I feel kinda dumb today. Have you ever bought something thinking it was going to be really cool and then finding out you were really too old for it?
I did some early Christmas shopping and bought some things for my family. I got myself a couple of them as well because they were something I liked (and I'm a pack rat).
So I go home, try it out, and it ends up being something that's really only for kids.
I'm 22, the youngest of my family, and I bought one of these things for each of my family members, including my parents.
Is it a huge deal? Should I just not worry about it and see if they like it anyway? I mean the thing for kids is really optional, they don't even have to do it, but still I kinda paid a lot of money for these things not to really appeal to my age and older.
I dunno...I'm kinda bummed...
Edit Okay yeah, I bought some webkinz. I got myself the deer and reindeer (obviously), and I got my mom one of the dogs (looks kinda like my dachshund), my dad an elephant (University of Alabama fan), and my brother a black cat (cause he likes cats).
My plan this year was to just do gift cards, but I was going to buy each of them like five giftcards to places they like. So I wanted to bundle them all up with something. I was going to make stuff, but then I thought about those things and was like, "That could work, I guess."
So I bought five of them - the two deer for me and the others for them. I put in the code for one of the deer and it basically was Neopets all over again...
I mean if that's the reason why they were so expensive then I feel like I wasted my money. I spent $60 on the things.
Sigh...
I guess it will work...and I have two new deer plushes to add to my collection, but I wish I would have known what the website thing was like before I bought them. I could have done something cheaper, you know.
The Big Zombie Deer is asleep in the Old Oak right now. You can get your zombie set from him by casting spells on him. I just got mine. First time Mushroom is wearing the zombie set. I missed it last year.
My parents got...rly pissed at me last night and pulled the plug on the computer so I dunno if I'll be able to get on today. :B Or after that, I dunno. Usually it's not bad at all. But lol just letting you know that I might not be heeeeere.

Do y'all know what's wrong with my iTunes? Every time I try to open it, it tells me I need to install it, and when I try it doesn't work. :B I've tried reinstalling it and Quicktime but it's still doing it so help plz.
understand i didn't make this video i posted here in this blog for a reason
to bring self awareness to a ever growning problem
Evergreen- a deer wakes up finds the forest is burnt away by a fire from a crashed oil tanker (The show of human hands on nature) the deer finds a small tree still alive with a seed/ pinecone which it carries to water and drops in( The rebirth of nature once its left to heal on its own) deer walks through forest as it grows( showing nature can repair and regrow with out human aid after a fire) the finally scene is the deer looking a dandelion seed floating away( represent natures way of re populating and re growing)
for Specter as an adult in the forest I think I might keep a journal going about him, updating every now and then, since he's more of a character than any of my other deer. All my other deer are very similar and far to like me, but Specter gets to be different, so, uhm... >> Here goes : ) It has pictures, too! 8D "The Guardian" is how Specter refers to me, by the way
Dear Journal,
I awoke in the forest today. It was bright and sunny and not foggy like I was hoping it would be. The Guardian promised me the dark days were coming, but I have yet to see that promise fulfilled. The longs hours spent in the company of Sqish and Vision are becoming unbearable, but even a moment spent with Skie makes me feel like I'm in a hell of puffy clouds, rainbows, and cute fuzzy ducklings dancing to Caramelldansen. That song has been stuck in my head for days -.-
But on to the day! Yes, it was sunny, and and there was mooing in the distance. I remembered the sound from my days as a fawn, and I ran off to find the creatures. There were just a few of them, playing with each other. The one.. he tried to nuzzle me o.o. I tried to evade him, but he followed me for a time, crying and bawling his eyes out. So, out of mercy, I gave him a small nuzzle back, then quickly retreated to the trees. I liked that little fawn, I followed him for quite some time, but he learned to ignore my presence like so many others, so I slipped away to the graveyard.
Skokey stood on the bridge, staring at the sky. It was an oddly purple color, and the water was thick and black. But it all seemed familiar, as if it had always been that way. Skokey's dull reflection wavered slowly in the black ooze. He paid no mind to it. Something else had caught his attention.
”Skokey!” Fenqua ran to him, a smile spread across her face.
Skokey turned to meet his love, warmth overwhelming his body at her sight. ”Fenqua...”
Fenqua skidded to a stop at the base of the bridge. She slid forward rapidly, and collided with Skokey. The rails on the side seemed to disappear, throwing Skokey into the pitch black water.
”Fenqua!” Skokey screamed at the top of his lungs. ”Fenqua, help!”
He sank lower and lower. His legs paralyzed, unable to bring him back to the surface. Fenqua looked over the edge with an unchanging look of horror. Nothing escaped her throat. Air slowly bubbled to the surface. Everything around him was completely black, but the vision of her was clear.
”Fenqua, please! Fenqua!” He screamed. The last tiny bubbles fell up the water. Fenqua seemed to fade away. Fenqua... I can't leave you all alone...
***
Skokey's head shot up. He was panting, and his heart seemed to almost burst out of his chest. A nightmare... he thought. He shook his head, trying to shake off the horrid memories.
He looked to the east. The sun had already risen. He could sniff the scents of far-off dear that had already awaken. He heard someone trot up to him. A familiar tan stag appeared before him, with a grave look on his face.
“I know, I know... I guess you saw, huh?” Skokey said softly, keeping mind to a sleeping Fenqua.
Vessel nodded.
“I suppose not all nightmares are protected by you. Is that right?”
He nodded again.
“I'm sorry...”
Vessel shrugged and shook his head. He gave attention to Fenqua, which made Skokey smile.
