*hugs* Thanks for the comments, my dear friends!! Merry day-after-Christmas! XD Thank you for all of the great holiday wishes and everything. Ulterego, bonitachika, Shizuka, and Eternalparadise, it was great hearing from you again!! Ulterego, I swear, it's been forever! *hugs* Thank you, thank you to everyone. Alex, another wonderfully long comment. I loved reading every sentence of it. ^_^ Hehe, Misuzu will stay with me and keep me happy indeed! Amila, I agree...counting sheep never works. ^^; Anyhoo, I see that most of you have/had different Christmas traditions of you celebrate it! Very interesting. Well, thanks a bunch to all of you again.
I finally broke the circle...I SLEPT last night. T__T Ah! I just hope that that trend continues. It was probably because of being tired from not sleeping the past few nights and because of waking up earlier (against my will) yesterday morning to open gifts. I had lots of weird dreams...very strange...I only faintly remember the one that I liked, but I remember the ones I didn't. -___- Oh well. They're only dreams, right? But those are the first dreams I've had in probably 4 nights or 5! The other nights I haven't slept enough to have any. ^^;;
So yeah, it's the day after Christmas now. No, I obviously didn't post yesterday. I figured that I wouldn't be missed much, and I also figured I wouldn't have time. XD Anyhoo, I'll start with Christmas Eve. Like I said, my family opens gifts from relatives (distant and immediate) on Christmas eve. So that means gifts from my brothers, my dad, and my aunts etc. [my mom is essentially "Santa" so all of those are opened on Christmas] So yeah, that night was....pretty crappy. -__- *sigh* We were opening our gifts, and then my mom started crying...and crying... :( Because she was getting that stupid f-ing reaction to the wrapping paper. See, her "allergies" to this stuff aren't like sneezing and blowing her nose, they're worse. They make her face burn, swell, make her eyes feel like closing...crap like THAT. That's why this is so serious, and that's why it's also so stupid. She is now allergic to almost anything with chemicals or paint (so that included the wrapping paper). So yeah, the eve wasn't very fun...it was more sad cause I was just trying to comfort mom...and she was crying, and my dad was yelling...
Well...yeah, so about the gifts I got then...I got Loveless Vol.2 from Corey, 2 movies from dad (the new and old version of "House on Haunted Hill"; when i first saw the original when I was 7 or so, I was scared to death!! XD), crap from my poor aunt [we tell her not to even give us stuff...she can't afford anything]], and a very special gift from my Aunt Laurie (my dad's sister)--it's the one and only heirloom from my great grandma, her diamond wedding ring. O__o I was so surprised to get that...I've never even met my great grandparents (they died before I could), and I barely know my dad's side of the family. It's an honor to have that...but I'm also like, "Why me? I don't deserve it!!" But yeah...oh, and here's the colored version of my Nami drawing for my brother. Some of you saw it already so thanks. My brother loved it, and it's now hanging on our wall. XD Please comment/vote! Pirate Nami Colored Version Hosted By theOtaku.com.
Now to Christmas (sorry if this is getting long). I'll cut to the chase--the gifts. I ended up getting less than past years, but it's fine I guess. I didn't ask for anything so I should be happy with everything I got. I mainly got clothes: a few new jackets/sweaters, a pretty new black skirt, a new robe, new pair of Uggs, socks, and underwear. Oh, and some shirts (like a Haruhi one, though I don't even like the show). XD As for other stuff, I got some manga (5, if you count my brother's gift, and one repeat volume that needs to be taken back/exchanged), adorable Aria gashapon figures (sooooooo cute!!), and well, a tablet for zeh computer. I've wanted a tablet for a while...and I finally got one...BUT, yes, ye ol' "BUT"...it didn't work. It didn't work on my computer. :( My brother D shared the cost of it with my mom, and since he's the "computer whiz", he tried getting it to work/install. He ended up bringing it over to his place, and it worked...so apparently my computer needed some updates. He did that, and then it WORKED, yay. BUT!! (again) It's not made very well. -__- It has this plastic sheet/cover that is the part you use the pen on...and when you press on it, it cuts into it! So I already have permanent ridges in my tablet. *sigh* Oh well. I'll keep trying it, I guess.
Aside from gifts, there was also the usual Christmas jealousy, frustration, arguments, disappointments...you know. The crap that just comes along with it. Parents arguing, brother being jealous or disappointed or something over what others got...frustration with my mom and her allergies...*sigh* I haven't had a "joyous" Christmas ever. There's always something that goes wrong. And I was still feeling nauseous yesterday, too...I must still have some sort of virus or something...either that, or my depression has just led me to be permanently sickly. -__- Sorry, anyhoo, this is getting long...and I doubt you have the time to read more! But here's an amv. It's a fun dance one with the Fallout Boy song, "Dance, dance." It's really well made and fun to watch. Enjoy!
Sorry!! Long post!!! But I had a lot of stuff to talk about, right?? ^^; Sorry to waste your time...I wonder if many people will visit me...maybe not...but thanks so much if you do. *hugs* I visited some people yesterday, and hopefully I can get to more today. Thanks, and happy holidays!
