I know this may sound a bit consumeristic of me, but I'm going to post what I got for Christmas. Everyone else is doing it, so...there.

A "hoodie" that is also somewhat fluffy
Two ThinkGeek shirts: "Shrodinger's Cat is Dead" and "Pi"

$120 in Newegg Gift Certificates
The Thursday Next novels The Eyre Affair and Something Rotten. (I'm going to reread that series)
Two Venetian Masks (for Carnival)
My dad's old PDA (which is an M515. Mine is an M500. That's 15 points of l337ness better, I suppose)
A new NOKIA cell phone (with camera! ^_^ ). I shall name it Sakura-chan. It's black.
A spindle of 50 DVD-Rs
A G5 laser mouse
A Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi ExtremeMusic Sound Card
------------------------------

With the various monetary units I aquired, I bought:
A Saitek Eclipse Keyboard (I'll post a review soon). (blue lights r0xx0r!)
A new D-Link DWL-G510 Wireless Card (It works sooo much better than my old card)
A Lite-On Sw33t DVD Burner, black (to match Motoko-chan)
The Prima Strategy Guide for Battlefield 2
(soon to buy) BF2: Special Forces
Japanese for DUMMIES (Great series of reference books!)
(soon to buy)Something from ThinkGeek. Make suggestions in comment form, 'cause I can't decide what's best. Everything is just too l337!

Paradise Found

Finally! I finally found my old digital camera, which I've been looking for for (I hate doubling those words) weeks! So, in celebracion, I took a few pictures of my desk, for you all to see how clean (not) it is. Enjoy:

On Left: My alarm clock (it forces me to get out of bed, being all the way across the room), My games, planner, ipod (Hikari-chan), PDA (old), and empty bag of throat drops (it's waterproof and sturdy. The bag, I mean)
On Right: My "To Do" list, crappy DELL keyboard, new G5 Mouse ( ^_^ ), Speakers (crappy tambien), Pens, Base of my lamp (too bright), my Shelf of Sentimentality +10 (TM), and the bottom of my Board of Random Crap.

Oh, right. I forgot about t3h M4tr1x.

Pre-Christmas

I'm not really excited about Christmas for some reason. Uh oh...I think my athiestism might be setting in! O.O'' Oh well, I'll have fun on Christmas day, I hope.

I'm feeling antisocial today. Need videogames. Bleh to spending time with family.

In other (happier) news, I got a $100 newegg gift certificate from grandparents (mother's side). I can upgrade one of three things for my computer. Which should it be? (comment)

1. Sound card: Buy a Creative X-Fi (ExtremeMusic). It has t3h awsome virtual 3d-ness, so I don't need expensive speakers/headphones.

2. RAM: I only have 512 megs, and I'm a gamer. (Processer= P4 2.4 gig, w/ Radeon 9800 PRO Graphics Card). I could get 1 gig for $100. Should I?

3. Periferals: My keyboard is loud, and my mouse sucks (for gaming and photoshop). I could get a Saitek Eclipse keyboard (blue lights in the dark) and a Logitek G5 Gaming mouse (t3h awsome mouse that PGGamer staff uses). The keyboard is quiet enough to chat and write on my computer whithout everyone in the house hearing.

I can't make up my mind. I think either option 2 or 3 are best. I'll wait until after christmas before ordering, because I think I'll get more coupons and maybe some comp stuff. ^_^

5 Things

I've been tagged, grr.

The Rules <-as always

The first player of this game starts with the topic "My Five Weird Habits" and people who get tagged have to write a Xanga (or other blog) entry about their 5 weird habits, as well as set the rules clearly. At the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list them in your entry. Don't forget to leave them comments to tell them you tagged them and to read your site to see the details.

1.) I read while walking. I know it's not that uncommon, but it's really dangerous, mostly because I'm a clutz. I've been trying to limit this. If you see me doing this, slap me, please..

2.) I have multiple personalities (sorta). Most people have "moods", but I think I take it too far. Here are some of my "moods":
--Ecchimaru: "ecchi" in japanese means "pervert". This is when I burst out laughing because of subtle sexual connotations (hint: waffles). I blame Jason for corrupting my mind. >_>
--Samurai (Hagakure): When I'm angry at incompetence/republicans/people I get really cynical and devolve into the state of mind I had when researching hagakure: "the way of the samurai." I usually try to suppress this, or I attack the offending person. (hint: last year, umbrella, that asshole in adv. world history I)
--Sapumaru: "sappy" maru. The most cliched and overly romantic of people, this "personality" resides mostly in my head. I try to keep it there. If I don't: bad love poetry. *shudder*
--Emomaru: I am a failure at everything. I really am. But black is too trendy (I wear enough as it is)

3.) When I'm really annoyed (super-killing time-annoyed, only happens about once a year, hopefully) I develope a nervous twitch in my right eye, which annoys me even more. It usually goes away after about an hour of not being near the offending person.

4.) I can get tired easily, when I am content/happy. If there is nothing that needs attention, I'll rest my eyes. (Like a screen saver! ^_^ ) This usually happens when I'm around Jenny-chan (Like a cat, I am, ne?)

5.) The wierdest habit of mine has to be the japanese thing. By this I mean that I use japanese expressions (nani, ne, konnichiwa, "sou desu ka", etc) in normal speech. I'm learning japanese, and I think I've got it into my mind to practice as much as I can. Well, now it's hardcoded into my behaviour. (I also spell things differently, either british or phonetically. Example, "behaviour"). I apologize if you don't like japan, or think I'm being a baka gaijin "stupid foreigner" trying to imitate japanese people. I assure you, by now it's all subconcious. ^_^''

Ok, now for tagging... hmm... Justin (If you ever read this), and anyone who reads this who hasn't done it already.

Web-log

Ok, ok. Since I figured out people actually read this thing, I'll start making it interesting, ne? Comment (that little button at the bottom) on what you'd like to see in this blog, otherwise it will be personal stuff, anime, and technogeekiness, 24/7.

^_^'' Thank you for your consideration. (please don't hurt me!)

Love: Aftermath

Omae wa kirei na to atama ga ii de gozaumasu, ne?

You figured it out. That didn't take long. I actually cried last night, tears of joy. I can't wait for monday!

(Oh, and I hope you do well on your SAT today! Ganbatte!!)

Love?

Ok, I think I'm on the tipping point. Wait...no.. I've gone past it. I'm now tumbling down into the ditch. It's a nice warm fluffy ditch...but very frustrating. You know how it is. That whole "I want a new chance at love, to heal the scars in my heart and yours" stuff. So, there.

I love you.

I said it. You don't know if you are really who you think I think you are, and are getting confused now. I know. Because I just can't come out and say it, without this veil of secrecy. Also, I think I'm broadcasting it to the world, which seems to be the best way to say it. *deep breath* Yep...

Now you're thinking, "Does he mean me? No...that can't be. He wouldn't be that stupid to try to get into my heart, cause I already love another person. So it must be someone else." Of course you'll read this and think, "Wait, so that means it is me!"

Thus the vague paradox continues. You should confront me about it. But until then, this will be my only way to talk to you. Think of it like a love note; except it's not from Anonymous, it's to Anonymous. But you are a very specific girl, and I love you.

Omae wa daisuke desu.
