CHRISTMAS!
So last night was pretty fun (like I said, we went to Jim and Val's). They have 20-year-old twin daughters, and two older sons, so I was talking to their daughters for a while. One of them, Jennifer, had just had knee surgery a few days before, so she had a really hard time getting up, and she was getting lonely in her room, so Whitney (her twin), Mary (a nice woman from Chicago) and I were in there all talking for a while. Jennifer was kind of giddy on valium, so she was saying some weird stuff and looking as if she were about to pass out. Sharon was there, too. The first time I met her, she gave me her card, and we were going to talk again. I saw her a few times at the college and felt a little blown off because she walked right by me and said nothing. I lated figured out that it was her memory. Bill was trying to get off the hook once while talking to her at work, so he handed his phone to me and said "Say hi to Sharon!" (he lives with her). It took me like ten minutes to get her to remember who I was. And then last night, she came up to me, shook my hand and said "Hi, I'm Sharon Roark!" and I kind of stared at her in disbelief and said "Yeah, I remember you."...then she asked from where XD
Anyway, enough about that, on to the presents and all! I got:
- A Jack and Sally fleece (I think it's fleece...) blanket
- A PULLIP!!!
- Radiohead - The Bends
- Edward Scissorhands DVD (in the most lovely tin case - it's an anniversary edition, so it's got the nice little case, and a little folder of movie pictures, too!)
- Napoleon Dynamite DVD
- Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover's Soul (everyone thinks I'm into horses now...great)
- Prismacolor pencils
- A sketchbook
- 75$! (25$ from my great-uncle, 50$ from my grandma...I CAN BUY ANOTHER PULLIP!)
- Jack Skellington pens
- A turtleneck
- A sweater
- Candy
- Melon lotion
there you can see...my hands XD

sketchbook
turtleneck (it's black, the flash on the camera made this picture particularly bright)
ND DVD
Radiohead CD!
The lovely 15th anniv. ES DVD <3 the case is just beautiful! the picture on the lid is embossed, so that accounts for all of the shiny bits in the picture
my new prismas, with really neat cover art
because the preteen edition that my other great-aunt got me some years ago was JUST not enough! >_>
I also went absolutely mad, taking pictures of Greggia, who may be Lucia, unless I decided that I just don't like Lucia anymore.
this is her real size, maybe x 0.2

Greggia and lamb friend, again. The lighting in this picture is decent. My dad says she looks like a giant bug with that ram hat of hers. I agree.

There were a few more pics, but they looked very much like a few of these, and the ones I put here are better. I'm definitely going to make a pullip lj. Maybe today!
