   Christmas Wrap-Up (with Christmas pics!)
Hey everybody! How'd your Christmas go?

Sorry I haven't seen you guys since Christmas Eve, but I've just sort'a had my hands full with dealing with my family and what-not.

The question I see most people asking is "what did you get this holiday season?", so, I'll go ahead and answer that.
This year, I received:

-2 cool new T-shirts.
One is just a cool-looking advertisement for an instrument and equipment shop, and the other has the cover from the Beatle's album "Abby Road" printed on it! (I like the 2nd one the best! \^o^/ Go Beatles!)

-An MP3 player that plugs right in to my USB port!
It only holds 128 Megabytes (a 5-minute song is about 5 Megabytes, in my experience), so it's not as spacious as an i-pod, but I honestly find this more practical.

-A holder for said MP3 Player.

-A bunch of my favorite candy, which are (of course) Hot Tamales and Butter-Fingers! Anybody else love those?

-And last but certainly not least, my favorite gift this year was:
RESIDENT EVIL 4!!!!

That's right, bitches! My parents actually loosened up and got me this jewel of action/survival-horror gamming!
I couldn't believe it! My parents are usually sooooo strict (as you all of course have learned from my constant pissing and moaning) with video-games and TV, so it blew my doors off when I found out they got it for me!
My dad even came in and sat down and watched me as I played. He was cool about everything, even all the nasty, zombie-decap's that Resident Evil is so famous for!
I naturally returned Josh's copy to him when I saw him yesterday (Shhhhhhhh! Don't tell my parents I had RE4 before-hand! ~_'). Josh and I went to Boarder's (rather then B&N's, since they've been PICKED CLEAN) yesterday for our regular manga-run. I hope I can do one more with him before school starts again.
Ooh, and by the way, I got one extra gift this year! My mom finally removed the blocker for "TV-14" from my TV! 8-D Yes, that's right! I can finally watch Inuyasha, World's Wildest Police Videos and Fullmetal Alchemist without being told it's "restricted"!
Ugh! I haven't been able to see many of those great shows since the summer of '04!

OK everybody, I got some Christmas pics for ya'!
We took our tree and minimal decorations down yesterday, but on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I was able to take some sweet pics of my house!

Check these out and tell me what you think:

The base of our tree on Christmas Eve. It's so pretty!


Another one of our tree. ~^-^~


"The stockings were hung by the fire with care.."
The first 4 of those stockings were made by a friend of my mom's (my mom made the 5th one).
From left to right that's my dad's stocking, my mom's, my stocking, my brother's, and my sister's.


Another pretty picture of our living-room on Christmas Eve.


Waitin' for Santa!


A close-up of our tree. For some reason, the pretty Christmas lights didn't show-up in these. I love those Candy-Ribbon Ornaments, though.


Another close-up. I just love our tree!


We have a ribbon atop our tree, rather then the usual star.
I'm not sure weather that's OK or not, since there was no "Ribbon of Bethlehem" to guide the Magi. XD I'm so corny!


We have a gas-fireplace, by the way. Believe it or not, the fire was on when I took this photo...
o_o' Could my hose have a vampire gas-line? XD Sorry! I know, that one was corny to!


My mom got exactly what she wanted this Christmas: A "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" DVD! I've wanted to see it so badly!
My sister also got an eerily realistic robot-dog toy, as shown here taking a nap. His name is Scamp, by the way.


A stack of my loot on Christmas afternoon. I really want to get all those ugly stickers off my RE4 case! XP


This is my grand-pa who came over the other night. Since his name is "Warren", we've just called him "Pa-Pa" (pronounced "paw-paw, if you were wondering) since we were little.
Anybody here have a nick-name for a grand-parent that's carried over 'till now? Any "Mee-maw's", "Opa's" or "Gram Cracker’s" out there?
On an interesting note, my grand-pa served in the FBI when he was a young man! He's worked with many important cases, some of which included espionage!

I have some more photos to show you, but they're of the rest of my house, my room and what-not.
If you're interested in seeing what my work-space looks like, I'd be happy to show you, but I won't bore you to death if you don't.
I even took a picture of myself I could post, but I'm not sure if I'd want to put it up here. I'm not exactly the coolest-looking dude out there.

So anyway, tell me if you're interested in seeing what my room looks like. I'll get the photos up in a day or so if you are.

I'm gonna' go comment on your sites now (like my usual dumb self, I've already read your posts, but just haven't commented ^_^').

By the way, have any of you seen ElvesAteMyRamen's most recent submission?
Heh heh, Harley's such a cute doggy. I gotta' go do my art-review shpiel for that pic before I fall behind again!
Oh, and as soon as her wonderfully creative mom is finished, Erin-chan will hopefully be posting some pics of her new kimono! I can't wait! I'll betcha' Erin's gonna' look so pretty once it's done! ~^o^~ Maybe she'll even take some pictures of Yukiko as well!

OK everybody, I'll see you tomorrow!
