Heehee, I am chatting with one of my younger Thai cousins in Thailand. :D It is difficult to judge how much English he knows and therefore what words and sentences I'm allowed to throw at him. xD So cute.

So it was Christmas! And soon it shall be New Year! Huzzah! Here's a lot of pictures that happened over the gift-giving period. :D



So I spent Christmas Eve with some of Joey's family where I had a fantastic dinner and was gifted beyond all reason. :0 His mother gave me the second season of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force which Joey and I watched together post haste and it was quite funny (first time I'd watched even a full episode, ha). Frylock is my favourite. :D

And Joey gave a me a keyboard.


LOLWUT. When Joey's mum presented me with this enormormous wrapped box (me, having recieved my ATHF DVDs and thus thinking myself immune to further gifts) I just stared at her and waited for her to say something along the lines of "Psyche!". Then I stared at the box. And stared back at her. And again. But the Psyche Out never came and I was only stared back at in turn until finally I just opened the bloody thing.

So now I'm back to relearning to play piano. Rerelearning?

Somewhat before Christmas actually set in, I scored these two vinyl bear doll things!

What are these guys called? I know they have a special name... Munnis? Is that it? I want to look up how other people are customising theirs! I'm going to modify the white one pretty significantly into a toy of my DnD character, Ath (she's a satyr :B). Dunno what to do with Mr.Silverbear there. Suggestions?

On Christmas morning, Jen woke me up and shoved my stocking in my face. I growled at her and tried to go back to sleep. It didn't work though so I got up ten minutes later and discovered a set of poker cards and some chocolate coins. No potatoes this year. :(

UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE
(among other things)

This totally sweet-as calender!

Yes, I realise I have recieved a gift that would not be amiss on a 12 year old boy's wishlist. I dont care, it is that awesome. A paper plane EVERY DAY??? What is this, some kind of crazy dream world where paper GROWS ON TREES!!?!?!?

THIS.

Is that totally hot? y/y?

Inside:



Yes, really every cartoon in the New Yorker. :0 Like, tens of thousands. HOW am I going to get through all of these? Squeebus.

...Thanks, Mum.

After Christmas, the gifting was pretty quiet for a while.

Then today! (Not so) mysterious package! Oh mans!


Is that so?


Well, I can't argue with that kind of logic.

...And the reward! What a reward!

It- It's beautiful. So beautiful.

(Do you want HQ scans, o mighty gift giver?)

It even came with candy!

I've already eaten half of one of them. :x There is no candy more delicious than art candy? That's my excuse?

I'm going to have to frame that art or something. I dunno. Something. I don't know where I would put it. The office? My room? At the moment it is just sort of residing in my art folder and that's obviously not good enough!

And that's not all!

I placed third in the Guild Wars Wintersday 2007 contest with this entry:


I get a keyboard out of the deal. Nice. The space bar on this one's been sticking for years... I also get a miniature Island Guardian (it's a pet for those not in the know...) which is apparently worth, like, 5000k gold on the market. Holy shit. I currently have, like, 30k gold. 5000k is more in-game money than I can even comprehend. Should I sell it? Keep it? Dedicate it to my shrine and then sell it? (That would decrease its value but, uh, it'd still be worth A LOT). Someone advise me, I'm so torn! D:

I think that's about it! Best Christmas Ever. I don't know how I'm going to top it next year. Place second or first in some art competition, get more art trades and Joey buys me, like, a Wii? That'd do it. Yeah. *hintnudge* xD

Or family from Thailand comes over... That'd be nice. Haven't seen them in a year now, is it? Hmmm...



I have work in... 5 hours-ish. Gotta sleep! D: Ohnoes!
