My Wifey, I received your card today!!!! Which is odd since there is no post on Sunday's, but it is only because no one checked the mail box on Friday, so YAY!!! Thank you very much. It is now with my other cards. ♥ ♥ ♥I hope everyone had a good or a relatively good Christmas. Mine was actually pretty good; I wasn't really expecting much (both out of the actual holiday/presents), but overall it was nice. Mum and I stayed home and did nothing and dad came over for Christmas Eve/Day. We basically ate, watched TV/movies, ate, slept and ate some more.
Now the oblig present moment:
You sometimes when you make up a Christmas list and you put down something that you're 99% sure you won't get, but thought you'd put down anyway? Or just set yourself up for relatively low expectations overall? That's kind of how I was feeling about some stuff on my list; most of the stuff I put on I knew I had a fair chance at getting, but a couple of items I was like 'that'll never happen, but whatever. *writes it down anyway*. Yeah, well that 1% did happen because my dad got me two things I didn't really think he would.
1st: the Kobo eReader. It's so cute and tiny and cute and book-like. :D It's more of a basic eReader with not a whole lot, but for what I want/need it for it'll do perfectly. I also know 100% that this will work within Canada. I got so confused looking at other eReaders on the market and hearing that they worked fine in Canada and then hearing they didn't and people had a lot of hassles with them. So there we are. I also got gift cards to the book store where I can buy books/ebooks and now I cannot make my mind up as to what I want now. *headdesk. The cool thing is with the Kobo is that they pre-load 100 classic novels (i.e. Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, War and Peace ect.) onto it when you buy it, so even if I cannot make my mind up as to what I want to buy I do have a lot of choices to choose from right now.
2nd: SEASON 1 OF SHERLOCK (BBC) ON DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Since the invention of boxed set tv seasons my dad has never once bought me one before even though they show up on my lists every year. I am very excited. :D
But I think the best present of all is the pair of slippers my mum bought me from Superstore (like WalMart). She got me these nice light grey slippers that can be worn both inside and outside, but she realized when she was wrapping them on Christmas Eve that she picked up one Large sized slipper and one Small sized slipper. XD So now I have a slipper for one foot.
Today I had to work the Boxing Day morning shift. I haven't worked a Boxing Day in about 4/5 years and I remember why I hate to. The second we opened our doors at 7AM it was lined up to and pretty much out the door from that point on. It was crazy. PEOPLE, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SLEEP IN ON BOXING DAY!!! I hate working retail on occasions like that. For those of you who may not be familiar, Boxing Day in Canada is like shopping on Black Friday in the US, tons of deals/sales go on and it's nuts. I had to get up at 5:30am this morning (I have not been up that early for any purpose in years) and I fully support that 5:30am should be illegal. I am going to bed soon and it's probably the earliest I've been to bed since I was, like, 10 years old. Can you tell I'm a night person? :P

Date: 2010-12-27 07:08 am (UTC)areat work. :D :D :D (the company I work for bought BORDERS in Australia, so we sell a lot of the same stuff :3).I went into work hungover this morning. D: It was terrible. I had a Christening on Boxing Day, so I didn't have to deal with the after Xmas exchanges. Today was relatively slow, which was good. I just wasn't in the mood for anything, though. :P Haha!

Date: 2010-12-27 03:12 pm (UTC)That Kobo e-reader looks AWESOME. I've never seen those before! That's such a perfect present since you love books - now you have a whole library you can carry around! <333
Also, ZOMG SHERLOCK. \o/ Now you don't have to watch it repeatedly on your computer, lmfao. I want that show to come back, the BBC has eaten my soooouuul with all this stuff.
5:3o SHOULD be illegal. Getting up in the morning should be illegal, too. *nods* I hope you slept well! I LOVES YOU, WIFEY!!!!!

Date: 2010-12-29 06:18 am (UTC)I love having it now for convenience as well as 'OMG NEW TOY! YAY!' . Now I can save space by having books on that and now if I want to travel or go out with a book I don't have to lug around a huge hardcover or just a pocket book.
OMG Watch Sherlock!!! I think you would really love it. :)
(no subject)
Date: 2010-12-29 07:43 am (UTC)Yes, that's the one thing I think would be coolest about a digital book reader, being able to have so many right at your fingertips without lugging them around. Especially since you and I are both basically Rory Gilmore and carry books with us just in case, that makes it so much easier.
I DID WATCH SHERLOCK!!! :D I told you, didn't I? I thought I did. Back in, like, Septemberish. That's why I want it to come back, because three episodes was not enough. THAT LAST ONE, HOLY SHIT, THE AMOUNT OF AWESOME. I need to watch that again, I only did once.
I'D BE HIS BITCH...I MEAN, HOLY SHIT. GOOD THING IT'S NOT SOMEONE THEY DON'T KNOW OR ELSE THEY CAN'T COME UP WITH A PLAN TO ESCAPE LIKE THE GANDER OF BOSSES (YES, GANDER OF BOSSES. I JUST MADE THAT UP) THEY ARE. The Knights of Camelot, THEY ARE A GANDER OF BOSSES. xDDD ARTHUR WAKES UP FROM HIS COMA AND HE'S ALL "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? WHERE THE FUCK AM I? WHY IS YOUR FUCKING JACKET ON ME, MERLIN? IT SMELLS LIKE SECRETS AND BLUEBERRIES"...CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'D IMAGINE MERLIN SMELLS LIKE. SECRETS AND BLUEBERRIES....Wait. OMG. HAVE YOU SEEN THE END OF S3 OF MERLIN YET? BECAUSE, YEAH, I NEED TO SQUEE WITH YOU OVER THIS EPICNESS. *flails around endlessly*)
(no subject)
Date: 2010-12-29 08:09 am (UTC)like I totally have to.OMG YES, YOU DID TELL YOU OR I READ IT ON YOUR JOURNAL AND I AM TOTALLY DYSLEXIC AND READ YOUR COMMENT WRONG. :D WHY DID THEY MAKE ONLY THREE EPISODES? WHY, BBC? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????? Bastards.
I see her and you comment back and forth with each other and it always makes me LULZ.
NO! I FAIL AND STILL HAVE NOT SEEN THE END OF S3 OF MERLIN. *sad panda* I'm working my way there and should be finished it by the weekend. Hopefully. Unless work decides to kick my ass again.
I shall never be able to look at Merlin again and think of blueberries.

Date: 2010-12-29 08:20 am (UTC)YOU WERE TIRED, IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. :D MOFFAT, I AM DISPLEASED WITH YOU. I KNOW, I KNOW. DOCTOR WHO > THAN MOST EVERYTHING IN IMPORTANCE, BUT WE NEEDED MORE THAN THREE EPISODES OF SHERLOCK, IT WAS BASICALLY THE MEANEST TELEVISION TEASE EVER. "OH YOU WANT SOME AWESOME MODERN DAY SHERLOCK HOLMES? LOL, HERE YOU GO. *WRITES THREE EPISODES* OH, YOU ENJOYED THAT? WELL THAT'S IT FOR NOW, BITCHES!" *cries for days*
OMFG DO IIIIIT. DOOOOO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, IT IS SO DAMN EPIC, I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THIS. AGKDFKFJDFSIOFOI. WHAT EPISODE ARE YOU ON?
LOL, have you gotten to the Eye of the Phoenix yet? Arthur's just like, "ALL RIGHT, A QUEST" and then he gets to the Place of Questing and I was like, "DUDE. I DIDN'T KNOW ARTHUR WAS GOING TO VISIT ORTHANC. SARUMAN, HOMIE, WHERE U AT?" AND THEN MERLIN FOLLOWS HIM, ACCOMPANIED BY
MY MEDIEVAL SHAG BUDDYGWAINE, AND THEY'RE LIKE, "HELL YEAH, A QUEST" (COURAGE+MAGIC+STRENGTH = OT3), AND THERE ARE THESE BEAST THINGS, AND AND I'M ALL "DUDE, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS MINAS MORGUL, DO WE GET TO SEE THE WITCHKING? SOMEONE GRAB A MACE, QUICK."Merlin kind of makes me react like I'm on crack....
LMFAO YES. Sometimes when he makes a particularly sweet facial expression, I now think of blueberries. xD

No, I haven't watch Eye of the Phoenix yet, BUT!!!! that's the next one that I need to watch.
Aww, Blueberry Merlin. ♥ ♥

Date: 2010-12-29 09:38 pm (UTC)I LOOOOOVE YOOOU WIFEYYYY. AND THAT ICON IS PRETTY MUCH PERFECT. Thank you! :D I shall save it and add it! I need to get rid of all my Christmas icons, actually. Which makes me a little sad. But at least I have one piece of awesome to replace it with. I need like 49595040 more icon spaces, it's kind of pathetic. LJ WON'T LET ME BUY ANY MORE, IT IS ICON COCK BLOCKING ME.
The BBC is evil. And because they're British, they're even better and cooler at being evil. I'm pissed at this situation they've caused between DW and Merlin. ...I fail to understand why they couldn't just, oh, I don't know PUT MERLIN ON ANOTHER NIGHT? It's all reality talent show malarkey anyway, couldn't Merlin have fit into some other autumn timeslot? wtf, BBC, LOOK AT YOUR LIFE, LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES. (I use this catchphrase far too often. :c) SCREWING TWO FLAGSHIP SHOWS, NOT THE BEST PLAN. SHERLOCK WOULD HAVE SOME WITTY RETORT FOR YOUR LACK OF LOGIC AND INSIGHT RIGHT ABOUT NOW.
Ohhhhh. Oops. Then I totally put LOTR thoughts in your head for the episode, YOU'RE WELCOME. xDDD Seriously, you will be asking where Saruman is hiding.
I'm pretty sure he saw those ballers coming in from Camelot and was like, "FUFUFU" and hid in a cupboard for a while. Because everyone hides in cupboards when danger is afoot. The power of the Courage/Strength/Magic OT3 is too strong. And the Fisher King is just like, "LOL, Saruman, this tower ain't big enough for the two of us old sorcerer dudes to inhabit it, GTFO and let me do my job, I have a kingdom I have to help save." And Saruman's just like, "OH FINE. Be a bitch, horde the tower LIKE ALWAYS. I'LL BE OVER HERE HIDING IN THE CUPBOARD AND HOPING YOU GET EATEN BY THESE FELL BEASTS, YE NASTY." And the Fisher King's like, "LAWL wait 'til Wormtongue stabs you, YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING." And Saruman's like, "WHAT? WHAT'S THAT?" and the Fisher King is all, "Dude, don't even worry about it, just get out." And Saruman's like, "LOLK *not even bothered* *plans to destroy Middle Earth* *clearly is born a loser*" And the Fisher King is all, "I AM OLD AND DECREPIT BUT I HAVE EPIC SHIT TO DISCUSS WITH EMRYS. WE HAVE A LEGENDARY KINGDOM TO PROTECT, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG MY ASS HAS BEEN ROTTING HERE WAITING FOR THIS DAMN PUNK WIZARD KID TO SHOW UP? GOD. I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS, SOMEONE GET ME A NICE HOT CUP OF DEATH, PLEASE." And then Merlin comes in and he's all, "OH HERE, THIS WILL HELP U IN UR HOUR OF NEED, PEACE MY BROTHA, I'M OUT." And poor Merlin's just like, "the fuck is going on around here?" And Arthur's like, "I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THIS QUEST MYSELF, GRRR, ARGH, DON'T TELL MY DAAAD," and Gwaine's all, "I'm really just here to raise a little hell and find myself some quality mead, so if you can drop me at a tavern on the way back to Camelot, that'd be pretty fantastic. I enjoy ya'll's company, I expect I'll come back to save your asses at some point later." And Merlin's like, "THAT WAS SO COOL WITH THE TOWER AND THE BEASTS AND THE DWARF AT THE BRIDGE THING," and Arthur's like, "Please, for the love of God, stop talking, I was THERE ALONE. YOU WERE NOT THERE. GOT IT? CAN YOU KEEP A DAMN SECRET? KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, MERLIN." And Merlin's like, "YEAH YEAH, YOU DID IT ALL ALONE. PANSY. I SAVE YOUR ROYAL BUTT EVERY WEEK AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS THE THANKS I GET. IF YOU HAD ANY IDEA THE SECRETS I KEEP, JFC. FREAKING A, I NEED TO START DRINKING MORE. *FOREVER ALONE FACE*" And meanwhile, back at the castle, Smirkgana is like, "WHY DO MY FLAWLESS, NEVER EVER RIDICULOUS AND ABSURD, PLANS ALWAYS FAIL. WHYYYY. WHY IS MY LIFE SO HARD? IMMA WHIP MY LUSTROUS HAIR BACK AND FORTH AND THEN BRUSH IT WITH ONE OF THE FIFTY HAIRBRUSHES I GOT FOR MY BIRTHDAY BECAUSE I HAVE NO OTHER REDEEMABLE QUALITIES AT THIS JUNCTURE." And I'm pretty sure Uther and Gwen and Gauis probably played a role, too, but this isn't serious spoilers, this is your Merlin on crack.
...It was my favorite episode all season. xD As epic as the finale was. Maybe it's tied. IDK, I loved it.
Colin is so presh. I don't even know what to do with him, he makes me want to snuggle him to bits.

Date: 2010-12-31 02:26 am (UTC)WHY MUST LJ MAKE ICONS LIMITED? I MEAN IF YOU PAY FOR YOUR FRIGGIN' ACCOUNT AND GET 10 MILLION GIGS OF PHOTO ALBUM SPACE, WHY NOT JUST LET US USE THAT. WHY LJ, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????
oh, yeah, because they know that people will pay money for icon spaces so why should they offer it up for free?
The BBC is evil. And because they're British, they're even better and cooler at being evil.
Exactly. When God/the Gods created man they decreed that there should be a race/country of people that should be much cooler at things just because they have accents and make cool cars.
LOLOLOLOLOL OMG that is hilarious and I still haven't seen the episode. I am sure when I get to it this will all be 1,000,000 X more the LULZ!!!!!
NINJA WIZARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Date: 2010-12-29 08:01 am (UTC)I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE BOYS. JUST. SFM.
And for good measure.
WHY IS HE NOT IN MY BED, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.I mean, um...hi, David. ♥____♥Re: at this point, I'm just spamming you

We need more Benny Cumbermuffin and Teninch together in our lives.
Re: at this point, I'm just spamming you
Date: 2010-12-29 08:26 am (UTC)I kind of want to grab his hair, it's a little disturbing. And with Colin, it's a neck thing. I HAVE PROBLEMS.GET IN OUR BEDS, WHY ARE YOU BOYS SO BAD AT FOLLOWING SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS? THAT PICTURE OF DAVID, I'M PRETTY SURE I'M DEAD. I AM DEAD RIGHT NOW. I AM A TYPING CORPSE OF DEADNESS. *___*
They should do a project together (they haven't, have they?), although I'm not sure the world could handle that much awesome in one piece. But seriously, it would be amazing sauce. They're both such good actors
and epic amounts of smexy. *shifty eyes* Benny Cumbermuffin and Teninch .......I have never heard these nicknames before. *dumps ice water over her head*Re: at this point, I'm just spamming you
Date: 2010-12-31 02:30 am (UTC)LOL!!!! Have you really never heard David being reffered as 'Teninch'? Because John Barrowman totally started that whole nickname in an interview he did about who he would shag, marry, throw off a cliff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fVwJVy-rgM
ALSO
Date: 2010-12-29 08:54 am (UTC)Gwaine comes in in S3 and I'm immediately, "GWEN, HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU RESISTING HIS ADVANCES IN THE MARKETPLACE, FORGET ARTHUR, FORGET YOUR DESTINY, GO TAP THAT." xDDD And every time he shows up, I basically squee and get hearts in my eyes, I LOVE HIM, I CAN'T HANDLE IT.
If it wasn't for him:
Stealing my heart:
And being totally pleased with it:
Then he:
Would have been:
My fictional husband of the year.
I have a feeling Dean is angry at me for cheating on him.
And all Sam can do is be confused while Dean fumes over it.
But, Dean, bb, I'm sorry, given what S6 has been so far, I just can't be completely true to you. Not when I'm given these amazing sexy UK men.
OMG NO. DON'T DO THE CRYING THING. I CAN'T RESIST THAT, IT WILL DRAW ME BACK.
Damn it.
I can't quit you.WHY YOU ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART WHEN THE SHOW MAKES ME SO ANGRY? FFS. ILY, THO.So, we just have to make an arrangement where I rotate between you and my gorgeous Scottish/Irish/British husbands, okay bb?
...Yeah, I'm definitely on crack right now.
