@Pent: Thanks!

@Genpop: I'm literally the worse gift-giver ever. :z I never know what to get anyone...

[Nichi]

To be fair, I actually find it easier to shop for you guys, as well as my sister and brother-in-law, than it is to shop for my parents. I never can figure out what to give them ^_^;

Ah, so it wasn't about chess. *shrug*

It's the same system...different game.

@bella: my idea was that everyone who was participating would submit a list of 5 gifts (under a set amount, $15-$20 bucks i think would be good) that they'd like to recieve. since idk what to get half you people either. (only reason i found the ones i did was cause i tripped over them.)

@pent: i'm sure we all have people like that. i threatened to buy my grandpa a fruit-of-the-month club subscription if he didn't tell us what he wanted for christmas. xD

EDIT: for nej~

So, grabbing blind bag MLP and Mario figurines at random, I ended up with Yoshi and a gold Applejack *w*
A nice hail, I must say

So, something amusing in my e-mail from Amazon. Apparently, since I purchased .hack//Outbreak, they say I might be interested in buying .hack//Outbreak

Nicely played -w-

That is probably the stupidest thing I've heard all day. Hopefully, it doesn't pass, if it hasn't been shot down already

Amazon thinks I might want "EA James's Music of 50 Shades of Grey"

Did I ever post that EU comic about a "modern Europe" that could've given Nazi Germany a run for it's money?

[Chocofreak13]

suddenly, red/blue, backwoods, non-kinder-egg-having america doesn't seem that bad. :\
but yeah, there's no way that'll pass. it reminds me of that manga 'ban' they passed like, 2 years back, that most artists ignored.

i had such a great day today! first, class went rather slowly, but i got there on time and without event, and the teacher even praised some of my work! ^^
then i met mel in front of the subway station. we got down to the platform, and who was there but victoria and ashley. i saw victoria in class but i hadn't seen ashley in months so i ran up and hugged and talked. ^^
we got to mel's school without event, and it's in a really nice area! i got off the train and instantly smelled chicken soup! i didn't get to eat my lunch before attending melissa's class, but the class itself was quite nice. the teacher didn't mind my being there, and i even participated a bit. plus, mel bought me some goldfish, and ended up finding a dollar coin in the change slot, so in effect we got the goldfish for free. she also checked out this awesome tablet pen for me for use with the computers there, whose monitors are BASICALLY WACOMS ON STEROIDS. i got to draw directly on the screen, so fun. >w<
after her class, i had to pack up kinda quick so i didn't get to finish much of my second drawing. ;^; but me, her, and her roommate/friend (and my friend too now~) sarah split my lunch and chatted. afterwards we went to the basement (where we got the goldfish) and got me a root beer (FINALLY! A PLACE THAT SELLS BARQ'S!).
on the train, we eventually made it to arlington, where we dismounted and went into the public gardens, which i had never been in before. it was stunning, breathtaking really. willow trees everywhere, rolling greens, and a pond big enough to boat on (and people do during the summer!). soon, sarah and mel were at the water's edge, throwing stale pretzels to the birds, causing DUCKMAGEDDON. i look away, and suddenly there are like, 30 ducks in front of us. then the swans came. and the ducks parted (either out of respect or fear; i pictured 'Ride of the Valkyries' playing). and the sparrows flew in. and people were laughing and taking photos, and i took photos and video. so many ducks. >>;
once DUCKMAGEDDON was over with, we searched for what we came there for: a good tree. mind you, all of the trees were good. but we needed one with the right light that didn't have any people around it. eventually we found one (i think it was an elm or ash?) towards the front of the park that was perfect for what we were doing. and i got to attack a tree. so i punched a tree today.
after that, we walked through the park, and found a large, circular planter filled with roses. in the background, a spanish man was singing and playing the guitar. it felt like something out of a movie. after a moment, we walked across the street and through another park, till we found park street station. but before we went in, we took some photos of some rather lol-worthy statues, all of which looked like they were taking giant dumps. xD went into the station, and the entrance didn't have any pay stations, so i couldn't fill my charlie card. mel tried to let me through with her student pass, but it wouldn't go through. i was just about to hand them my charlie card when this nice young (black) man handed me his card. ;v; sadly, the terminal i used it on seemed broken, so it didn't go through. i handed it back, and another guy hands me his card! i used the other terminal this time and got through. sometimes, people are just so nice. ;v;
i said goodbye to melissa and sarah (with promises of IMs and Facebooks) and headed for the red line. one sweaty ride later (where a guy let me have a free seat, so nice!), i was at the station, and running, and huffing, and puffing. and i was on the bus, and unloading, and cracking a soda and calling mum. and chilling out. felt so much better to sit and relax. we got going, and when the bus driver saw the horrendous midtown traffic, he took an unorthodox route, starting southbound, ending up at the airport, looping around. i had never seen some of the parts of the city before, so it was really eye-opening. i took some pictures when i could, and when we got onto the main highway i took even more. the sunset made everything look so interesting. ^^
despite the traffic at the start, and a teeny slowish patch around exit 44, everything went well with me arriving there and getting picked up by mum, and sat down for a small dinner with the family at my grandparents' house. the potato and corn were good, but i wasn't sure what to think of the meat portion. overall though, it was good, and i got driven home by grampy afterward. when i came in, i ordered a pizza (mum had given me money, not enough, but 97% of it), and found that my dad had interfered in my room (turned off my power strip, closed my window, unplugged my heating pad). despite this, i was determined to have a good night to follow up the day, so i ate some pizza, drank some soda (ordered a coke with the pizza, but i'm saving it), and wrote all this. -w-

TL;DR - STELLAR/KICKASS/GREAT/FUKKIN' SWEET DAY! punched a tree. want to have tea after class with friends sometimes. my dad's a douchebag.
