Title: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on November 28, 2007, 08:26:00 AM
Geez..doesn't seem like the year 2007 is almost over. *sigh* It wasn't so long ago that we had our family Christmas party (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT8p94Zl7yk) and my dad was running around with fireworks. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsnB1PV9xbs)

......

As you can see..I have a really weird family..espescially around the holidays. XD

Anywho. Doing anything special for Christmas? What's on your wishlist? WHAT IS WITH GINGERBREAD MEN?? D=

*cough* We'll most likely be going to see the Nutcracker in Houston sometime next month. As for my wishlist..it's rather long. As long as I get those fox pajamas and a Wacom/some sort of tablet I'll be happy. =3 Oo....I gotta get a picture of my purpley blue tree and pirate Santa sometime....

I plan on sleeping in as much as possible.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on November 28, 2007, 11:08:00 AM
Hah..that's a good way to spend the holidays. XD I've been sleeping 14+ hours a night..I don't think I'll be sleeping in this time. @.@
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on November 28, 2007, 03:47:00 PM
I tend to get about six hours or less of sleep... and I wonder what it must be like to sleep that long. (I don't recall having ever done so.)
Unless it's weekends. I get about eight to nine, then... but, once in a while, I'll get ten if I didn't get enough sleep during the week. But that usually doesn't happen unless I get between four and no hours of sleep on those late school nights...   :P
Um, anyway...

I'll tell ya' what I think about those, when I see 'em.

Hm... for Christmas, my intentions/hopes are to have my family be happy, together, and to be happy with them.

Heh... I need to get-to on my Christmas shopping...   ;D

A wish list?
A few things, on that, too...
I want to spend a lot of time with someone... and for God to answer my prayers about it. But that's kinda before and after, I think.   :)
Also, I want, as I said, earlier, my family to be happy together.
I want to help people, and make it possible for someone who would have struggled to have a pleasant Christmas celebrate with ease...
And... I want my friends get along with each other, and me.
I want to give back at least a little of what I've been given...
If my family could get through some rough spots, it'd be great.
Well... it goes on, but, really, I don't need to keep talking. I already do too much of that.   ;D

Later (after watching the videos):

Ha!
Well, your family doesn't seem too strange...
(You don't know mine...   ;D )
You should have seen us a Fourth of July or so ago...
They were jumping , and convinced me to jump, through the fountain fireworks on a street in town...
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on November 28, 2007, 04:21:00 PM
XD Wow..my list sounds so shallow compared to yours. o.O

~The only reason I've been sleeping so much is due to my unfortunate demise. T.T I usually sleep about 4-5 hours.

Jumping through fireworks? Huh...hope my dad doesn't see that. He'll get ideas. XD
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on November 28, 2007, 10:30:00 PM
Heh... I'm sure it isn't, really.
These are just the things I want, as the things on your list are the things you want. And, at any rate, I'm sure you want these things, for you and yours, as well. These lists are simply of different varieties.
My only thought on the matter was that, well... what would I care if I had any material possession that I wanted, if I didn't have what I mentioned in my list? I would trade any of my things to make that a reality, this Christmas...
I'm sure you just figured that went without saying, so you just listed other types of things. But I, to be quite honest, wouldn't care if I didn't get gifts this year. What do I need in the form of material things? I've actually kinda wished, at times, that my family wouldn't get me gifts... what a waste of money. But, I figure that if they're anything like me, then giving gifts makes them happy... and I want them to be happy. So I just said what I want... and that is what I want.

Yeah... and that's not the worst done.
(I won't tell him if you won't.)

Christmas is my favorite holiday...though I don't think I'll be getting anyone a gift.  I might manage to make some, though.

As for the comics, I should be able to get some imagery done, since this semester ends the 16th.  That'll leave me 9 days...'course, I'll probably have other stuff to get done, too.

I avoid writing wish lists, unless I'm asked.  I prefer to see if anybody knows what I'd like--which is probably why I usually end up getting art supplies.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on November 29, 2007, 09:41:00 AM
Heh..me, too. XD Eh, get art supplies, I mean. A majority of the gifts I get on any occasion usually consists of art supplies and electronic stuff. Every now and then I'll get giant packages of beef jerky and Dr Pepper jelly beans.

I need to get started on a Christmas picture....hm..*skutters off to sketch*
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on November 29, 2007, 04:15:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

Yeah, Christmas is my favorite  holiday, too.   :)
I didn't say so, earlier, though... oh wait... actually, I did. A while back... and someone else's response to that, for it was a question, was, "My Birthday."
I don't know why I remember that... I'm not even sure who said that.   :P

I don't tend to make them, either. But this is the first time somebody asked me about my list, in... a really long time.... so I had to think about it.   :)
Hm... one of my latter sentences sounded somewhat confusing...   ;D

I think I have an idea, for something, now... *Tehehehe...*

Perhaps I should make something for Christmas, too.   :)

I tend to get art supplies, as well.
It's great, 'cuz a year's about the time it takes until I start wanting new ones.    ;D

Hm. I finally know what the book It's hard to look Cool when Your Car's full of Sheep is about.
Has anyone heard about that book?

What are you guys's favorite things about Christmas?

I wondered if it was you, but I wasn't completely sure...   ;D

Somewhat random question:
If it were a holiday, what would you call it, and what would happen on it?
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on November 30, 2007, 10:24:00 AM
.....

Starting today, June 20th will forever be known as the National Day of Getting Sugar High.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on November 30, 2007, 01:59:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

All right... my only opposition with that going national would be the destruction caused by the millions of sugar-crazed ninnies.
A day to hide...

What would you all do if you could make your Birthdays into holidays?
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Dragyn on December 01, 2007, 09:50:00 AM
I'd have the International Day of Sleeping Through...in which everyone would sleep through it.

I'd get my presents the day after...or several months after, as seems to usually be the case around here, anyway.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 01, 2007, 11:07:00 PM
That sounds like a good one... I'd like that... just one day out of the entire year I could just sleep through...   ;D

Hehehe... yeah... six months...
I'll try not to do it again, honest!

Yet another reason to want a driver's license, while simultaneously not wanting one at all...   :P
I haven't even gotten the chance to go to a decent store for Christmas shopping long enough to get much in the past two months, 'cuz my parents always go when I'm gone.
I hope they'll take me with them, here soon...   :-/
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Dragyn on December 04, 2007, 10:33:00 AM
I've no money...no shopping for me.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 04, 2007, 11:23:00 AM
Heh... I've been going through my things, a lot, for suitable gifts...   ;D
I'm just gonna' nab some out of my savings, for the rest...

That's fine with everyone, I'm sure.   ;)
Most people like it when they get gifts that others made... I know I do.   :)

Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on December 04, 2007, 11:33:00 AM
I've done very little shopping. I tend to usually get one or two gifts per person. Most of the time somebody will order something for me since I can't(*coughdon'twanttocough*) order from catalogs. I get the most presents for my cats because they're the cheapest and don't care as long as it's catnip. XD

Though the game I got for my dad turned out to be the wrong one. I guess Amazon put the wrong discription on it..oh well. It's still the same basic thing..we just can't play it on the network..I think.

If I don't get that tablet(and I'd better), then Breanna's definately getting the best gift. We've got her a Dell notebook with all the fixings, plus a desk/printer/bag, etc. =3 Of course.....graphic tablets are better. (if I don't get it, I'll be spending all my Christmas money on it, for sure. XP)
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: bloodreaper on December 04, 2007, 11:45:00 AM
I want a copy of Castlevania: The Dracula X Cronicles, but I don't see it happening.

Everyone who has money needs it for important things this year, and it's a pricey title.

Besides, I already have SotN, so it's hard to justify buying what is essentially a re-release with Rondo of Blood thrown in. However, as a non-japaneese-speaking person, it's likely that this will be my only chance to play Rondo of Blood or the extended version of SotN.

I'm more concerned with how to make my limited budget buy gifts for everyone on my list. Perhaps if I live in a packing crate this winter I can save money on rent, to buy things for my family, but I've spent the summer in a desert and am no longer acclimated to the bitter winters we get up here.

Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 04, 2007, 12:45:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

Well, I don't have to pay rent, or anytihng... but I've a limited budget, as well.
Unless I just don't buy a steer to get the money necessary to buy the horse that a nice guy's been saving practically all Summer for me... I'm kinda behind on spending money...
I've been saving for months, but I seem to not be getting very far... well, when considering how much money I should have earned, and the like.   :P

I must admit... I over-do the whole "getting people presents" thing, just a little too much...
It's a good thing that there aren't any more holidays in the year than there already are, otherwise I'd always be broke!

What were ya' doing in the desert?
Jus' vacating?
Which desert?
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on December 04, 2007, 01:23:00 PM
Heh. I save money all year, too. Though, the way I fangirl (and spend way too much money on Zim, Oogie Boogie, and dragons), I'm surprised I was able to save as much as I did. XD

Hm..I love deserts. No humidity. ^.^
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 04, 2007, 03:44:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

I buy presents, and, a little while ago, I got myself a saddle... and, from time to time, I give some people a bit of money... and, somehow, that takes far more money than I thought it did.   :P

I've never actually seen a desert, outside of a picture.   :)
I wouldn't know if I liked 'em... except for my assumptions. And that is, that I would yearn for the woods... I like the woods, plants and how green everything gets.   ;D

"Anytihng..." huh.   :P
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Dragyn on December 04, 2007, 08:04:00 PM
I doubt I'd like/dislike deserts more than I do here.  I love it here, I just hate the snow.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 05, 2007, 05:46:00 AM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

I like the northwest.   :)
The snow is a irritant... but I like it here, too.
The terrain is awesome.   ;D
I've don't really know what anything else is like, out there...

What places have ya'll been to?
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on December 05, 2007, 09:27:00 AM
70% of the U.S. has been graced with my presence.

I HATE Texas to no end. It's always hot, humid, and just downright unpleasent. It never snows, just rains. For months on end. There's aboslutely NOTHING for miles, and the allergens are very abundant. Did I mention how hot/humid it is year-round? The humidity usually stays around 50-100% all year in our area. I just...HATE IT. I'd pick your area, Dragyn, any day.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Dragyn on December 05, 2007, 09:48:00 AM
Oh, so would I.  I love the place, with all the trees, great summers, and the incredible amounts of wilderness to spend time in.

I've never been further south than Oregon, or more than a couple hours north into Canada.  

I'm not much for travelling...
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 06, 2007, 06:58:00 PM
Never been in Canada, and, if I was in Oregon, nobody ever told me... that should be changing, here soon, though.
And...
For the rest of all that...
I was in Los Angeles, for a while, while my parents were selling Christmas trees in a parking lot when I was ages 2 and 3...
The thing I remember most about that, was the car trip... actually... never mind, too much to list.   ;D
It was strange, riding around in a bus full of pine trees, though... the trees made for an interesting bed.    :)
That city was not really likable, in my opinion... it was so noisy, it stank, there were rude people, everywhere, and it was really hard to go to sleep.
Then I go to Montana and Washington to visit grandparents from time to time... that's generally fun.
Once, I went someplace with Cascade... my parents had a job, by a river, there.
And... well, that is the extent of my travels.

I used to really want to travel... but now I feel more content with sticking around here.
When I was wanting to travel, it was when I wanted to just leave home... not so much of a issue, anymore.

The wildlife, forests, mountains, streams/rivers, lakes, rather small town... it's an neat place, here.   :)
Well, the town covers a lot of ground, but the majority of it isn't very compact...

Out of all the places that you've been, Dragyn, would you say were you live is the best?

Where would you want to be, then Fox?

Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on December 06, 2007, 07:52:00 PM
Preferably Estes Park, Colorado or Sedona, Arizona. There's no allergens(well, for me.), and it snows for Christmas. T.T
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 06, 2007, 08:24:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

Estes Park?
What's that like?
And the rest of them...
I'm not aware of most of those further out there surroundings.   ;D
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: bloodreaper on December 06, 2007, 11:21:00 PM
If you don't like hot and humid, spend a summer or two fighting wildfire in the desert. Nevada and Utah are good choices.    ;)

Whenever the cold makes my joints ache or I'm uncomfortably sweaty, I just think about how much worse off I've been, and it's not so bad.   8)

That being said, I'm not planning to go back for a third season. I'm not getting any younger, and I really belong in a library or a computer room more than on a rugged, flaming mountain, breathing ash and smoke in the merciless sun. --Nice quiet air conditioned computer rooms.... ah!   ;D
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on December 07, 2007, 07:33:00 AM
XD Yeah. Utah and Nevada were both great. Loved Zion National Park. <3

~Estes Park (http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs17/f/2007/206/0/9/Vacation___04_19_by_SuperScoobyGirl.jpg) is the most beautiful (http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs18/f/2007/206/d/a/Vacation___04_20_by_SuperScoobyGirl.jpg) place (http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs17/f/2007/206/0/0/Vacation___04_26_by_SuperScoobyGirl.jpg) I've ever been. (http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs17/f/2007/206/0/e/Vacation___04_28_by_SuperScoobyGirl.jpg)
Not all of the pictures are of Estes, but Estes is right next to Rocky Mountian National Park and Pike's Peak.

Yosemite. Some people my parents know went there...
I really like the veiw... the mountains and the huge Sequoia trees are awesome. Also, everything's just so green...

Hm.. I've never traveled anywhere, but I've always wanted to go on a plane >_>

Yesterday I got a package in the mail that I'm not supposed to open, and I could barely resist opening it.  Heh.  I'd get presents for people, but I usually  end up spending all of my money on school lunches.  And I'm really bad at saving money anyways.

I have barely gotten to go Christmas shopping... and then my money disappeared!   :P
Apparently there's been very little Christmas shopping, and people've gone all economic over it. O.o
Ya' heard of that?
It's very weird...

The snow has been really irritating, lately...   :P
It snows slush, and it does it while I'm at school. If it happened in morning, there might even be a school day... but instead we have to just drive/ride home in bad weather. >.<

I know the bus system where you live and you're not likely to have a snow day yet.  your best bet is end of January early February when it snaps cold and hits -30F. and they won't run busses because the students get frostbite at the bustop.

I'm not big on pets, so I'll leave you to it.  Somebody has to spoil pets, after all.

Meh. I was just trying to find ANYTHING that did not include dingle balls, otherwise I would've gone cheap and just got a stocking. >.<

I. Hate. Dingle balls.

*Laugh!!!*   :D

My family and I don't buy stuff like that, for our pets...

Pet treats: scraps, and fish heads and entrails (from when we go fishing) bones... that sort of thing.

Pet toys, for dogs; we take socks without mates, or with too many holes, and tie a knot in them. When it's available, we put stuff in the end, like food.   :)  Otherwise... old shoes, old clothes, old stuffed animals/toys, bones (they're toys, too!) stuff we can tie to ropes, sticks (fetch!) and... whatever we don't care about getting chewed up, really.

Cats: a paper toy, that we roll up a piece of paper and cut the ends into strips before tying to a string, to make. We have mint/catnip in our garden... we can do what we do with socks for dogs, with that; string, rope, feathers on strings (from the chickens/ducks) once again, about anything that we don't mind the destruction of...   ;D

Once, my pig played fetch!
And then, sometimes he played cat-and-mouse, and chase.   :)
I miss my pig...

We don't generally buy the stuff for 'em. They don't really care if it's new, or not... they just like playing with stuff, no matter what it is.
I figure.... why get pets presents like that when they may just end out playing with paper, or the plants in the garden, anyway?   :)

I spoil people, instead... >.<
I'm not really spoiling them, but I'm sure broke, afterward, ya' know?   :P

Oh, but catnip is so much fun. =3 Heh....I got a laser..when I was bringing the bag in tonight, I pointed it on the shed to see if Schmendrick would chase it. The dumb cat went all the way into the backwoods, nearly, chasing the stupid thing. XD
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 21, 2007, 10:21:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

Mint works just as well, on account of the fact that catnip is just mint.   ;D
And, actually, I have catnip, as a specific mint plant... (there's more than one type of mint here...   :)  )

But, I don't have any lasers.... what a pity.   :P

Lasers...also effective as a distraction.

Strange, considering the fact that most teachers are known for being irritated by such things...   ;D

Aha! Here is that Christmas topic!
Any how...

I'm hoping my family gets a tree!   ;D
I had to convince my dad that it should be considered.   :P
Do ya'll have your trees?
Any Charlie-Browns?
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on December 24, 2007, 08:20:00 AM
I have a purple tree. =3 It's got lots of shiny blue ornaments on it....and Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero is on my tree.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D

I've got a tree.  As long as I've a free moment...

Merry Christmas, y'all.

Merry Christmas, arcblade!! *Christmas hug* =3

NOW WHARZ EVERYBODEH WHEN AHM GIVIN' OUT HUGGLES?? Oh well..you're missing out. =3
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on December 26, 2007, 12:10:00 PM
Hehehe.... yeah... ':D

"Sub-zero" is on your tree?
May I ask what that is?
(All I'm getting from it, as far as ideas, are cold temperatures and that Weird Al song... which has almost no relation, I'm sure... and is now stuck in my head.)
"It's Christmas at ground zero.... you can feel it in the air..."
Hm... I should have sung that when my sister wanted to drag me out caroling for our next door neighbor.

Well, merry late Christmas.   :)

I got my family to get a tree, really early on Christmas morning, before my parents went to sleep.   ;D
We went out into the back yard, and I chose a Douglas fir that was way too big for our living room. (I'm behind it, right now, to be on the computer.)
I think it was like, 2:00 a.m. O.o Better late than never, right?
Then we stayed up until four... and I stayed up until five...
And we all woke up before noon!

How were all of your Christmases?
What happened during them?
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on December 26, 2007, 12:34:00 PM
I had a good Christmas. =3 Even though I didn't feel like eating all the cheese I got. >.< It was good, anyway. *has been fiddling with her tablet since* XD

For a while there,  I got oranges... my Mom did that since she used to get those, as a kid.   :)
Hm... I didn't make a Christmas picture. >.<
*Will make a late one!*
S'that okay?

*twirls imaginary mustache evily* Mmmmyes.   If I can make it horrifying enough.  For some reason Ramjik doesn't seem like he'd be in the Christmas spirit very much XD

*Still has to get around to making a picture...* >.<

Well, I have accomplished some things!
The other day I organized my art...   ;D

That's right...
I got new gifts!

One person gave me a necklace, which I really like.   ;D
Then, I recieved a new art folder/thing, from another... I needed a new one. After a while, I kinda stopped putting duct tape on the old one.   :P
And then there was also a little glass figurine/thing, which doubles as a container, of sorts. (There's a little dog on top of it.)
Also, there is a fuzzy poster, which I share with another.   :)  (We have to get around to that, eventually... perhaps I shall request that he bring it to church!)   ;D

Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on January 02, 2008, 11:25:00 AM
Oo..fuzzy poster! I love those! =D I never once used the markers it came with..I usually just used Crayola or something..'cause I had to detail it. XD
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on January 02, 2008, 06:38:00 PM
Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.   :)

I used to get a lot of fuzzy posters... not so much, anymore. (Or at all, until I received this particular one.)   ;D

So, I take it you get them often?
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on January 02, 2008, 07:33:00 PM
Not any more. I used to, but then I got them all.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D

You got them, all!?!
Gee, how many are there?!...
Title: Re: Christmas! =D

I dunno. I'm pretty sure I've done 'em all, though.

Huh... I suppose that's some sort of accomplishment.   ;D
(Congrats.)
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on January 02, 2008, 08:01:00 PM
Heh....my greatest achievment in life so far: getting all the fuzzy posters that ever existed. XD

At least I won't be known for having the largest collection of beach towels....
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on January 02, 2008, 08:06:00 PM

There's somebody that did that!?!
People are strange...   ;D

What's the weirdest World-record/s that you've ever heard?
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on January 02, 2008, 08:14:00 PM
*cough* Ehh..*raises hand* ^^;

I collect weird things. Clocks/watches, swords/sharp things, beach towels/washclothes, t-shirts, CAT WHISKERS....it's best not to ask. XD
Title: Re: Christmas! =D

Oh...
Hehehe...
Oops... >.<
Sorry...

Huh...
Well, my mom kept hair, from my sister and I, but I suspect that's different.   ;D

Hm... the only thing that is particularly weird about that is the whiskers.   :)

I have a different variety of things I enjoy collecting...
I guess some people might find some odd... but whatever.   ;D

Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on January 02, 2008, 08:26:00 PM
Yeah. I love collecting things, no matter how strange. Once I get going, it's hard to stop! =3
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on January 02, 2008, 08:44:00 PM

So what else do you collect?   ;D
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Fox on January 02, 2008, 08:51:00 PM
Lamps, dragons, calendars, stickers, plushies/beanies, Scooby, Zim, Ripley's books, National Geographic stuff, pins, pajamas, socks, M&M stuff....untill I think of more. XD
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on January 02, 2008, 09:05:00 PM
M&M?

Heh...   ;D

Your posts went from a number of 400-some, to 504.   :D

Well, some of those things were similar, with what things I enjoy having a variety of.   ;D
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Dragyn on January 08, 2008, 04:20:00 PM
Hmm...my aunt collects M&M stuff...

Lotsa' people (including m'self) collect dragons...

Nah, you're not that weird.
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
Post by: Faith on January 08, 2008, 05:14:00 PM
If it sounded like I was saying you were weird, I didn't mean it...
(Sorry if it did...)

I don't remember you saying you were weird...   :-/

Well, lemme' see... what strange things do I collect?

Some are: wood, rocks, plants, dragons (& many other fantasy things... many, many, many...) wolves... and the list is getting longer. (Stopping, now.)

Which M&M stuff?
I've heard of quite a few things named M&M... >.<
Title: Re: Christmas! =D
