Belated Merry Christmas, Livejournal. It's 7:32 in the morning and I'm still awake thanks to that good ole' Christmas euphoria (and the effects of a couple of naps for good measure). This Christmas was definitely one of the best I've had in a while, despite my mom forbidding me from putting up our tree. Something about this year's holiday made me really anticipating it in a way I haven't in years. The wishlist I constructed was very fulfilling. For the past few years, I simply constructed a quick list of stuff I had some interest in owning over the years. It wasn't very satisfying. In all honesty, I did the same thing this year, but it all came together anyway. [I have no qualms in admitting that Christmas is all about gifts to me. It may be a commercial holiday, but it's great nevertheless.]
The first celebration of the year was at my friends' Secret Santa gift exchange. This event was hosted at Anna's house. I drew Dave's name, while Sean drew mine. I bought Dave a book called Mastering Judo. Sean got me my very own Fortune Cat, like the kind Jeff has.
"FORTUNE
CAT BRINGS VERY BEST WISHES MAY HAPPITY AND HAPPY HOCKS BE WITH YOU"
The party was pretty fun (much more enjoyable than I had anticipated). The only foolishness was Andrew being a jerk while we were playing Scattergories. The funny thing is that he had a valid point in our argument (not that I necessarily agree), but he had been really antagonistic towards me for the previous 15 minutes and I was not taking it. The argument about TV stars was the straw that broke the camel's back. But at the end of the night, we still hugged. Overall, the party was pretty fun.
For the past couple of weeks, I've been telling Melissa I was going to only give her $10 (seeing as she wanted money to contribute to her buying a new camera) that would be split into three cards to make it seem like a better gift. I actually did those but with $50 instead of $10. I know that's not a lot, but I'm jobless and poor. My parents gave her $40. We both pitched in to buy my mom Tetris DS so she can play it while she waits at WSU to pick me up.
As for what I got:
-Nintendo DS (From parents, bought from Justin)
-Pokemon Pearl (Parents, bought from Justin)
-Feel The Magic (Parents, bought from Justin)
-Final Fantasy IV DS (Parents)
-Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (Parents)
-Rayman for the Playstation (Parents)
-The Forest on VHS (Parents)
-Journey to the West (Parents)
-Wii Points to buy Wario's Woods (Parents)
-A sweater (Dad)
-Civilization 2 Gold for Mac (Melissa)
-Forrest Gump the novel (Melissa)
-Gump and Co. the novel (Melissa)
-Pokemon Blissey Control Championship Card Deck (Melissa)
-$25 Borders Gift Card (Benji and Rebecca)
Thanks to everyone who made this Christmas great. Sadly I couldn't make it to the Nichols' party because we went to Melissa's family's shindig after dinner. I love that family just the same, though.
I still need to update about the past year. I tend to put that kind of stuff off until I'm in a writing mood. Oh well. Take care everyone!
