Oh Yeah.

I keep forgetting I have one of these. Maybe cuz there's nothing of importance to actually post, I suppose? But what the hey...

It's December. Already. I still remember last Holiday season and it's very simple routines and events. I don't even remember what I asked for for Christmas aside from the fact that I received a second copy of Guitar Hero 3 for a second guitar, haha. I don't even remember if I asked for anything specific, either. I guess that's a good thing, right? I like giving things to people anyways. (Even if it's usually on X-Mas and/or their B-Day, but I try to make them good ones...)



X_X;;



This year I've only asked for one thing and one thing only. In fact, I prolly don't even deserve it. I haven't done anything extraordinary in a while, if not, like, EVER. I kinda feel really bad for asking for it, but I have since gotten confirmation that Santa shall be sending it my way, of which I shall be forEHver grateful. It ranks in the top five Holiday gifts I'll ever and will ever get, with my Nintendo consoles (I group them all up for practical purposes of being non-jerky for actual heart-felt gifts), Wheat-Thins I get yearly (hey, it's a snack I've made sacred upon myself by indulging them almost exclusively during this cheerful season), and my current vest. What is it? I dunno, I've promised to act surprised; I shouldn't know what I'm getting! :P



Story-elaborating-time. Miss Nylrac gave me this fuzzy thing with a white cloth stitched inside the left side with our friend's names on it. She got it after I lost my original black vest from 6th Grade after a football game of much celebration and extravagence as I sadly left it near the brick wall of our band room in my tired haste. I was told I looked depressed (as much as I can, since my face is blank with only a frown and devoid of emotion, apparently) and was told on numerous occasions the following month that I looked smaller/taller/skinnier/younger without my trademark garment. Eventually, she concocted one of the best gifts in recent memory and had the Clarinet Section in on it. How thoughtful! Well, on that morning, I recollect opening the box, yelling something unintelligent, running outside and announcing to the high school something along the lines of "I HAVE A NEW VEST!!!" or something similar. Anyways, I wear it to this night and now have a scented Optimus Prime, er, scenting(?) the inside pocket. I'll hafta give that back eventually... Oh, and give her a hug, since I don't think I've properly thanked her for such a thoughtful present.


Errr...

Animal Crossing takes up at least a good half hour daily, so it gives me something to do each day. Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories also arrived yesterday afternoon. Pretty fun stuff, dont' know why everyone hated it so. Okay, so I know full-well why everyone hates that game. It's more 'complicated' than it's button-mashing main titles. So what? It was an interesting system, to say the least. It actually made you think instead of just mashing X for a minute straight. And it's even more natural on the PS2's layout then it was on the cramped GBA. It's easier to see everything, battles have that wonderful 3D feel to them and it controls easier (thank you for the roll button, Reaction Command, short-cut button, Right Stick camera, and lock-on feature) than the humble little handheld could muster. Add to that prolly the most compelling story of the series thus far and it helps gives players playing the series' hardest title a drive to complete it. It's a very inspiring series and I will enjoy my tribute to it soon. (lies, 'soon' is very vague and non-commitment-ish)

I swear I'll actually have something more to say later this month when my drawing skills have come back to some of their mundane-luster. (I'm proud of one piece, but I has no idea where my sketch pad went within the last 8 hours. I know, I'm horrible...)

Enjoy Santa Claus Day!
