Well, I slept decently last night. Later, I go to drop off gifts with my bro-in-law and sister, and then I ponder what to do until Doctor Who (and am going to see if Asagi can earn my trust back after that incident a few weeks ago)

Hello Remilia! Long time no see. How's your holiday going?

FOSSILIZED WOOD GET I'VE WANTED ONCE SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH I GUESSED IT WAS EITHER A FOSSIL OR A METEORITE OF SOME KIND, BECAUSE THE BOX WEIGHED A TON (And dad mentioned picking me up something from a mineral collector).

Marty Khrushchev everyone!

@remillia: hey! happy holidays, good to see you! ^^
@bells: cool! what are you gonna do with it, display it or something else? :3
(post pics, of course)

Nichi · December 25, 2013, 11:45:54 AM

@Bella: Cool :3

This Christmas is probably most accurately described as "A Magical one"; given how a majority of my gifts thus far involve Magic: The Gathering -w-;

So anyway my dad and I (and Lulu) got invited to my brother's, nephew's and sis in law's place for xmas dinner, usually they do their own thing but they decided to invite us, her parents and a friend over as well. Things went less disastrous than planned, considering that my dad and her dad kind of hate each other (though it might be one-sided at this point? ID-even-fucking-K anymore), he seemed a lot more laid back than usual and has even become slightly more liberal / pro-workers' rights so we could have discussions about politics that didn't make me wanna poke my eye out with a fork. Luci and my bro's dog played all day and were generally cute with each other, so that was nice too. The dinner was excellent and I spent the rest of the day playing Minecraft with my nephew and talking video games with my brother (we gifted him a PS3). Things got a little freaky when my sis in law's dad started talking about DAMNED UFO SIGHTINGS (apparently there's an orange UFO that a number of people have spotted flying around their neighborhood?!??? ? I usually flat-out dismiss UFOers as crackpots but having a "relative" talk about it puts me on edge) but all in all things went okay.

As for gifts (so far):
-Petrified wood piece
-Framed vintage owl cross-stitch art (MUCH FOLK, SO WHIMSY, WOW)
-Carved moose antler (IT'S CARVED WITH AN OWL)
-Bluetooth speaker bar for my computer / tv
-Black sweater with gold studs
-Beige and navy heart-print collared shirt
-Two mori-esque headbands
-A mori-looking crocheted flower petal necklace
-A few pairs of cute undies
-Mini Ninja blender
-Pink earbuds
-Red fingerless glove / mitten convertibles
-Two day passes for a ski resort
Granted I bought several of these items for myself and was present for the purchase of several others, but I'm not complaining. uwu

Also here's a picture of me in my new shirt & sweater with my petrified wood because #yolo#swag#geology

Nichi · December 25, 2013, 07:39:27 PM

@Bella: Nice pic :3
Also, my great uncle had an interest in aliens when he was still around, as well as sci-fi in general -w-

I'll get some pics of what I received once Kari's gift for me is in...or if I get a moment to myself tomorrow for one pic I thought of -w-;

quite possibly the best thing I've ever written: Show Hide
I Like Big Books and I Cannot Lie
You Other Brothers Can't Deny
When a Novel Comes in With Some Itty Bitty Print
And a Big Old Page Count that Makes You Squint
You Get Sprung, wanna pull out your Glasses
Cause you notice that Book was not for the Masses
Deep in the Pages you're Reading
You're Hooked cause it's just so Pleasing
Oh Baby, I wanna get with ya
Read words like bourgeois
Those Jocks are out to Harm Me
But this Book just makes me so charmed, see?
Ooo, cover of smooth paper
Just see the way it tapers
It begs me Read Me, Read Me
Cause you ain't that average booby
I've seen them skimming
To hell with just the beginning
You've got me in disbelief
Got it goin' like War and Peace
I'm tired of Magazines
Tv, Tablets? I'll smash em' to smithereens
Take the average word nerd and ask them that
They'll scoff when books are flat
So, Readers! (Yeah!) Readers! (Yeah!)
You gonna be a literary leader? (Hell Yeah!)
Tell em' to Read it! (Read it!) Read it! (Read it!)
Read that Thick-ass book!
Baby got Stacked!

10/10

Time for the annual trip to Maryland that almost didn't happen this year but did anyway. There should be no noticeable interruptions of service.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Nichi · December 26, 2013, 10:46:59 AM

Does that mean that, once I have everything ready and the extra money to ship it, I can send your gift to you?

Chocofreak13 · December 26, 2013, 12:25:47 PM

wait wait wait

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN CAN I STILL DO IT

@leaf: thankyou. -w-
