Current mood: *squish* (Yes, it’s an old entry there, but I keep going back and squishing.)

Feel much better now, much thanks for the hugs. X3 Hugs make everything shiny! It also helps that I don’t remember work today. Complete blank, although I vaguely recall being waaaay too perky and excited all day. ^^; Yay tea?

I heard from two different sources that a playthrough of KH:CoM gives you a playthrough as Riku, so I shall do my best to beat it right away! Anything for Riku. XD Man, it’s still hard to believe there is a sequel, let alone a cool one like KH2. I still can’t imagine what’s happened to Riku, or how they’ll meet up again, or anything like that. I just hope we see a little more of him in the next game. *is obsessed* I live for those glimpses! Before my memory card killed them, I had a save before every scene he was in! Excepting Monstro, which had so much Riku I just bundled it together into one save. X3 Pathetic, yes, but happy.

Mmm, Chinese food. My fortune cookie is great: If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Gonna watch the Twilight Zone marathon. (Nicole, you know that episode with the little boy who can wish things away? How does it end? We missed the last half, and Mum can’t remember, and it’s driving us nuts.)

Also, Nicole: Darn you to heck. X3 I’m already addicted to that RP, just from reading a single entry and going, “Damn, this Kimberley is soooo messed up. ….I wanna know what makes him tick. <3" *prepares for a night of fanfiction and no sleep* I'm like Winry or something, but with psychological disorders. XD I also enjoy comparing myself to FMA characters waaay too much. I think it has something to do with them being so darn realistic.

ETA: Greed rocks my socks. *stares blankly at clock* Oh. Right. I'm going to have to work tomorrow. Nyeeeeeeeeh! I dun wanna! Wanna read more. >_> Bleargh. Sleep. Happy New Year. <3

AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I go back to work 8 hours after leaving. FUCK THE WORLD. I got 4 hours of sleep last night, damnit, and no one can take my shift on the 8th so I won’t get to see Shan and life SUCKS.

The only good thing about today was seeing this guy that looked EXACTLY like Billy Boyd. Exactly. I’m still convinced he was, despite being half a foot too short. And, you know, in America. And New Hampshire. It was him, I swear! ^^; I actually called Steph up from work and made her look up Billy Boyd’s height, as that was the best defining characteristic I could come up with. But. Exactly like Billy Boyd. *dies*

And now I’m insanely awake and I want to read fic but I’m going in at 7, damnit. I would call Madan and try to switch with him, but he’s probably asleep. Grr. I don’t even know if he has the afternoon shift…

It does not help that this cricket won’t shut the hell up. Crickets are fucking loud when they’re five feet away. I’ve been sleeping with my pillow over my head. Not fun.

*consoles self with FMA fic, despite needing sleep*

After such a long wait, I have now seen up to episode 30 of FMA, and I have many things to say. Mostly, OMG WRATH IS SO KYOOOOOOT!!!five

I want to hug him and feed him and brush his hair. ;_; I hope there aren’t any Wrath cosplayers at AB. I’ll go all Izumi on them. >_> Speaking of Izumi, she reminds me of… well, me. When I’m mad. ^^; Which is, fortunately, not often. And omg GreedKimberley theirloveissoexplosive. XD And Wrath! So kyooooot! X3 I love him THIS MUCH.

Ebay dragged me in last night, but I fought it off! I haven’t tried to buy anything! Not even the coldcast Sephiroth vs. Cloud statue which was limited edition and I’ve only seen it twice before and I WANT IT WAAAAAH! ;_; But it’s over $300. PAIN. (Man, I remember when the fully assembled and painted Kotobukiya or whatever statues of Sephiroth went for $200 each, and now they’re like, $70. And Vincent, too. ;_; Waaaant.) I will console myself with the insanely awesome Al figure Karie got me. *plays with figure* Vroom! Vroom!

*ahem* Anyhow. Work got switched, so I’ll be in from 2-11 today. So like, I have ten minutes or so before I have to go. >_> Social Blog!

Shan: See, the problem is that everyone is working that day, and thus I can’t switch with anyone. >.< I’ll talk with my manager, but I suspect I won’t be getting it off. Damnit. Because really, they won’t care why, and nevermind all the times Madan’s called me in to cover one of his shifts. Bleargh.

Nicole: You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it. XD And thank you for the stuffage! I shall try to refrain from licking Envy, but it’s so hard. ^^; And I keep thinking about Requiem and just kinda musing over it at random times. Heh heh.

Karie: Yaaay! Someone noticed Sanzo’s holiday spirit! XD It was good to see you, too, and thank you thank you thank you for Al! He guards my tablet now. XD

Link to my lovely awesome molestable Envy shirt! <33333333 I've been spazzing incoherently all day. Dad hates me now. XD He also knows the basic plot of FMA, which until now I had refrained from babbling about. (He also knows about Al's kitties.)

Yesterday was the coolest day ever! I got stuff and more stuff and gave Nicole presents and got addicted to a new anime (darn you! I can't afford more addictions!) and got to switch today's morning shift to the afternoon! XD Yaaaaay! And Envy is on my bed. *dies of joy*

I'm not sure I want to watch ep. 25 of FMA. Or read the 4th manga. I happened to flip open to that page, and I just quietly closed the manga and put it down and haven't touched it again. I won't look. If I don't look, it won't happen. *sniffle* Well, except that last night I read most of the surrounding events and had a good long cry. And then dreamt of Roy. >_> And I’ve just now watched the first half of ep. 25, but I’ve got it stopped right before it starts to go down, and I can’t bear to watch more. It’s the kind of thing you can never be prepared for, but the best preparation is watching it with a friend who doesn’t mind if you bawl all over them. Knowing exactly what will happen doesn’t help, either. At all.

Darn you, Envy. Why do I love you? >_>

That said, I am still in a damn fine mood. I didn’t have to get up at insane’o'clock, and if I can switch with a coworker I can have the 8th off to hang with Shan and Steph, and I have FMA figures on my computer desk, and a teeeeeeensy tiny Itachi figure guarding my money. XD I love my stuff. *licks Envy shirt*

Karie: Eeee gloves presents squee! XD I haven’t hardly worked on yours. Ehe. But! We should get together and hang out nonetheless. Like, Wednesday or something. Wait, do you work Wednesdays? Maybe next Monday would be better. *worry*

Nicole: Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!eleventyone XD I love the shirt so much, and the jacket, and omg I am so FMA-rific. XD Flamel! Envy! Eeeeeeee!! *dies*

Shan: Hmm, I see… I will try that, then.

AAAAAHHHH ENVY SHIRT AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!five!!1

Will link to the picture once Nicole puts it on DevArt. Until then, I squee. Like Hughes, only higher-pitched.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

X3 I am very proud of that silly little story. It’s utterly ridiculous. Heh heh.

So apparently 2am is my awake time - or perhaps I just had too much tea. Work was delightfully dead, and thus very restful, and thus I required caffiene. Mmm, Arizona green tea. The best kind, if you ask me - icy cold in a can is perfect. <3 I should really be poking my computer to see if I really don't have a burner, but I've been distracted by FMA fic. *eyes Touka Koukan* Darn you, Hughes. You're so distracting.

Hughes: And here she's swimming! With water-wings! <3

Aaaanyway. I think I might have to download driver from somewhere, because the sticker on my CD drive thingy says "compact disc re-writable" and that generally indicates a burner. But I have no idea where to even start looking for one. *flops uselessly like an injured Xellos* But it has nothing about writing speeds! Burners have writing speeds on them! *flop flop*

Kira: Consider it a compliment and post it on your site. XD Do you want some other stuff? You can steal all the Saiyuki stuff from my ff.net account. Mm, I'll see if I have anything else... I think just the Gaara things, which shall never see the light of day if I have any say in it. If I can weasel another few pages out of Fields, though, you can have the first chapter of that. <3 Also, I will talk to my people about webspace and such. It's no bother, really. (And yes, Roy's eyebrows are very sexy, and his miniskirt-clad army knows it. XD)

Nicole: Noon, at the library. Check. Er, if I'm a little late, I might be having a bit of trouble with a ride, but it should be fine. I just hope I can do something with the CD stuff in the morning. ;_; I wanna bring over more FMA for you! At least I have your Christmas present. (I hope you don't already own it. ^^;) About the check, though - It probably is as you say. I bet it got there like, the day after they closed. >.< Graaagh.

So now to sleep, and I shall play with the CD stuff in the morning. Blech, I smell like coffee. >.<

Kira: Will fix the links to your page soon. ^_^ If you want a decent free webhost, I can hook you up, eh? I can ask Poyzn.net (aka God aka Steph) or my dad, who has paid space on something or another. And I’m not telling what I got you, because it hasn’t gotten here yet. ^^;

Nicole: You’re welcome in advance (if I can make the CDs). XD I did indeed get a National Alchemist watch, and I love it muchly. They’re like $10 on Ebay, if you want me to get you one? You can pay me back or whatever, if you’d like. Also, I think I failed to mention this before now, but I sent the check out a very long while ago. I wonder why they haven’t gotten it yet. *is worried*

Karie: I didn’t get you money! XD But I sympathize on the list front, which is of course why I ask for Saiyuki Reload and then squee over Sanzo’s naked butt. XD And when I opened the watch, I was like, “Can I lick it?” and everyone was like, “Uhhh… no.” But since I usually have to kick Dad several times rather surreptitiously to get him to NOT tell people I like boys with other boys, I think it went rather well. XD

Blame the story behind the cut on Kira. If she hadn’t inadvertently fed the plotbunnies, it would never have happened. XD (Also, it is entirely nonsensical and I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote it. I apologize for… well, everything. And! It is my very first crossover! Be proud. And then shoot me, please.)

Also? Roy’s egg nog is not spiked. Hawkeye got some to him before the rest of his staff got at it. X3
(more…)

YES! *does the new manga dance* Time to list off my loot. XD

Saiyuki Reload manga 2 and 3 *licks Sanzo*
Fullmetal Alchemist manga 2, 3 and 4 *licks Envy*
Grow-your-own catnip *sniff* X3
Cello’s chocolate covered cherries (the best kind)
Symphony chocolate bar with toffee (already devoured for breakfast)
National Alchemist watch (YES YES YES)
T-shirt that reads: Therapy is expensive. Bubble wrap is cheap. You choose. *is wearing said shirt*
Norton Antivirus (YESYESYESAHAHA)
Wacom tablet (it’s big and I’m gonna install it now and draw~!)
$50 cash! (Thank you, Uncle George!)

And I will probably get some more stuff from relatives, but I couldn’t go visit today because of work. I don’t really mind; my aunt smokes like a chimney and is apparently determined to be certifiably nuts, and shall make the holiday rather unpleasant. So this way I just get to smile as I quietly toss whatever she gets me, because it will reek of cigarettes and I will never get the smell out. (This has been proven in the past; I’m not just being snide.) I wonder what Grammy will get me, though. Maybe socks. XD

And the best part? I wore my Itachi headband the whole time, and I’ve got my National Alchemist pocketwatch, so it’s like a mad crazy crossover. XD Itachi and Roy celebrate Christmas together! …Wait, that just gave me a plotbunny. XD

And for those who like to keep up on the goings-on of my muses, there’s a huge Christmas party at Reno and Schu’s. Everyone from Alphonse to Voldemort is invited. It is crazy. XD And packed. Oi, keep that Potter kid away from the egg nog! XD Rude’s the DJ. Hee hee!

Ah, I like today. It is a good day. <3

Nicole: By 12, you mean noon, right? That should be fine. I will attempt to get CDs done, and you can certainly borrow them. I will want to steal them back so I can convert Steph, though. XD She hasn’t seen any! It’s terrible.

Steph: She does indeed rock. She did pretty much all the Christmas shopping in just one week, too. And she got me manga! XD I love my mum.

Happy holidays, all. Know that I wish to distribute hugs and fuzzy pillows.

Karie: Sleep is good. Isn’t it amusing that sleepovers involve little or no sleep? This amuses me far too much. (And yes, your family sucks. Do you want mine? They’re a little better. ^^;)

Nicole: Er. I dunno, honestly. My schedule is getting pretty messed up. Let’s assume that I’m following my usual schedule, though, which means I’m off all of Monday. Where do you want to meet up, etc? And should I try to see if my CD thing really doesn’t burn CDs? XD FMA party, yo! that would rock.

Speaking of FMA and relaxing and Christmas, my day has gone thusly:
Wake up far too early.
Work.
Finally lose temper at new guy.
Stay late because the next shift (two people! You’d think at least one would be on time!) was late.
Walk home, eat pre-packaged food, wrap presents.
Whine. (aka blogging)
Watch FMA23 and cry on behalf of the Elric brothers, whose luvissoangsty.
Watch FMA23 and squee over the details, like Ed grabbing Al’s arm for the first time EVER. Ha!
Nap. Yay.
Open one present. (Omg Saiyuki Reload 3 ha ha Sanzo’s butt! <33333)
Virus scan.
Find Download.Trojan.
Fail to remove Download.Trojan.
Scream and cry.
Reboot in Safe Mode (takes two tries) and discover that hey, it went away.
Scan again. Discover that it did get removed-ish.
Delete Download.Trojan. Biatch.
Listen to Walking in the Air by Aled Jones and read FMA fic to unwind, despite being utterly exhausted, because the cricket won't shut the hell up.
Oh, and wrap more presents.

But, despite all this? I feel love for the world. And fuzzy. There is a distinct feeling of fuzzy. >_> Merry Christmas, Zack!

So yeah. Happy holidays, yo. I will update in the morning with a list of stuffage, because I know everyone wants me to rub in how cool my swag is. XD If it helps, I won’t be getting much, because most of this year’s Christmas money went to getting clothes for the homeless, which is awesome. See, Mum works with the homeless, and some asked for like, certain sizes of pants and jackets. There wasn’t much, and it was specific and reasonable, so Mum asked her church to donate (she’s a minister). Well, they donated everything but the requested items, despite being told not to give anything else because there was simply nothing for them to do with it since this wasn’t a clothing drive, just specific requests, so Mum bought the stuff herself. She’s great like that. *is proud of having such a cool mom*

And that is my touching Christmas story. I think I like Penny Arcade’s better. You know, the one with Cthulhu? XD Yes, I’m going to go finish up stuff so I can sleep now. I’ll see ya’ll in the morning.

*happy sigh* Ah, Alter!Series. Even after a day from hell, you can make me feel so wonderful.

So today is Christmas Eve, eh? Doesn’t feel like it. I’m just exhausted and too tense and a little worked up and upset, and in desperate need of a back massage. The back-cracking kind. When I try to relax, I can feel all the muscles that are knotted up, and when I don’t relax it just aches. Ah well. I might take a long, hot shower in a bit.

Mmm. I will be sleeping much tonight. I would sleep now, but there’s stuff I need to do. ^^; Wrapping for Mum, a shower, laundry… Mm, maybe I can sleep for an hour or so. That would perk me up about as much as (yet another) cup of tea. *eyes bed* …Yeah, that sounds good.

And, to the woman who insisted she would be billed for $20 even though she only spent $17 and made me give her cash out of my own pocket because otherwise my drawer would be short? Happy fucking goddamn Christmas. I hope you’re proud of yourself, you bitch. (Ah, man, I’ve wanted to swear all day. That felt good.)

Karie’s Christmas still sucks more than mine. At least I don’t have to put up with relatives this year, thanks to work.
