. I think I should have won, but he disputed it. This will only increase his humiliation when he loses.

Now, in order to spice things up, Yee Han - our don - has decided to add an additional safety item to the mix. Not only will we have to walk around with a roll of toilet paper around our necks, but we will also be required to wear a shower curtain as a cape. I fear that if this continues, I will be wearing a shower curtain, toilet paper, and holding a plunger as a sceptre while writing my midterms.

Keep your fingers crossed people. Pray for my success.
