Turns me to gold in the sunlight

HIIIIIIIIIII :)

This entry is made with merry thoughts, for that is the current season! Christmas tiiiiiiiime :D I'm in such the giving mood, all I've been doing is shopping for presents and then wrapping them up :D I think I've done good in the "giving" aspect of Christmas so far, my friends, siblings and teachers should all be quite happy with me. I enjoy shopping for others, sadly 8)

School being over is as good as a present however. I have been beyond sleepy for the last two weeks of school, and I know I know, all my fault. I spend too much time on my homework, sleep hella late and wake up uber early. And then I sleep during class and blah blah :( Or at least when I can get away with it. Can't really afford to sleep during English Honours, agh. And it figures I've got homework in that class, the only class in which I've got any homework. But it's pretty simple, it's great actually. I have to read The Book of Negroes in the two weeks of break, finish it before I get back to school. We were allowed to choose the book we wanted to read for the independent novel study, and I was very very torn between that and Snow Falling on Cedars. But I read the first bit of The Book of Negroes and I didn't think I'd enjoy the mystery/romance aspect of Snow Falling on Cedars, plus Genina picked that book so I could always get a second opinion from her and read it later. I was also torn with Wuthering Heights, but I remembered that I own Wuthering Heights and can read it whenever the heck I want. So Book of Negroes it was!

My Mom bought the family a Wii, FINALLY. And already I'm pretty obsessed with it. I messed up my arm though, it hasn't stopped being sore for a few days now, 'cause I keep on waving my arm like a maniac when I play the games :( My arm seriously kills sometimes. Simple movements or lifting of moderately weighted things is pretty killer, but I gotta suck it up and learn how to not over-exert my dang arm when I'm playing those darn obsessive games!

That has reminded me of my Christmas list for some reason. I REALLY DON'T WANT THESE THINGS TOO BADLY, and if you're smart you don't give me anything 'cause I don't deserve anything. Save your money! But, besides books (that is pretty much a given any year, I'll read ANYTHING as long as it's not something written by some celebrity wanna-be author like Miley Cyrus or a how-to book) this is what you COULD get me (be warned, this list is uber short and uber dorky):

Christmas List 2009

• Board games (mind stimulating ones, like Cranium! Or the fun ones like The Game of Life and Monopoly! OR GUESS WHO! OR CLUE! Omg I love board games)
• Yu-Gi-Oh cards (or Digimon, Pokemon or Magic the Gathering Cards or Star Wars cards) I would like to expand my huge collections, BWAHA!
• A lot of post-its (I think my English teacher was right about using post its when reading novels... you need to remember your place in a book, memorable quotes or particular parts using particular literary devices... post its are cheap and useful!!)
• SHARPIES! The thick kinds. Some packs are small with like 5 basic colours and some are huge with like 12 different colours but the five pack would do just fine.

Aaaaaaaaaand that's it. Yeah, pretty short. And yes, I know, very dorky. But shutup. I'm trying not to indulge too much this year, I'm still trying to do a penance for losing my wallet. Augh. I really don't deserve any presents this year, do I :(

OMG I DO WANT WII GAMES TOO BTW. Bu those are expensive, so nevermind.

Oh and I do want a charm my phone :( Gotsa personalize it a little bit.

And the movie version of To Kill a Mockingbird :DDDDDDD I seriously would like to own the film versions of my favourite books.

OH AND WINTER CLOTHING TOO. Or even just nice regular clothes :)

AUGH I HAVE TO STOP INDULGING SO MUCH. Ignore all of those. Those are not part of the main list. IGNORE THEM, IGNORE THEM, IGNORE THEM.

I'm gonna go now before my fingers go beyond my control and start typing everything I want. I HOPE EVERYONE'S HAVING A GOOD HOLIDAY SO FAR AND MERRY CHRISTMAS :D Be safe and happy with the ones you love!

Yours truly and wishing I was with you ('cause if you're reading this you probs know me and your probs a friend of mine :D),
