Belated Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and OMGFTW I UPDATED TEH FIC
Man! What a couple of weeks.
Christmas was good. The family all came together, and while I bought a lot of very expensive items this year (mostly for mom and dad, which is okay, because in all likelihood I owe them some $$ anyway), I came away with a good chunk of stuff, too.
$300 cash
$25 certificate to Target
$25 certificate to Starbuck's
$50 certificate to Michael’s (for jewelry supplies! <3 I've already spent half on chain, spacers, pliers, and such)
Roomba floor-cleaning iRobot (the cats absolutely detest it, I adore it)
Nike athletic gear
Pink iPod 4gb nano (from John)
Spode Xmas decoration
Candy/trinkets/ornaments from coworkers/friends
silver necklace
large vanilla/brown sugar scented candle (this thing is as big as my head, I swear.)
John and I exchanged our presents early. He'd bought me a new iPod nano (which I now desperately needed, since my stupid mini up and died), and I gave him money - only half - towards an Xbox360 and Gears of War. We've never spent this amount of money on each other during holidays or birthdays before; so we didn't feel too badly about doing it this one time. So then we picked both items up, and then went back to my place...and we played Gears of War for like, 6 hours straight. No joke. I know some people have game orgies longer than that, but man, by 6 hours later I was hurtin'. That's rough. Plus it's a scary game, so we had to turn it off after a while. ^^;;;
The week afterward was good. Spent a lot of time with friends, lots of good wine and comfort food, but very little gym time. Feeling guilty. There was ice-skating and in January there will be snowboarding! OH YES.
John got sick after Christmas, so I knew we weren't doing anything special for New Year's. In the couple of days before, I managed to finally crank out chapter 19 of TBT, and the epilogue! The fic is finally complete! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1695122/20/ I'm already working on the first chapter of the sequel - I know, obsessive; but when my momentum strikes, I have to do it, 'cause I never know when it's going to quit on me.
So what did everyone else do?? I feel as though I've been MIA, I've been so fic-obsessed lately. ^^;;; Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!

That's pretty much the jist of what I picked up.
It was a good holiday.
And argh! for the Starbucks stuff...it follows me around wherever I go now! XD And I don't say that because I work there...ok, maybe that is the reason, lol.

Good to hear you had a good holiday!

In the meantime, I've just been getting my ass handed to me on Veteran Mode in Call of Duty 2.
Thinking of any other games you might pick up?

In the meantime, I've got a few games to keep me busy. Call of Duty 2, Condemned: Criminal Origins (which rocks, by the way), Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, Gears of War, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (which also rocks...yeah, I'm a nerd like that XD), Burnout Revenge, N3: Ninety-Nine Nights, Rumble Roses XX (for eye candy purposes XD), and Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (for eye candy purposes XD). Oh, can't forget about Halo 2...I can play that one online as well.
If you ever feel like playing a round (and kicking my ass, which I'm sure will happen, heh) for the hell of it, go ahead and add me to your friend's list on XBox Live. My gamertag is Gaijus (the name has a quasi-long story).
Enough parenthesis? I think so. XD
