   Have a nice Christmas Eve
Hey everybody. How's it going?

I just got back from church just a while ago (still waitin' for dinner! >:P).
At first I wasn't too happy about going, mainly because I was informed 5 minutes 'till we had to leave and seriously needed a shower (I had been on a bike-ride).
On top of that, I wasn't exactly ecstatic about going to go hear a story I've heard over and over and OVER again. I know the how, when, where and why of the birth of Jesus (just as most people do or should).
But, it actually went better then I thought it would. It was only an hour, and it was actually mostly music, so it was alright.

So how is your Christmas Eve going? Any special events or plans tonight?

I've been in an artistic dry-spell since we got out of school on Tuesday. It's sad, because I never have time for drawing during most of the school-year. On top of that, all my dad wants from me is a drawing (of him and myself, *rolls-eyes*) for him. So, unless I do it tonight, it won't be done on time.
Another problem is there were 2 pics I wanted to draw for this Christmas, each a present to the two of my most special friends here on The Otaku (I'm not tellin' who they are, though). It'll feel weird if I have it ready to submit for them after Christmas, so I need to work past this thing and get them done.
I really want to do these pieces, because these 2 people need to know how thankful I am for their generosity and friendship. Though their not the only people here that (more then) deserve at least some kind of showing of gratitude from me, these two in particular have gone above and beyond what's expected in a friend, and I need to show that I'm thankful for that.

I hate to be such a downer of Christmas Eve, so I'll try to cheer up for you guys.
So, what are you hoping for as a Christmas present?
I sorta' doubt my parents will give me the only thing I wanted this year (an internet connection for the computer in my brother's room, so he'll never have to bother me again). But, here's hopin', neh? ^_^'

Before I go, I'll give you a special Christmas treat: I've found a spectacular artist on Deviant Art (a site I only recently gained access to, thanks to my mom finally un-blocking it :P), and I think you'll be particularly interested in her most recent artwork submissions.
Her name is "risachantag", and ever since last Wednesday she's been submitting a piece of artwork each day for a series called "The 12 Days of Fandom".
Each piece is an anime equivalent of a verse from the carol "The 12 Days of Christmas".
So far, she's got days 1 through 11, and will submit the final piece tomorrow on Christmas Day.
You can take a look at this wonderful Christmas-themed series of anime art-pieces here.

Have a nice Christmas, everyone.
I'm off to visit your sites now.
See ya' tomorrow.
