Ouch, man. That stinks! Perhaps the guy fell asleep at the wheel, but I'm just guessing.
I'm getting Lego starwars for the Wii!

Me and my mother are going on a family vacation to a winter resort place with the rest of my side of the family tomorrow. My father would come with us, but then he'd miss his family's vacation, so he's coming later. I'll be gone for about a week.

Our Christmas trip got cancelled on account of the holy crap snow attack that we've had these last few days. I'm perfectly fine with that.

Also, the twins are getting a tablet. I plan to mooch off this when I can >.>

My Sega CD still hasn't arrived. Now it's getting to be not so much a question of "will it be here in time for Christmas?" as a question of "will it be here at all?" My other stuff hasn't arrived, either.

I hate the post office.

In other news, it looks like we won't have to have either the Christmas Eve or Christmas Day parties at our house, which I'm very relieved by. Having the Christmas Eve party would suck because as soon as everyone leaves you're in a mad rush to clean up the mess and go bed, and having the Christmas Day party would probably suck even more because you don't have any time to check out the stuff you got and instead would have to hurry to make sure everything is ready for company to be here, and I'd also have to drag everything I got to my room so I can lock it up safely in there to prevent people from messing with it.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

I haven't done much shopping,

but I've made it a know fact that I wait either a 360 of PS3. And a few miscellaneous games (including an MMORPG) as well as some music.

Only problem with the MMORPG is that I have a mac, and lets face it, mac gamers don't exsist. *laughs*

And who ever put the post about Lego Star Wars, it rocks. LOL

I'm getting an MP3 player of some sort; hopefully going to get a 360, but my parents are against anything non-Nintendo.

My boyfriend's getting me Donnie Darko and something else, apparently. I'm making him a stuffed animal of a dragun.

Heh, while I was in Hawaii a few weeks ago, I went to a swap meet and got presents for a bunch of my friends. I got Isaac this awesome little wooden frog with a stick in its mouth. You take the stick out and run it up the ridges on its spine and it croaks.

Those frogs are great, I think I've seen them somewhere, very cute.

Me and my friends did a secret Santa because or else we would have each had to have bought like 10 presents. I got my person these gorgeous slipper sock things and a huge bar of Galaxy.
On our last day of school my RS teacher bought in a tray of croissants, and slices of fruit cake and apple pie, and a plastic container of sliced ham, then he told us a story. It was really sweet.
And on our second to last day we had to walk to church for the school's carol service, which was okay, except my form tutour was sitting near me which meant I had to sing. I am BAD at singing.

DarkZelda

My marching band peeps and I do a secret santa thats not secret.
As in we just pick names and get a gift.
My person wanted Pokemon Diamond.
It was epic.
Jan. 5th we are battleing at school.

Hahaha

We had a mini party yesterday with family, everyone opened two presents. I got a sweatshirt (God knows I need more) and Elite Beat Agents.

God, let me tell you, that game is addicting. Nice music (though the fact that all except Jumping Jack Flash are covers kind of annoys me) and most of the stories are quirky and hilarious. Most of. There's this one certain mission (if you've played the game, you know what I'm talking about) that had my bawling. It was completely out of place! All these cute happy missions, then this really depressing...although then it got kind of happy-sad...you know what I'm talking about.

...

Dancing solves everything >.>

EDIT: Also, since I'm going to Dad's tomorrow, we're opening our presents from Mom today. So I'll post about that later.

My Sega CD arrived in the mail yesterday. Christmas is saved!

Well, almost. Still wating on "Gran Turismo 5 Prologue."

I broke a window a few months ago, and I haven't found any way to pay it back except to not get christmas presents. I really don't mind though...


Actually, the only thing I'm getting is a new ocarina, but it was out of stock until today. But I can wait.

Fishalicious

I opened my boyfriend's presents today- he got me Donnie Darko, the Director's cut (best movie ever) and Mulberry, which is apparently about Zombie Rats.

... He also got me a huge chocolate bar. That was depressing. (I... don't like chocolate XD so I ate some and then gave the rest to my friend. hedoesn'thavetoknow)

DW

So, umm, yeah. I played that mission from EBA again and was reduced to tears once more. A scene that sad doesn't fit in a game like that :(

Anyways, so, results of today's present opening:

Kingdom Hearts, Re: Chain of Memories (Scotty's playing it right now >.>)
Okami (Can't wait to pop this one in)
Crosswords DS (The 'crosswords' part of the title is highly misleading)
Guitar Hero pajamas (YeahIdon'tknoweither>.>)
A bracelet of some sort (Jewelry's not my thing; I like it, terms elude me)
Tales of Beedle the Bard WITH a Sirius Black bookmark ( ;D)
The newest Redwall book (Wasn't aware he'd written another >.>)
A set of puzzles to kill myself solving ( :-X)
Moviemaking equipmet (Blew my mind. It's low-quality, but hell, it works!)

The twins got a Wii, with an extra Wiimote(no nunchuk), NiGHTS, and Sega Superstars tennis. Grandma REALLY likes them. Needless to say, I'm mooching off of it.

If you get a chance to play "NiGHTS," let me know how it is. I've always wondered how it'd stack up against the original.

By the way, what kind of moviemaking equipment did you get?
