MERRY CHRISTMAS!

So, I was going to do this post tomorrow (as in, after I go to bed and wake up and find time to get on the computer), but then I thought "y'know, I think for those of my readers/blog followers who check my blog first thing when they wake up (that's probably none of you, lol) it'd be nice to have this picture sitting there waiting for them, instead of them finding it at some obscene time at night"

That's why I"m posting now

And what is this picture?

This is my absolute favorite Christmas paper I have found this year. Well-- second favorite (that one of wolf Link and Midna by the fire is probably my favorite)

I just love the idea of Luigi going around with a gong and waking everyone up on Christmas morning

This picture was actually done in a series (it was the best in the series, in my opinion the rest weren't colored, but I shouldn't judge on that alone) of the 12 days of Christmas

And it was done for fanfic they've written (based on ch20 of that fanfic, and you'll find the link to said fanfic on this pic, if I'm not mistaken I checked, and I'm not mistaken). The fanfic is alright. It's set in the SSBB universe, and I suppose I might enjoy it more if the main character wasn't Pikachu. Idk. I only read ch20, but then got bored, so... yeah

Anyhoo

I'll probably update this post throughout the day, maybe, giving status reports on what's going on/ranting about my presents and all that. Depends. I plan on shutting my computer off before I go to bed (I hardly ever do that) in attempts to spend time with my family, like I should, lol. Not that I wouldn't if the computer was on, but... whatever

See you in roughly eight hours!

EDIT! (10:46 Christmas Morning)

I GOT A 3DS!! WHOOOOOOOOOO

*anyway, now it's breakfast time, so I need to go eat*

UPDATE! (2:05 Christmas afternoon)

I has a 3DS~! I has a 3DS~!! *dances*

Me? Write? You're kidding! You'll have to 'scuse me for a few days while I play through KH3D.

In other news, though, I also got a nice "learn Japanese" computer software (it's like Rosetta stone, but it's cheaper)

I got an "Art behind the series" of Avatar (the last Airbender, though I really shouldn't have to specify)

I got a REALLY PRETTY Zelda 2013 calendar

I got the Last Story (video game) for the Wii. I"ll start it after I finish KH3D. (But it also came with a CD with music from the game (not a lot of music) and the official art book! WHOOO!! *dances some more*)

And then... magik got me a cool dragon necklace

and

OH YEAH!

I got all the Nintendo Power magazines I wanted

WEll

not issue #200. Amazon didn't have that one in stock (and Amazon rocks, btw.)

We also got, as a family, Harry Potter disks/movies 1-8 on blu-ray. 'cept disks 6-8 don't work. But, the WBshop is awesome, and had the same thing for only roughly ten dollars more. I figured that was worth getting it brand new, so that's on it's way and as soon as it gets here we'll swap them out

Anyway

*starts dancing again*

I has a 3DS~!! I has a 3~D~S~~~!!!!!

EDIT! (1:36 AM Christmas-- I mean, the day after Christmas)

I surprisingly haven't put a lot of effort into KH3D quite yet. I'll get to work on that, though. My highlight of this game? The intro. Not only does it look AMAZING but the bottom screen features Mickey directing like he did in Fantasia. BUT! Not only is he directing, he's appropriately responding to what's happening on the top screen.

AND THEN

AND THEN

that part where he jumps into the screen (while Sora and Riku are facing Old man Xehanort). He jumps from the bottom screen to the top!! TALK ABOUT CREATIVITY! I mean, c'mon! That was smart of them! I'm impressed. Seriously. They made it interesting and have Mickey react to what's going on on the top screen

I love it

Anyway

I think I"m going to bed, because I'm too tired to play any more KH3D (this might've been different had I been in the middle of playing it, though. I paused in favor of playing Mission Mode on Days with magik, now that we have two DSs to play it on. then I enjoyed my Avatar book, watched Doctor Who and... yeah)

That's it! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
