Christmas things and holiday cheer!
What did Cynthia do for Christmas? Well... not much. I made charms. They're posted all over the place so you've probably already seen them. I'd like to make more but I can't stop playing Penumbra: Overture. Or the Binding of Isaac.
Okay, you don't understand... they were on sale on Steam for like nothing.
However Binding of Isaac inspired me to make charms so you could say that was a technically productive move.
I ran out of glaze. That's actually a lie.
The cap wasn't shut properly and the glaze dried enough to where it wasn't workable. So I had to order more. In the mean time my charms look a little lifeless.
It's a heart.
I have presents that I need to give to people. Admittedly, shipping them was a smarter idea but (1) I hate the post office and (2) see #1.
We all pretty much spent Christmas day playing video games. Nothing out of the ordinary. Josh made Ham the night before so we had something festive to eat.
Rot got Skyrim, I was going back and forth between my two, and Josh I think has been on a Planetside 2 binge. He tried to get us to get in on it-- no, basically. We're both so tied up in Rift that us even parting from it like we have is weird.
Christmas loot
Ponies and Kyrie sent me a Christmas package with the cutest gift ever. It's a matrixykersomething doll. The ones that have a smaller version within the other? It's handmade and he picked out the colors!
Their package was super flashy lol. I had a billion different kinds of fancy, shiny wrapping paper made of precious metals from the earths core and a billion different kinds of hershey's kisses :)
And they also gave me a $30.00 gift card for Veggie Grill. I really like their mushroom burger so that'll be a trip in the near future. The only yucky thing is that the closest one to us is in Hollywood. Yucky Hollywood >.< hah - I got them stuff too but I can't say because they don't have them yet :P
Rot of course bought me the expansion to Rift earlier this year, and then got me two Marilyn Monroe movies. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (a favorite) and Some like it Hot. I used to watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on Netflix religiously and memorized the whole damn movie by heart. Then they took it off instant watch :( And the other movie I've never watched before, but I watched and IT'S SO CUTE AND FUNNY. I loved it! -- I got him pants and a cup set that has CRTL ALT DEL keyboard keys as cups. Seems legit.
And Josh.. he went overboard. Remember the artist I went nuts over from Long Beach Comic Con? Who did the line art for the Drizz't comics?
Josh bought one of his prints and had it framed for me. Pretty awesome, I wasn't expecting that at all. - and I got him a tshirt that says I'm only here because you broke something. Which pretty much is fact. Regarding everything ever. He got a good laugh out of it because it's true.
Also got another nice gift from Santa... a notice for a smog check on my Honda. JOY
There's always something. Also the new work shoes I got are too small. They hurt horribly. JOY
I can't send them back because I used them and also because I hate post offices.
The Saturn is broken. It works, but it's making a worrying sound that makes it feel unsafe to drive. JOY.
Next year looks more promising! Aside from the several times I talked about my Disney trip at the end of January with my friend, Wondercon will be in March! I will attend that convention alone if I have to. Also, I learned my lesson from my Long Beach trip. Definitely will be much better prepared.
This morning before Rot left for work...
he bit me.
OMG so Happy Street... the mobile game I'm always yapping over.. somehow reset itself. Everything gone. All my buildings, my little characters, and most of the things in my bags all gone. However I'm still the same level I was before it reset somehow. I don't know what happened, and it sucks. Though it's kind of fun rebuilding everything again.
YOU GUISE, GET HAPPY STREET. IT'S SO FUN. Add me 'cynthx' on there :D
