Ohhhh my god the past... week. The past week has been so busy, and... social. This kind of stuff is so foreign to me haha. LET ME START FROM THE BEGINNING.
-----

We had to clean the house and decorate for Christmas and stuff. Mind you, we like, NEVER DECORATED MUCH BEFORE. EVER. Too lazy. But at least we hung SOME lights up this year. c: I spent hours moving boxes, vacuuming floors, and stacking miscellaneous papers/books/etc and making things look neat. It was fun actually, because we ACTUALLY HAVE A LIVING ROOM FLOOR NOW. I was proud since I clear the entire living room within about an hour. %B

As for actual Christmas celebrations, first we met up with my mom and Ken to exchange gifts. After that, some of the cleaning happened, then on Christmas day we had my grandma and my cousin over for dinner and gift exchange. It was nice.

Then a few days after THAT, we had my dad's friend Clarice and her two girls (one is 19, the other is 10) over 'cause we had some gifts for them 'n stuff. We're also going to have them over for New Years lol. The eldest daughter, Annelyse, likes Pokemon (only the original 151 though ;A; ), and games and stuff, so we got along.

Yesterday, dad and I went and picked up my grandma, and my dad's friend (nicknamed 'The Goo' to have a sort of late Christmas dinner thingy. Good food, laughs, etc. We went grocery shopping after that and I saw this one betta fish and he was so pretty. Followed my finger 'n everything. ;_; I would've bought him if I though I could handle taking care of another fish, but alas. And that's pretty much it so far.
It honestly feels odd to me to be like... active and semi-social. I don't know if I like it yet. I'm such a strange sheltered little person. xD At least I enjoyed the cleaning, and Annelyse and I made fun of Marth's hips in Brawl, so I suppose over all this is good fun stuff for me to be doing, amirite?


As for my personal normal activities (aka GAMES AND DRAWING), i've become re-obsessed with Harvest Moon: ToT again, thanks to *Nukenai talking about getting Animal Parade fdjgfg. My daughter in my girl file can finally walk. SHE'S ADORABLE AAAAAAA. And all Owen has to say about it is "DUH I WONDER IF SHE'LL WANDER OFF AND GET LOST HURR DUHH DURR". Smart. I also started a boy file so I can marry Candice because she's adorable. I just have to finish rainbows first so that she'll move onto the island goddamnit. I ALREADY DID THESE THINGS ONCE I DON'T WANNA DO THEM AGAIN.
I've also been playing Lunar Legend for the GBA like crazy. I bet none of you have heard of it. You might've heard of Lunar Silver Star Story derp derp though, because Lunar Legend has the same characters and storyline, as far as I can tell. It's a fun game, if not a little dorpy and basic for an RPG. It's worth it just to see Nash be an idiot. Also been playing Pokemon Ruby, but that's nothing different for me.

Oh! I also forgot to tell all of ya what I got for Christmas~ I shall list things here now.

- New. Mp3 player. Oh god I love it so much, It's a shiny dark red sony walkman and I still need to name it. But oh god I have 820 songs on it and it makes me feel cool and happy. Hopefully it won't spontaneously DIE like my other ones have.

- Candy, fudge, etc

- AMAZING 'A Christmas Story' PAJAMAS FROM MY MOM. The pants say "You'll shoot your eye out!" all over them. BRILLIANT.

- GPS thing. No idea how to use it yet, but it's the same one that my dad has, and it was apparently super cheap so AWESOME.

I had a clusterfuck of a dream last night, but I don't remember enough of it right now to tell so MAYBE LATER. I'M GOING TO BE BUSY CLEANING TODAY TOO HNNNGHHH. Hope you all had a good one, and uh... stuff. LOVE YOU GUYS.

Oh god it was... oh god.

Me, dad and *Nukenai. She's visiting or something. Not at my house, but we're ALL STAYING AT A HOTEL FOR SOME REASON. And apparently, this hotel has an anime/game/etc related shop in the lobby. The hotel is fucking huge, and we're staying in the middle of it which IS A LONG WAY FROM THE LOBBY but anyways. We both get up in the middle of the night and are like, "shit, man. let's go shopping."
The store is open 24 hours a day too OTHERWISE THIS WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
This is when things get sorta retarded. I decide that I should check the place out first, so I tell *Nukenai to wait until I come back from checking it out. SO SHE DOES.
I go down the billions of stairs, hallways n shit, etc.

When I get to the store it looks nice. Lots of stuff. some of the stuff I remember I saw later in the dream with *Nukenai, but i'm just gonna list it all NOW.

- Medium sized Haunter plushie. I wanted to get it for someone but didn't have enough money. (I think it was $160 oh god wtf)

- A bunch of giant sticker sheets, 4 OF WHICH WERE FROM FFBT, 2 OF WHICH HAD RICHARD AND SABLE ON THEM SFHJDF. One of the other ones had misc. people from Magical Do Re Mi on them. Wat.


Aaaaa I don't remember anything else atm. If I think of more later i'll list 'em but MOVING ON WITH THE DREAM.
So yeah I check the place out, then call *Nukenai or something I dunno, and she joins me and we start lookin' around the place. When we started looking through the sticker sheets, the one with FFBT bros caught my eye and I was like "HOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT GO BACK. LOOK." and then she was like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RICHARD" AND WE BOTH JUST KINDA STOOD THERE SCREAMING ABOUT IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. No one seemed to mind, either. fskjdfkdgf. After that we walked around and looked at the other stuff for a while. Suddenly *Nukenai starts having a mini coughing fit so WE GO OFF TO THE SIDE AWAY FROM PEOPLE OR SOMETHING, and i'm all "you okay? D:"
And her response was "ARE YOU OKAY? *TACKLE*". And I was like "OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK" and she was like "shh maybe if people think we're dying they'll give us a drink."
NICE SENSE YOU GOT THERE, *Nukenai. She was right though. Someone reached up out of a hole and gave us a cup with barely anything in it. FUCK YEAH?

After that it's kinda fuzzy for me so I don't really know. THE END!

Yep! Merry Christmas (or whatever you happen to celebrate)! I don't remember what year it was (might've been '07) that I like, listed some of my closer friends on here and thanked them and stuff, so I think i'll do that again, except a bit shorter this time since we still need to finish cleaning the house. <A< Onward!


*Nukenai
Naturally you're first. DUH. Despite any arguments or any point where we probably wanted to kill each other, you've helped me more times than I can count. When I started talking to you more than just "omg richord n sabul r GAY!", I was very desperate for good friendship, and I was plagued a lot of the time, still reeling from my parents divorce. Also dealing with my ex-best friend, who wouldn't listen to me BUT YOU KNOW THIS.
As far as i'm concerned, a best friend isn't gotten solely by how long you've known them. It's how you act with each other and how much stupid retarded bullshit you're willing to take for them, and from them, and I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'VE TAKEN A LOT OF BULLSHIT FROM ME BY NOW.
Anyways though, I really can't thank you enough. No matter how whiny or bitchy I may get, please don't forget that you're my best friend, and I regard your opinion the most. LOVE YA BRO!


~Korten
It's strange typing this now since you're off at bootcamp! Either way, I will send magic awesome brainwaves, telling you Merry Christmas. AND LETTERS. But on the subject lol.
You were my first dA friend. THAT CAN'T NOT BE SPECIAL. I mean geez, i've been on this site for like 3 1/2 years now. It's not the longest, but it's still a pretty long time. You've helped me and cheered me up many times, and you've told me i've helped you many times. That's what a good friendship is, isn't it? <3 Best of luck (again) in bootcamp!


*PuhshPuhsh
Ahaha, I still remember when I first saw your Hylia sketch in the "newest deviations" section. I still like that. :'D
You're one of the few people I know that likes to have a big, long, interesting conversation. This reminds me that we really need to talk more. You also give really great advice. You're one of the best listeners I know. <333


*PoliceKitsune
AAAAAAAA YOU~ You're such an interesting, hilarious person. The fact that you love Nuke's and my story helps too. ;3; I've always liked your art style, and really love how much love you put into your characters and stories. The way you write is always fun to read!


*K0N3K0
Ah I know we don't talk as much anymore (damn you timezones), but I still think of you as a good, close friend. ;v; Remembering the JAF days always makes me happy. And even after JAF sort of died, I still love your art, and you always seem to make me laugh~
After it's done being hectic around here, maybe i'll stay up a bit later at night and see if you're online. <33


~Saber-chan
Afsdfdsf~ It really was a great idea for me to get an MSN. It's worth it just talking to you. ;A; You're such a nice person, and you got me all into Layton and bros enough to make me want the first game! It's always so much fun to talk to you and watch stuff with you and just everything~ You're another person that really knows how to make me laugh. x'D
And the fact that I got you into Inazuma helps too~

No, America. BAD AMERICA. I TOLD YOU THIS WASN'T ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. *smacks* BAD. NO. VERY BAD.


Anyways uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah how are you guys today

That's how long we were out and about. Driving, shopping, dropping of presents. 8 HOURS AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. It was fun sort of though. Like we get to the post office and both dad and I are all, "we're probably going to be in here for an hour oh god". THEN WE GET INSIDE AND THE PLACE IS EMPTY. It was glorious. Went and got food, bought shit we probably didn't need (meaning VIDEO GAMES YAY), said Merry Christmas to pretty much everyone we were in contact with hahafsdhsfa.

OTHER AWESOME TINGS INCLUDE my mom buying Mario Party DS off of a kid at the auction for $10. Just holy shit. It costs like, what, $25, $30 in stores? JUST DAMN. GOOD JOB MOM. Got WarioWare Twisted! today because I can't stop playing this shit someone help me.

ALSO ON THE SUBJECT OF INAZUMA 63. GOD IT'S ABOUT TIME. Though if some of the newfags leave the team I will cry in a corner. It's not fair that first they're like,
"oh you love these people? HOSPITAL. have some new guys you don't care about!"
"you love the new guys now. isn't that awesome? NOW MAYBE THE THEY'RE GONNA LEAVE!"
Better not happen goddamnit. The team can't stand to lose Tachimukai the squishy puppy, and their retardation level would drop too far if they get rid of Tsunami. 8| BUT ANYWAYS.

Tomorrow we get to clean the house. And maybe go more places I don't even know anymore, because my brain is melted. THEN CHRISTMAS HAPPENS, have family over, eat food, PRESENTS, etc etc. %D

SOMEHOW I'M ENJOYING ALL THIS. What about you guys?
