LOL I thought I'd show off what I got. I put up pics of some of the stuff I got! Where to begin, where to begin...



CDs! I asked for a lot of CDs because I'm a music spaz. I got some great albums too, and have no idea who to listen to first:
- Foo Fighters The Colour and the Shape
- Jimmy Eat World Clarity
- Finntroll Jaktens Tid
- Within Temptation The Silent Force
- Enigma A Posteriori
- Bon Jovi New Jersey
- Big & Rich Comin' To Your City



I got a novel popular among TEF members - David Clement-Davies Fire Bringer. I also got a traveler's Italian Dictionary. My brother sent me Ghost Squad, a shooter game for the Wii, and I got the DVD Kung Fu Panda.



I got some new supplies for necklace making, so expect to see some new necklaces available in my Project Greenleaf shop soon!

(Not pictured stuff below)

A neat metal deer ornament and two reindeer votive candle holders.

A Transformers t-shirt (more of my brother's kind of thing but I'm wearing it now so yeah).

$10 to Best Buy (toward a new car stereo).

A little dragon toy, and a can of peanuts.

-------------------------------------------

I got a couple of odds and ends from my grandparents. Mostly some money, and a couple of antiques (she got us into antiquing). She DID give me a really cool metal candle holder in the shape of a lantern that has deer on it, and a plush deer that sits on the side of a table. She said it looked so much like by dachshund that she couldn't pass it up.

As of 10 minutes ago.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! 8]
(Ignoring that I don't celebrate it. I only do in a way thanks to a few close friends, and awesome people online, like this community. =])

There's a lot of "happy holidays" blogs popping up and I don't wanna end up repeating myself on each one, so I decided to do it this way. XD
Hope everyone has a good Christmas day, whether you celebrate it or not!

TO ALL MY DEE(A)RS! X3

I can't believe it but,

Yeah. There's something about Christmas Eve that makes me cry -- my usual thing is spending the evening on my aunt's back porch while a party I can neither enjoy nor tolerate goes on inside, and I'm basically trapped there for a while. But not this year -- I lucked out, and happen to be sick (no, really.)

No, this year I have weightier things on my mine, and I feel like I just need to get them out somewhere. I know I'm often something of a worry-wort, but I think now I have some legitimate causes, which makes me authentically scared and sad -- especially this time of year, when logically togetherness and merriness should abound.

There's a friend online I've been close to for over 4 years. And then she vanishes sometime, oh, a month or so ago. Maybe more. It could be school, but she's not back -- which makes me worry more. It could be a lack of internet. At which point I would be so freaking relieved...but...she's had some suicidal tendencies in the past, especially recently. She's had some delinquincy issues in the past. She's had some psychological issues in the past. So I can't stop worrying that she's dead or in jail or in an insane asylum somewhere, and I've forgotten her actual last name, and can't track her down just to be sure. She's the only person who was enough like myself to really understand my feelings, and the thought that I might never hear from her again scares me a lot.

And then there's my IRL best friend of...11 years of so, if my math is right. She had family issues long before I met her, and a few years ago, things got worse. A lot worse. Recently, things got so bad that finally the situation got outside attention. And things could get better from here, or things could get a lot worse. In a week, we'll know...But my friend is worried (and I agree with her) that if things go the "lot worse" option, her life could be in danger.

And to all a good night,

At least the night should be good
To those who wish it so
I hope will be how it should
For tomorrow I let you go

So now I bid you farewell
And I hope that will be true
And so here are wishes well
From calmest me, to loveliest you

Good night, Good night, Good night
My most wonderful Deer
And I thank the twin Gods
That we both are here



~Good Night

...

I was Lemon's Secret Santa! This is for you!

Here's to hoping all have a Merry Merry holiday break!
May your days be filled with all sorts of happiness and family blessings.

(and yes.... even the 'drive you up the wall' family members can bring you joy...however small that joy will be...it's still joy ^_^ )

Enjoy! And a Merry Christmas!

***update***
For those who are wondering about their artz from me and the tiny minie deer...I have good news!

Since my old computer has finally called it quits on me and has gone on into the great computer place in the sky... my mother has wonderfully said that she shall buy me a new one! Which means...I can finish the artz for all!

HUZZAH!!!!

Now... I must save my money to pay her back of course,
(because that's just to expensive not too)
...but!...
all is well because luck is on my side!
I have an interview next week, with a possible job attached!

DOUBLE HUZZAH!!!!

Its seems with one bad ending, a brighter good shows up on the horizon.

Wish me luck!
