Wheee~

Sister, brother-in-law and nephew came over. Made potato soup. Everyone loved it, which made me really happy.

Now I'm gunna go read Lolita while drinking egg nog with my step-brother

Merry Christmas, guys

Today was a very busy day for me, it seemed like. I got to talk to on the phone for five minutes, and she happens to have both the cutest voice and and the cutest accent in the world. I made waffles with my sister, and ate them with her husband and our eldest brother. Then my family opened presents, which lasted for about an hour.

I got a DS Lite (from parents), Phoenix Wright: Trials And Tribulations (Patrick, brother), Warm Strangers by Vienna Teng (Ch00 and Christian, sister and brother-in-law), a print by Allison A Carmichael (Brian, eldest brother) and a stuffed squirrel which I named Nutters Squigglefluff McSnow ;0; (from Ch00 and Christian again. Ch00 thought up his middle name, but I'm still unsure of what she actually said, so I'm just goin' with "Squigglefluff" XD)

But I can't play my DS until I get the right kind of charger for it XDD (it came with one for the normal DS, I think)

Anyway, I'm just here saying merry Christmas and tallying up how much work I've done this month. Although one of these things was spread out across multiple months.

Art:

Full, very large CG for my parents (Reborn Into Eden) - Sketch, line art, CG - Double digit hours of work.
Small, chibi image for a friend - Sketch, line art, CG - Probably not more than 5 hours.
Picture for another friend - Sketch, thick-ink - 4 hours at the very most.
Picture for a third friend - Sketch, line art, CG - 5-7 hours.
Photo taken for my parents - Dress up, camera angles, picking image and editting - 1 hour.
Poem written for brother-in-law - Writing process - 31 minutes.
Poem written for sister - Writing process - About 40-55 minutes.
25,000+ words written for a contest hosted by with at least 5,000 left to do - Writing process, research, spell checks, grammar checks, rereading, notes, references - 100+ hours of work strewn across four months.

Housework/Christmas work:

Washing dishes everyday - Too many hours to count.
Cleaning, laundry, animal care - Same as above.
Presents for family - Picking, organizing for every member, calculating time and money, buying, wrapping - 20 hours at least.
Christmas tree - Finding, getting, bringing home, setting up, decorating, cleaning up after - 10 hours.
Random things - 10+ hours.

Total: Somewhere around 162.8 hours of work. If not more. Christ. I'm not really trying to show off, because wow, um, no, that's not really something to be proud of. In fact I'm creeped out at how much it was and I plan to never do it again XD
I was just curious as to how much I actually did.
Didn't get a very clear number, but oh well.

Merry Christmas again, everyone


'Kay bye.

Just scrapped like, half my gallery. 'Cause it was all old and ugly.

Turtle's working on somethin' new, as well as a written word contest entry

Have a night day all~

Ever just sit there for a moment, clicking the mouse at a button that doesn't work?
...
I just did.
God, I want more DGM, for God's sake(spoilerdon'tlook) Kanda just got back. This is the part where Kanda and Allen profess their undying love for one another! (nah, that'd be so out of character, but I still think Allen's got a crush on little ol' Yuu)

'Kay bye.

(Take out the spaces)

Am I the only one who thought it was COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY RETARDED of an almost-dead Lenalee, a pretty worn-out Miranda, Arystar, Lavi and Bookman to blow their cover and try to fight three (or four if you count the twins as two people) Noahs and THE MILLENNIUM EARL?

No? 'Kay, just checking.

Oh, and Vienna Teng OWNS.


(Yes, I have gotten into D.Gray-Man Yes, I am still alive. And yes, I am slowly working on something.)

'Kay bye.
