Believe it or not, I HAVEN'T been killed in some gruesome murder a la demon (god damn you Beldr, damn you back to Hell) or by a knife in the back (which was easily Umineko inspired, I'm sure). On the 25th I didn't turn on my computer, but instead played my new game that I'd been waiting MONTHS for and finally got. *wheezes * Did it again on the 26th. And it was... nice. I can't really explain it, but it was really nice being off of the internet and just... playing video games, I guess. XDDDD So I did it everyday up until technically 1 a.m. this morning, because I had to see if any of my cosplay members had last-minute messages they needed to get to me. So... alright.
:christmastree: CHRISTMAS :christmastree: Overall it was really nice, and I got a lot of stuff. I remember last year's being actually pretty disappointing, so I'm glad this one went really well.

The one overriding comment I can say for it is that if I give someone a list, if there's an item on there they can't find they shouldn't improvise, but just move on. LOL oh well; I appreciate the sentiment.
Inevitable list:
What I asked for (only VG's are included):
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor [DS]
Sands of Destrcution [DS]
Baroque [Wii]
Baten Kaitos [Gamecube]
Avalon Code [DS]
*Jump Super Stars [DS]
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings [DS]
Knights in the Nightmare [DS]
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks [DS]
*Code Geass R2 [DS]
Nostalgia [DS]
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn [Wii]
Professor Latyon 1 and 2 [DS/DS]
Valkeyrie Profile: The Covenant [DS]
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia [DS]
My World, My Way [DS]
What I got:
.. The Rocky Horror PIcture Show DVD
.. Young Frankenstein DVD
.. Angel Wars DVD
.. Sweeney Todd DVD
.. Corpse Bride DVD [[full screen, I need to trade it in.... :/ ]]
.. Popcorn tin
.. Lux-Pain DS
.. A Megaman game for DS [[because it was attached to the Lux-Pain in a two-for-twenty thing]]
.. Carmex [[LOL]]
.. Traveling mug/thermos set
.. Felt blanket [[with owls on it.

]]
.. Ferror Roche [[or however the hell you spell it]]
.. Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor [[finallyyyyyyyyy]]
.. Fella plushie [[from dA]]
.. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days [[oops LOL]]
.. Final Fantasy and the Crystal Bearer [[or whatever it's called; my mom got it for me instead of XII: Revenant wings but oh well; the
game looks decent]]
.. Baten Kaitos Origins [[I meant the first, but dumb me forgot to number it; oh well. Sadly it came in one of those oh-we-only-got-
the-disc boxes from Game Stop, and I actually never buy a game if it doesn't have the case, but oh well.
^___^; ]]
.. DRAGON speech-recognition software [[my mom remembered me mentioning this once. OMG]]
.. a couple of shirts
.. FLY Fusion pen-top computer
.. a FLY journal
.. three FLY notebooks
.. a Naruto posterzine and dragon-book [[my 6 year-old brother demanded my mom get me the Naruto poster-zine XDDDDD]]
.. 8 GB flash-drive
.. Nougami Neuro Nendoroid [[from Riida, though I have to give her thirty bucks for it.

(not Riida's fault; my dad's own rule. :/ ) ]]
.. $15 Wal-Mart gift card for fabric [[from Ika-chan]]
.. a shiny violin box from Nightshade [[is that what I call you on here?]]
And I overlooked some other things that I either forgot or didn't really think needed mentioning. LOL Before you comment, I have multiple houses and a pretty large family. ... That's doing pretty good financially, I'll admit.
Hmmm... the FLY and Dragon... think my mom's pushing me to write some more? XDDDDD [[it was actually because of how much she new I DID write LOL]]
Again, overall good.

My only real dissapointment is that I didn't get that Baroque game which I foolishly got really excited for--I knew it was an older game and I probably wouldn't get it. LOL I should probably put some of the money I got from my family towards making up the list of stuff I didn't get, but I think I need to put it towards Cosplay. XDDDD;;
I have enough money now to buy a tablet. But I'm not going to.
NEW YEAR'S
Have a happy, happy New Year from me to you. See you in 2010!!!
PHOTO SHOOT
Coeur d' Cosplay had a photoshoot today and it was awesome!!! We did winter!Hetalia and winter!Reborn; everyone showed up except :iconuchia-avenger-sasu: (

) which was pretty cool. Darn you, Sasu's work, darn you. Anyway, I'm going through pictures now about what I want to put up and what I don't; god there are a lot. XDDDD I chose my favorite from each pose and am now going to siphon off only those I want up. Dammit it's a lot of work. ;_____;
Anyway, my winter!Bel was actually really kick-ass, and while it wasn't a huge leap, it was.... really, really awesome. XDDD You'll see.
Of the two shoots, the Reborn! one was really, really short, but I think it was my favorite. It was actively snowing which made some really sweet shots, and although

is a cruel photo-mistress (even ignoring me when I asked her to take some of my sillier shots

) the ones she orchestrated came out amazingly bad-ass. And the light was overcast and gave the whole shoot this dark, blue-tinted appearance that was... awesome. And since it was winter!Bel, Giotto, and winter!Hibari, that was a great tone.
I'll have some of those pics up soon.
END Thank you god!!!
See you next year, I AM going to do a gallery cleaning, and I'm going to try and not curse so much!!! Bye!!!! ^_^
