Guess who's baaack... sorta. I had an... interesting week at my Dad's, and ALL OF YOU HAVE TO READ IT! BWAHAHAHA!

After I got off my flight, I discovered my dad wasn't there to pick me up. SO I was sat down in a stool and waited, and waited, and waited, until I started to freak out and some lady took me down to someplace quieter. Where that place was, I don't know, because on the way I found my Dad. It turn out he had to stand in line for 2 hours until someone finally brought him up to the check in counter, and by that time my plane had arrived.

After we went home and I greeted my cat (who is just gargantuan, I mean really, her belly is about 4 inches from the floor), we set out to do last-minute Christmas shopping (mostly for me, actually) So I got Animal Crossing: Wild World, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (darn you, Snape!), and Queste. Since we were going down to see my nephews and brother, and it was Christmas time, we also had to get them something. According to my brother, they all wanted Guitar Hero (world tour), which I thought would be a terrible game. So the next day we bought that, and on Christmas Eve we set out for my brother's.

The traffic was nuts, but luckily we only got stuck a couple of times. After checking out our motel room (which was filthy and didn't have any shampoo in the showers) and grabbing a bite to eat, we arrived at my brother's house. I discovered that I had gotten some things, Anne of Green Gables, Yoshi's Island, and a gift card to Target. So I hung out with my nephews after that and watched them open most of their Christmas presents (except guitar hero).

Ooh, I forgot to mention they have the pretties cat, Kirk. He's a Siamese Lynx point and is just absolutely stunning...

*ahem* So, on Christmas day we went back and watched my nephews open up Guitar Hero. They exploded. So for a while there I just watched them play it, but then I started to feel left out, so I asked if I could play the drums. Well, I did, but it was on beginner. Boring. So I tried the guitar on beginner. Still boring. So then I switched to easy... MUCH more satisfying. I'm best at the base, but I'd have to say singing it the easiest. The drums absolutely kill me.

After saying good-bye and heading home (I finished Harry Potter 6 in the car, the ending made me cry), I got a few more Christmas presents. Some clothing, including a nice blue sweater/jacket, some new shoes (which I desperately needed), and Silverwing and Darkwing, two books by one of my favorite authors, Kenneth Oppel.

When i got back home I discovered that my mom wasn't there, either, but she turned up much faster than my dad. I ate at Subway again and returned to find even MORE presents waiting for me: And electric pencil sharpener, 72 No. 2 pencils, 4 erasers, graph paper, 5 drawing pads, and two more DS games, My Sims and My Sims Kindgom. I've never gotten this many presents in my life (because my wishlist never has more than 4 things on it).

Whew, now that that's over with, I can do something I've been waiting to do for a long time.....
