Belated Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and OMGFTW I UPDATED TEH FIC

[misora]

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!!

Is it wrong that I actually shed a few tears at the last chapter? I don't know why I did, really, as it wasn't...well, I dunno. It struck me as something that was supposed to be kind of uplifting, like, HEY, CHECK ME OUUUUUUUT, but I still cried.

Just a little. I didn't, like, bawl like a bitch or anything.

._.;;;;;;;;;;;;

ZOMGZOMGZOMG U FINEISHED UR FIC WTF LOLZ

I am now officially the SLACKER ASS of the 3 M's. Ah. Well. Amon will kill me in my sleep one of these nights, I know it (if Nagira and I don't kill each other first by drinking ourselves to death).

And am I completely psychotic to only be able to think of Woomba, the SNL skit, every time I see/hear Roomba? XDDDDDD

:o Ohnoes! I made Meris cry! ;___;

I know, that last part with Juliano's letter was rough. I actually cried a couple of times while writing chapter 19; if you asked me why I wouldn't even really be able to tell you. o_O I think it was "end-of-fic" angst?

And you're not a slacker! That just means that the end of your fic will be all the more powerful, because you're the last to finish! ^.~


I haven't seen the Woomba SNL skit! o_O What's it of? I love my Roomba, honestly; but the cats hate it. They take a while to get used to other people; imagine their reactions to a small, flattened oval-shaped robot vaccuum--it moves around by itself AND it makes noise! I'm just surprised Samantha hasn't tried to jump on it, because she's such a tub right now that if she did, I'm sure she'd break the damn thing. ^^

OMG you have to see the Woomba skit. It's hilarious. It's about one of those little self-propelled vaccuum units, except it randomly darts around the house and then INTO YOUR VAGINA, TO CLEAN THINGS OUT.

O_O

It's awesome. During the making of the Woomba "commercial", the women are all talking about it and then all of a sudden they're like O_O! .. . .. ^______^;;;;

Don't even talk to me about fat pets. Iggy is getting retardedly fat and I don't know what to do about it. I've tried to regulate his diet, but he becomes angry if he doesn't have enough food (or what he deems enough food).

Yes. The ferret becomes angry.

Then he throws himself around his cage and attempts to eat everything in it, like his hammock, his blanket, etc. AND HE WILL, IF YOU LET HIM. While I was out of town, I swear he gained two pound while my friend Colleen was taking care of him. I'd guess his weight at about five pounds now. That is a giant ferret.

I don't know what to do. I think I need Ferret Fat Camp. o_O;;

I say we have a Fat Pet Duel -- my 13-pound cat against your 5-pound ferret. Of course that doesn't sound very fair, weight-wise; but man I'm sure Iggy will be running circles around Sam. Although Sam can still run; it's hilarious to watch her do so.
