I have five egg cartons now and I have no idea how to stick them on my wall
So a few days before Christmas I went out with Raeann and cattrius to see HSM3 again. :D It was just as awesome the second time. And it resulted in what may have been my best RP app evar.
My church confused the hell out of me by moving the Christmas mass with the kids' pageant to Christmas Eve. This was incredibly off-putting because my family had a tradition of getting up Christmas morning, having breakfast (Christmas ham! and like the one time in the year we buy some nice cheese, ie. Edam and Camembert instead of just Tasty), opening One present and then going to mass. This year, we went to mass, went back home, and then went to a party at ten o'clock at night. What kind of party starts this late, you ask? One that starts after Christmas mass at the Cathedral. It was with Karori Filipinos, so it was lousy and I just sat in a chair playing TWEWY the whole time. (I now have all the Secret Reports. What now?) Although by the time we got home it was past midnight so I finally opened my presents from irish_pylon. :)
Christmas morning was therefore extremely relaxed instead of the usual rush to church like it usually is. So we somehow ended up doing presents around eleven. We had our 'cousins' over for much of the afternoon, which was fun - Tish got Guitar Hero; us kids all went to the park - but they all left around seven because half of us were going camping the next day.
Camp was alright, I guess. Went to Kaitoke, aka Rivendell, but I was already feeling worn out from Christmas for some reason and then I was feeling crappy because hello there, time of too much information! The weather was for the most part beautiful, which meant that my friends spent the vast majority of the time running around playing soccer/volleyball/badminton/cricket/sparkly vampire baseball (I wish I could say I was kidding, but I overheard Kyra going "we are so like the Cullens right now!") while I couldn't be bothered moving. Yes, I spent one afternoon chilling in the car doing quizzes from Cosmopolitan: The Ultimate Quiz Book. On the upside I did mostly finish the sketch for that one Shiki and Eri picture I was working on, and I managed to win the Game of Life at one point, heh. (This new version of the Game of Life is so weird with all its added features.)
Santa: Atonement DVD and HSM3 soundtrack
Parents: Laptop :P and The Highlights of RENT OBC CD
Raeann: The Tales of Beedle the Bard - JKR
Family in the Philippines: Drum brushes; two shirts - "I eat adobo" and "marunong ka ba mag-Tagalog?"
Ninang Gracie: Light pink possibly leather (probably not) pencil case and diary
Tita Portia and Ninong Dennis: Pajamas, whoo (no, seriously, they're kind of cute, also I think it is now warm enough to wear them)
Nicky and Rachel: Purple T-shirt (s'cute!)
Various party Secret Santas: Towel, Looney Tunes car seat...thing, that you hang over the back of a car seat and put stuff in?
irish_pylon/Gabi, for the Facebook exporters: HSM3 wristband AHAHAHAHAHA (my first wristband that doesn't Mean Something; unless I take the SONG High School Musical and overinterpret), HSM2 diary (is it sad that I could tell this by the photo used.), Magic: The Gathering cards, handcuffs two links from a handcuff necklace (Chris, they're not for your knuckles), and a necklace. I can't work out what the main gem on the pendant is because I'm a little retarded, but it's amber, the color, Citrine topaz pendant and then there's diamonds on the bail, say what. ._.;
cattrius/Chris: HSM2 Troy necklace :P
mad_as_soup/Sophie: Indonesian drumsticks (so now I have two pairs of drumsticks and no drums.) and baked goodies
nix_the_fish/Nicola: Queer magnetic poetry set (I censored out all the sexual words before putting it by the fridge)
ladycariad/Johanna: Rainbow spinner
Mrs. McKenzie (my Latin teacher of the last three years): Small badge (and by "small" I mean "if there were two I could use them for cuff links :D") of Hadrian
Every time I end up on the Vic site (new dilemma: Full or combined majors?) or think about student loans or Mom harasses me to get a job or something, I keep thinking, when did this happen: When did we grow up? When did we finish high school? When did this become a relationship? It's like life has gone, "here, you're a little adult now", and I can't make lemonade out of that.
On a less "LIFE IS SRS BIZNESS" note, today I saw A Chorus Line. It makes me want to dance again. It makes me want the theatre again (good thing I'm majoring in it >_>). And I now think of Ms. Darbus as Cassie dyed blonde and moved to Albuquerque. It could totally work; Cassie has no surname and Ms. D has no first name.
