My Christmas! ^_^
Mood:; Listening to: “Heart of Sword”

Hey guys!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas yesterday!!! Mine’s was great!! Let me tell ya all about it!! *gives ya’ll popcorn while you listen*:

Well, me and my brothers woke up at like 7:30 I think (funny how we’ll wake up early for Christmas! :P), woke our parents, yadda yadda, yadda. Lets get to the fun stuff! After everyone was up and awake we opened our presents. Before I tell you what I got, let me tell you what I got my family. I got Nick a Yugioh:Duelist manga and a Resident Evil action figure of…uh…this guy:




I never played RE4 so I forget the names easily. ^^;;; Anyways, I also got my other brother an InuYasha manga (he’s just now getting into the anime stuff) and a Nightmare Before Christmas wallet (he needed a new wallet. ^^). I got my mom this Sudoku book with a bunch of Sudoku puzzles in it. (BTW, if ya don’t know what sudoku is, it’s a Japanese number puzzle game. Its really addictive too. I’ve played it tons of times already! If you wanna try it out, visit this site) Okay, and my dad. My dad is a collecter of action figures from movies and stuff like that, especially if they’re made bt Todd MacFarlane! McFarlane makes THE best action figures in my opinion. Anyways, that’s besides the point. ^^;; (Me and my rambling! :P) I got my dad this action figure (actually it two but they came in the same box.)from the movie “Alien VS. Predator” and its made my McFarlane so I knew he’d like it. ^^ Here’s a picky of it:




Just look all those details!! Like, I said, THE best action figures!!! :P

Okies, now on to my presents that I got! Okay, first I opened a present that my brother got me, which was one of those ‘How to draw manga’ type of books. That was really cool. That was all until I opened my stocking and there was another present in there. It was the ‘God of War’ video game!! XD I was very happy! But not as happy as I was when I opened my next present!! See, there was this one big present next to the Christmas tree (didn’t fit under the tree!) but it didn’t have a label or anything on it so me and my brothers didn’t know who’s it was. Not until my dad said that it was mine! I was like, “Nuh-uh! You serious!?” And was like, “Yea.” So I start opening it. Couldn’t figure out what it was until I had it completely unwrapped! When I did, I was like very happy cuz I had been needing one of those! XD Anyways, it was an artist-table thingy with an adjust-able tabletop and 3 drawers on each side! I’ve been needing one of those cuz I can’t use a flat table-top. I always need it at a diagonal so when I’m drawing, I was always on my bed with a pillow on my lap and my sketchbook on top of the pillow. And that gets uncomfy after awhile. But now I can actually sit at a desk and draw!! XD Yay!! Haven’t had a chance to try it out though since we only got to set it up last night but I will soon!! XD Oh yea, we got a new PS2, too. Our old one was totally broken and worn out (I’m guessing) and it wouldn’t load most of our games. But now that we have a new one, we can actually play them again! ^_^ Oh and our old one was the first version of the PS2, which was very big and bulky but our new one is the second version which is so frikken’ tiny compared to the first one! Before I opened the box to hook it up, I thought it was just skinnier than the first version, but its actually smaller than it too! I was totally surprised at how small it was! So anyways, I hooked it up but we didn’t get to play it since we had to get ready to go to my aunt’s house.

Over there, we ate (well I ate) tamales and sausages. There was some other food, too but I didn’t get none of that. After we all ate, we opened more presents. My Aunt Rosie and my Grandma Gloria got me a $50 gift card to Hobby Lobby. (Hobby Lobby is where I buy my art supplies in case you don’t know what it is.) My aunt Lamar came to Dallas from England to spend Christmas with us, so that was awesome! ^_^ She’s cool. Anyways, she gave me a card with $40 inside it! I guess she can never figure out what to give me but hey, you can’t go wrong with money! XD My Aunt Sylvia got me a new 11”x14” Sketchbook and some drawing pencils. Wow, now I have two small sketchbooks, and two large sketchbooks, plus a pack of Bristol Board! I think its safe to say that it’ll be awhile til I’m gonna have to buy more drawing paper!! :P Yea, as you can probably tell, my family totally supports my artsy-ness! ^^ Last year, my Aunt Rosie bought me Acrylic paint, along with paint brushes for my birthday. And for Christmas last year, my Aunt Lamar got me a leather portfolio! Yea, its been like this ever since I took a painting class my senior year in High School. My dad even gave me his paint brushes which he used when he was in HS! Anyways, I’m getting off-topic again, aren’t I? Sorry about that! ^^;;;

Okies, after all that, we stopped by my grandma Susan’s house to drop off her presents. After that we went to the movies and saw ‘King Kong’. Wow, that was an AWESOME movie!!!! XD Even if you haven’t seen (or even liked) the original King Kong, you’ll still enjoy this movie very much if you like action. Man, I have no nails left after watching that movie!! lol

After that, we went back home and my brothers enjoyed their new video games. Nick got Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and my other brother got Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Lol, remember when I told ya’ll about me playing the first Battlefront game? Lol, I bet I’m gonna have tons of fun with this one!! ^__^ While they did that, me and my parents set up my desk. We had to re-arrange some of my furniture though. I hate moving furniture but we had to so…yea. After that, I watched this anime my cousin let me borrow, called ‘Blue Gender’. Its totally weird!! 0o And I only watched the first 3 episodes! 23 more to go! ^^ Its really good though.

Overall, my Christmas was great! But I didn’t get the one thing I truly wanted for Christmas. -_-’ That’s the only thing I’m sad about. But I’d rather not go into details on that since I don’t wanna be such a downer. I hope all of you had a great Christmas, though! ^^

I have to go now. Plus, this post is getting super-long so I really do need to go!! ^^;;

See ya’ll later! ^^//



Oh yea, BTW, I posted up my Legolas drawing Saturday night so plz check that out when you get a chance. ^^
