senashentaRight, so here's the actual journal entry that I promised, since I fail at keeping up with my LJ the last couple of weeks. =/
So let's see. Basically, lots of Christmas shopping and stuff. I'm pretty much done now, except for a couple odds-and-ends, and one thing that I ordered and am waiting for it to come in. (Lee's gift, which is this really awesome wall clock in the shape of a Gibson guitar, in red and 1:2 scale to a real guitar! :3 I kind of want it myself lmao. xD;;)
I still have to finish putting together the gifts for Uncle Len/Aunt Clare and Uncle Alec/Aunt Brenda. For them and for my step-siblings this year I'm putting together gift bags with drink mixes that I've made; Chai Latte Coffee Mix, Bavarian Mint Coffee Mix, Orange Nutmeg Coffee Mix, Russian Tea Mix and Dutch Hot Cocoa Mix. All handmade with love from House of Yum! ♥ Hehe~
This week I have to deliver the gift baskets I put together for Dr. K and Dr. W's offices, and on Thursday I'm getting my hair done so I have a basket for Tosha and the girls at the salon too. Other than that I'm done, so I can chill and totally not have to worry about Christmas anymore. I was so stressed at the beginning of this month, too. >>;
Anyhoo, so this morning Dad came up to exchange gifts with my brother and I; which is to say, he and I exchanged gifts and he gave my brother presents, but my brother had nothing to give in return because he hasn't had a job in like two years so he has basically no money. ~_~;; Whatever.
I got Dad two new books that he wanted (the new Pern and Shanarra novels) and a Star Wars poster, and a massive gift bag full of cookies, chocolates, candies and generally a ton of stuff that's very, very tasty. I got Lois a Pomeranian bobble-head (so cute!) and made her a necklace, and got her a set of Christmas cookie cutters.
My brother got a couple of swords for his collection (katanas; very nice ones!) and Dad got me the new Valdemar novel (eeee!! ♥♥♥!!), an ipod shuffle since my mp3 player died a couple months back, and (the best part) he got me a DVD movie set. OF ALL FOUR CRITTERS MOVIES. 8D!! HOLY HELL ASDGH;KL YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPEH THESE MOVIES MAKE ME. KEKEKEKEKE!! >X3I'm totally not two movies into a Critters marathon right as I'm typing this, either. Really. >.>;;
LOL Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the third one. xD;;
Apparently I have another gift that Dad's not finished putting together as well, so whenever he's done I'll get that one too. .__.;
Other than Christmas stuff, I've been dealing with NAUGHTY FUCKING KITTIES lately. >/ Tia and Juna have decided the last couple of weeks that every night and every time I'm out of the house they're going to get into EVERYTHING. They get into the cupboards and onto the shelves, pull everything out, knock everything over, and chew everything up.
When I got home this afternoon they had pulled all the toilet paper out of the bathroom, thrown it around and shredded it EVERYWHERE. I literally got so mad and frustrated when I saw the mess that I started crying. =__=;; I've been trying everything to get them to stop (short of beating them senseless when they do these kind of things, obviously) and I'm having no luck so far.
I've decided that, at least for now, the two of them (along with Loki, who insists on eating my houseplants every night while I'm sleeping) are going to be locked in the back room when I'm asleep and when I'm going to be out of the apartment for any length of time (Loki is only going to be put back there at night though.) There's a lot less they can get into in the back room, so hopefully that will mitigate things. If not... idek what I'm going to do. -__-;;
At least Dion makes me feel better. When I'm upset he comes and snuggles up under my chin and purrs at me. He's a doll. ♥
Moving on from bratty cats!
I mainlined all of the Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne anime this last week. >__>; I'm horrible like that. But it was a series I'd always wanted to see and I had a chance to download it, so I did. And it was ADDICTIVE. @__@; I have such a soft spot for magical girl anime. It's terrible. Haha.
KKJ aside, I've really been on a Tanemura Arina kick lately. I love her art and storylines, and the other day I picked up the last two volumes of The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross. IT'S OVER SADFAISE. But it had a good ending and it was generally a sweet story, and the art is so pretty!
I miss my Haine cosplay from Gentlemen's Alliance though; it doesn't fit me anymore. ;~; I think that's one Imma replace, because I really love that outfit. And I really want to do a cosplay from KKJ now too, but idk if I can afford it on top of all the other ones I'm supposed to be doing this year. XD We'll see, I guess...
Oh, and I've been collecting Littlest Pet Shop animals. I totally blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papercut917 for this. XD; ♥ They're freakishly cute and addictive. I have something like 33 of them now. I'm running out of room on my shelves for all my little figures lmao. I either need more shelves or less figures. By which I mean, of course, I need more shelves. xD;;
Aaaand... I think that's about it, I guess. For now anyway. I'm sure I forgot stuff because there was so much for me to write about. Oops. Heh. Anyway~
EDIT: Oh, and the other day the cops were here again. Because the fucktards downstairs THREATENED TO BURN THE FUCKING HOUSE DOWN.

Date: 2010-12-13 09:34 am (UTC)I totally did NOT beg for it..___.;;;BOHAHAHA I got you addicted to LPS XDDD *has like 60 now* XPPP *shot* And I STILL can't find that damn otter. x.x;
Holy shit your neighbors are SCARY. Can't they get evicted or something? Especially if they keep bothering you? O.o;

Date: 2010-12-14 02:03 am (UTC)YOU DID ASDGH AS IF I NEEDED ANOTHER COLLECTION. XD;; And yeaaaah, neither can I and I even looked in Toronto when I was there last week. .__.; LOL it's become like this massive quest for me to find the damn thing. xD;;
The neighbours 1) buy/sell drugs out of their home 2) turned the driveway into a literal garbage dump 3) have the cops here for drunk & disorderly/domestic violence/etc. ALL THE DAMN TIME 4) neglect their kittens and leave them OUT IN THE SNOW ALL NIGHT WITH NO SHELTER and 5) HAVE THREATENED TO BURN THE HOUSE DOWN. That is grounds for eviction as far as I'm concerned, but convincing the landlord seems to be another matter all together. (Next time they leave their kitten outside in -30 degree weather I'm calling the SPCA to come and rescue it, though. At least I can do something about that.)

Date: 2010-12-14 05:22 am (UTC)Augh! I don't get it! I've seen like EVERY other SE EXCEPT him! *flails* UNFAIR, DAMMIT. :|
Sheesh, shouldn't the cops be able to make them leave no matter what your landlord says? They should all be arrested. :/

Date: 2010-12-14 05:27 am (UTC)Yeaaaah, idk he's like a phantom LPS or something. xD; I did get a giraffe and a zebra the other day though, so I'm temporarily happy lol.
Oh yes, they've been arrested. Multiple times. But for some reason they just aren't being kicked out. I need to call the landlord and talk to him again, and let him know about them threatening to burn the place down. I dunno if he knows about that yet. =/

Date: 2010-12-13 11:08 am (UTC)Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, eh? It's so much love. If you cosplay someone from it I might end up dragging my Jeanne v2 costume out again, although a LOT of if needs to be remade and I would need a new wig because the old one was totally craptastic. XD
I hope you can tame the kitties. I'd be so pissed off with them, having to clean up the mess every time they get into something, and by the sounds of it it's not a little mess, but a disaster. *hugs* I dunno what to tell you aside from maybe putting them in their carriers after they're bad and letting them out later, though you've probably tried that.
Your Christmas card is on the way! ^___^

Date: 2010-12-14 02:09 am (UTC)I love that series so much now. ♥ I'm seriously considering doing a Maron school uniform cosplay, because the uniforms in KKJ were really adorable. In which case it would be AWESOME to have you there as Jeanne. X3 But like I said, I dunno if I can afford it with all the other cosplays I'm supposed to be doing in 2011... and with having lost almost 100lbs I have to replace EVERYTHING. =/
They used to be so well behaved, too! I don't know what happened! I guess they're just going through a phase, they're about that age. But if I don't impress upon them that it's NOT OKAY then they'll just KEEP doing it. So for now I'm putting them in the back room when they aren't going to be supervised, and dealing with them acting up right away when they do something wrong and I AM around/awake. We'll see how it goes. ♥
YAY! I still have to mail my Christmas cards, so basically no one is getting one until after Christmas at this point. But I ran out of funds, so I don't really have much of a choice. :| Christmas is expensive!
