OK, I've been really really really behind on the confessions thing I was doing for my skool friends on my Myspace. So I wrote down a bunch tonight. And I'm posting them here too!

( confessions )

Any ideas of what else I should confess? Or... Just ask me a question that I can answer. Anything, I gotta finish this.


OH! I also wanted to share some stuff from my brother's Myspace. This is my favorite of his confessions: "When I'm bored i've been known to go on Yahoo Answer's and answer kids math homework questions just for the fun of it... yeah I'm a nerd"

And also pictures. I got mad at Dustin for taking pictures of me when I'm sleeping. Grated, I do nap a lot... But come on! He took a picture of me napping at Thanksgiving, napping in the back room after playing video games, and napping yesterday in between Christmas meals at Grammy's house. >.<

But check out this picture he took of Kong:

Christmas Eve was fun! We ate meatball subs and then opened gifts. I got Dustin a board game, but mom outdid me and got him Hungry Hungry Hippos, and he was way more excited about that game. :( But it's okay because mom got me Pretty Pretty Princess, which was the board game I always wanted as a child, but wasn't allowed to have because "no one will want to play it with you."

Mom also got me a DSi, which is really exciting because now I have portable internet! Dustin got a new TV for his appartment. His old one won't work because it doesn't have a converter box.

So anyhoo! After we opened gifts of COURSE we had to play with them. We all played about a dozen rounds of Hungry Hungry Hippos. We were very competitive. It was hillarious. Then we played Pretty Pretty Princess, which was even more hillarious because Dustin and Dad wearing cheap plastic jewlery is qyute funny. I won the game though. I'm the prettiest princess of all. :D

Today I slept in, and then layed in bed playing Phoenix Wright - the second one. The last case, and then Edgeworth shows up and I went "yay!" *dork*

When Dustin got off work and came home again, we all went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas number 3. I got Grandma a snuggie and Grandpa a golf cooler. I think they really liked their gifts. :D I'm a good shopper. There I got the pants I picked out and the purse I wanted. *hugs purse* You are such a good purse. My 2 dollar flea market bag has served me well these past 5-6 years, but it is time for an upgrade, and you are fantastic.

Tomarrow we go up to Grammy's house for Christmas-es 4 & 5. I'm excited to see Derek and Erika again. Maybe they'll play Pretty Pretty Princess with me too!


Here's Toon Zelda for pasqui.

He and BB were the only ones who told me what they wanted for Christmas. BB's will come later. If you don't speak up before the end of the week, Christmas is over. :o

I realize I spam this song at Christmas. It's my favorite Christmas song:



But then check out this song:




The similarities kinda amuse me. :D


I'm excited. Christmas Eve is when my house celebrates Christmas and opens presents. I can't wait for Mom and Dad and Dustin to see what I got for them. ^_^ Dustin is even coming down from Indy to celebrate with us, even though he has to drive right back because he has to work tomarrow morning!


I've been making Christmas cookies. Check this out:



The only other shaped cookies I've made are smushed reigndeer and teddy bears. Plus one semi-rounded cookie that I'm planning on decorating to look like Yoko's head. I'm gonna make her hair with icing, her skull clip with a marshmellow, those hair stick-things with pretzels, and I'll probably paint her eyes on with food coloring and a toothpick. That's my project for later today. I wanted to make her in cookie form to go with my Kamina Muffin.

Yesterday I went to visit Ben and give him his Christmas gift (a T-shirt in a Superman tin) and we watched TV together. Ben said he hasn't been in the Christmas spirit, so I suggested watching Christmas specials and guess what was playing right then? The Phineas and Ferb Christmas special, of course. I had already watched it but he hadn't so I made him watch it because it is grand.

Why is the only P&F community on LJ totally dead? :(

Anyhoo! Time for a Phineas and Ferb Meme!

First, some follow up to the last post. I responded to the person in English. I figured that at the very least, they would know I tried. Most people on YouTube don't respond back anyhoo. But they did comment back. This time they wrote "日本語でおｋ" which, once again according to Google means "Japanese with K" and Babel Fish means "With Japanese K."

Part of me wants to let it go. It's a person on YouTube who thinks your video sucks. But I cannot help my intense curiosity!

And while this is happening I'm starting to get really nervous about my trip to Japan. It's only a few weeks away and I know nothing. I'm the epitome of a stupid American tourist. I can say "Konnichiwa" and "Sayonara." *headdesk* Even if I am going to be with a group, I'm going to be so lost.



But on a different note! I've been replaying Sonic Adventure 2. It's so weird. I was obsessed with that game in Jr. High. Sometimes I hear the music for a level and have a flashback to my Sonic the Hedgehog days.

And Christmas always makes me want to play Sonic games. I dunno why. Maybe because I got most of my Sonic games for Christmas? Maybe because the song "Run Run Rudolph" makes me think of Sonic for some reason? I dunno. Whatever.

Sonic Adventure 2! It's been so long! You have your annoyances (camera angles) but you were a good game.

Tails! I luv you Tails, you were always my favorite. It's nice to hear your voice again. And by "your voice again" I mean "your Sonic Adventure voice, which is far, far superior to your voice in following games."

Rouge, I can't say the same for you. You sound so girly in this game. Your voice doesn't change much, but the little extra sultriness you add later is an improvement. I luv the jazzy backgrounds to your levels. A lot of people didn't like your and Knuckle's treasure hunting levels, but I did. I thought they were really fun.

Speaking of Knuckles, I liked your background music too. Yes, I am aware that it includes really really really cheesey rapping. I still like it. The space/meteor level in particular I luv though. I think I might have used that music as a background to a webpage I made back when I made a lot of webpages and putting music on your site was cool. Or maybe I just downloaded it and listened to it while making a webpage. Whatever, that level music gives me serious up-at-five-in-the-morning-because-it-was-the-only-time-I-had-the-internet-to-myself-surfing-the-web-and-drawing flashbacks.

Shadow. I didn't like you much at first. You were so predictable and tried too hard to be the antihero. But you are kinda cool </i>looking</i>, even though in this game you say some really lame things. Like in that fight in the jungle, and you say "I'm the coolest," after I hit you. Seriously? But it's okay, because after your own game makes me hate you even more, somehow Sonic Heroes and Sonic Chronicals (especially Sonic Chronicals) managed to make me like you. And now that I do like you, playing as you is better.

I luv this game so much. It's fun. <3

	Mood:	confused

OK, so I've been putting some of my doodles up on YouTube, I've posted a few here.

I've been trying to reply to every comment I get. I haven't got many, but most are short and nice and easily replied to with a quick "thanks."

I put up the video of drawing that Touhou character for babybahamut. And I got a comment that I have no idea how to respond to.

絵下手ですね^^

OK, so, Google translates this to: "It is bad paintings ^ ^"
And Bable Fish translates it into: "The picture it is unskillful, the shank ^^"

So I get the jist of it. I hope.

I'd like to respond with something like: "Thanks for the comment. I'll try to improve."

But I don't know how. Should I respond in English? Or should I try to translate it into Japanese? I don't know Japanese, should I find someone who can translate that, or use an online translator? I know online translators can screw things up.

The language barrier is a pain sometimes.

At a risk of sounding lame and cheesey and repeating myself, I love my family, and I love being at home with them.

We had the first of our many Christmas get togethers. Today was Dad's side of the family's lunch at the country club. We used to all get together at Great Grandma GG (Dad's Dad's Mom) house on Christmas Eve, and it was always a really fun time. But after Grandma GG died, it became sort of awkward. Now one of our cousins plans it, and we have it in a usually cold room in the clubhouse near the park, and dinner is catered by the staff there. It's not as friendly as a living room with home cooked food, but it is nice to see family that we don't get to see that often.

I enjoyed talking to my cousins and aunt. It was a good time. :)

I normally carry a supply of toys in my purse. Little stuffed animals, usually from Happy Meals. I had Butterscotch Pony and a little green pirate skeleton (apparently) from the "Pirates of the Carribean" movie. The youngest in the family there, a little first grade girl, found them and wanted one. Originally I gave her to pony, but then she changed her mind and "traded" me for the pirate. I was a little sad because I've had that pirate in my purse for years, but it's so hard to resist little kids. Especially family. Especially at Christmas. So I let her have it.

She threw it at everyone there. I regretted giving it to her. I think everyone else there regretted it too. Ooops. I'm sorry, but I just didn't have the heart to take it back.


We came home, I played some animal crossing. I took a nap. Then we all ate soup and watched Pawn Stars on the History Channel.

Dustin left to go back to his apartment and work. Dad is watching Survivor in the living room. Mom is in the side room playing her DS in between Neopets games while watching Survivor with sideways glances.

I think I'm gonna go play the Wii. The internet connection here at home is a bit slower than at skool, so I just don't spend as much time on it as I do when I'm there.


Tomarrow Aunt Pam and I are going to the nursing home to clean Great Grandma Z's (that's Dad's Mom's Mom) room. The staff there cleans it regularly, but she feels better if we do it. Besides, we need to flip her mattress and switch out her sheets.

My Christmas gifts are all bought, I just need to wrap them. I <3 wrapping.

Ever since seeing "The Princess and the Frog" I can't get it out of my head that Tiana and Snow White would be BFFs.

Tiana would make stew and Snow would bake pies and they would both whistle while they worked. And then they would fix each other's hair into stylish 1920's bobs. <3

i really don't know what creature of hades made me pop by. you know you missed me.

you can tell this is going to be a serious post by the serious exclamation marks in the subject line. tread with caution.

i suppose i have been thinking. (ahaha, that's a good one!)
i think i shan't drink any more. not the hungover 'i'm never drinking again' sort of thing, rather... drinking isn't very enjoyable, really. i have some sort of distaste for this popular perception of the coolness of drinking, and the relaxation it brings. god i sound like a nagging parent, but i'm content as things are, and i'm never really stressed to begin with... it's only ever awkward when other people are - i don't need the alcohol in me to dance, let go or what.

thus i conclude, the calorie intake and dehydration (dear god, it's as miserable as being in an air conditioned room all day, my skin just feels like its going horrible) is really not worth... making other people think you're more relaxed.

i'm still as anal retentive and calm as always. drink or no.

so yes.

yeah, that totally wasn't what i meant to start with but whatever, i like to ramble, and god knows whyever the hell anyone would voluntarily read this shit.

people are interesting.
sometimes it makes me regret not picking a careerpath somewhere closer to that, but i suppose it would be harder to find a job that /doesn't/ involve people. and people in the people industry are all very into how serious and academic things should be, and my knickers aren't nearly twisted enough for me to handle that. (don't get me wrong, you people people, i love y'all)

i get offtrack so easily, i think i could probably enter nanowrimo (sp?) if i were more dedicated, but as you know - that's not going to happen. i can't even update a blog twice a year, let alone write some doorstop-worthy book in a month.

i watch her struggle.
it's all relatable and distant. i understand her, and try to him.
his behaviour is most bizarre, but he's not alone in such erraticsm - which makes me wonder, what is this gap?

private affairs should remain so, and such questions brought up in public will most likely be shunned... that is not to say there is no answer to the question at all, given a different circumstance. gifts can bring happiness (hold that thought and let me finish) - gifts are about giving - a random gesture as small as a post-it in the fridge, posting a letter, little 'no-reason, but i saw this and thought of you' things (imo anyway) are miles better than a monetary measure of how much you care (see, you gamble flaunting an expensive - as opposed to thoughtful - gift, that falls beneath her expectations of an expensive gift, thus creating a rift between what she thinks you should value her at and what she thinks you value her at. christ. and if she hates it, it ends up being a guilt gift where you're in some sorry pit, she loves you for trying but is disappointed you got it all wrong and then it gets all iffy about how you tread around this honesty/hurt feelings/is it too vain bs that you best avoid) - and this thought/monetary balance needs to be carefully considered for special occasions.

good lord i accept we are difficult, but i think we know it?
whereas under some sort of guise of being simple, they are so difficult to understand.

half the time, i can't offer more than consolation - as any guise of advise is just a vague guesstimate.

perhaps our paradoxical whims are difficult. no shit.
but is there no double-standard, where we are hated for nagging, clinging... but if we don't, our honesty and dedication become suspect.

ok wow way too boring to go on but it is confusing, and i never know what to say...

wouldn't it all be simpler if we could ask the right questions and get an honest answer without the fear of being shut down.

soz if you are still reading this (you poor soul), this is a terrible thinking entry. i haven't done it in a while, hence the bs pile - well actually its always a bs pile, but y'know.

promise next entry (ahahahaha happy waiting) will be trashy. some more quotes maybe.

	Subject:	Advertizing.
	Security:	Public
	Mood:	sleepy

For all the advertizing I've seen for that "AVATAR" movie, I don't really have any clear idea what the hell it's supposed to be about. From what I've gathered a guy goes to a planet and turns into an alien and there's a big battle. But I don't know why or why I should care.

I had been thinking that if they wanted me to know they would tell me in one of their advertizements - why should I have to look it up? But today curiosity finally got the better of me and I googled it.

OK so the alien guy is a spy or something and there's a love story. I still don't feel any intense desire to see how it plays out. But my dad seems to want to go sometime, and I'll pretty much see any movie as long as someone else pays. :P


So dispite their efforts, I still don't wanna see it. But all the advertizement does make me want to reread "The Hork-Bajir Chronicles."

It's been years since I've read the book, it might not be as OMG AWESOME as I remember. I wanna find out if it holds up to the test of time because I remember that I could not put that book down. I thought it was the best piece in the Animorphs series.

Fun fact: Any time I think of "epic space battle / love story" I will always think of "The Hork-Bajir Chronicles" first.

:D

So on Monday Meghan and I went shopping. I needed to get myself some stuff to give to my Grandma to give to me for Christmas (she asked me to) and since Grandma got upset last year when all I bought was toys, this year I got pants. Meghan dragged me into every shoe store in the mall (gack) but I figured I should tolerate it because she was going pants shopping with me. I am the worst person to shop for pants because I hate everything. The goal is to buy the pants that I dislike the least. Then as I wear them I get used to them and learn to like them. I managed to snag to pair of pants and a new purse (I really needed I new purse.)

While we were in the mall we stopped in the Disney Store and had a fan-gasam in front of the "Princess and the Frog" toys. Then I decided that I could not wait any longer and we must see this movie. So we decided to go as soon as our last final was over.

But then Wednesday after our last final I texted Tess if she wanted to go, and she did but couldn't make the 5:00 so we had to wait for the 7:15 show.

BUT IT WAS SO GOOD!

When Meghan was driving me there I was so excited that I kept making uninteligable high-pitched squealing noises that Meghan somehow was able to understand. Then we got there and had to run to the theater to get the best seats.

So Meghan, Tess, and I were all squeeing like five year olds after birthday cake all through the previews.

And then the movie happened and it was wonderful. Meghan sat between Tess and I, so whenever Tess was overly excited-happy she would shake Meghan's arm. And everytime I was overly excited-happy I would headbutt her other arm (my hands were unavalible to shake her - I was hugging my legs throughout the whole first half of the movie.) She took so much abuse. :P

Then afterwards we just squealed in the parking lot in a rather unsucsessful attempt to get rid of our excess excitement. If anyone had been around to hear us we would have sounded terrible. Every other word was just a noise of some sort - squeal, laugh, grumble, gasp, squeal...

Seriously. That movie is beautiful.

And then I came home and of course Dad was a little sad that I saw it without him. "You know I like cartoon movies! I wanna see the allagator. :(" And then we played Lego Batman on his XBox. I was Robin, and he played Batman. I had never played before, so I died a lot. But he died too, so I wasn't too upset.

And then before I went to sleep I picked up my "Pokemon: Leaf Green" to play in bed. I never actually finished it because I got distracted by other games. But I beat the Elite Four.

So yeah, a pretty good start for my break. :D

I HAVE AIM AGAIN! My new screenname is "piggieofdoomsday"

Instead of working on my take-home final for Media Law, or studing for my Non-Western Lit final tomarrow, I've been making icons. :P I can't help it! Once I start, I just can't stop. It's so mesmerizing and soooooothing...

Icons, icons, icons... Oh, and sliefoxx... if it's not too much of a pain, would you mind pimping these out to the Hetalia fandom, pretty please?

Most of the animated ones use the same template just because I made a LOT of them and couldn't think of anything clever. :(

OK, OK, I'm gonna work on my final now. It's all about copyright. I've read the questions, they all seem pretty simple.
