changelingWore BadPlace!Harry and purple knee-high socks today. Got cool shoulder bag from Overells, with whom we spent the day in the park, carefully shattering our syntax and reglueing it in more interesting designs.
Also got first Lucifer book from sisters (much!love) and Alan Moore's Watchmen from parents. Christmas list some good after all. Also got glass chess set for no easily discernible reason. Do not play chess, and am lousy when I try. Also got more hideous clothing from relatives which won't fit anyway: red one-shoulder shirt with 80s style gathering down side seams and blue singlet top with frills down the front. These people do not know me. Money would be better spent giving me stamps to send letters overseas, or even licorice. I like licorice.
Have now read entirety of Lucifer and half of Watchmen. Got lecture from mother for about 1/2-1 hour about failing uni again. Matched lecture by father yesterday. Lecture by father more succinct. 10 points for content - less repetition.
Found I had a lot in common with Charlotte's younger brother; we spent the day discussing Xbox, webcomics and other fun and geeky topics. Disturbing fact: he's only 14. Couldn't do anything interesting like climb tree or weave bamboo stalks into useful tatami mat due to stupid ankle. On the plus side, ankle now sporting interesting-looking bruises. Good shade of purple.
Went to install Monkey Island tonight (on loan from Chris) and discovered that I only have episodes 3 and 4. Still, once I started up the game, watched the opening sequence and then exited again because I couldn't get the character to interact with his environment, read the FAQ, and started playing again, started to have fun.
Am exceptionally tired and mother will get me up tomorrow at 8am because she is bitch troll from hell.
[Edit: I got the One Ring for Christmas! Refuse to take it off, whatever Frodo says. Not evil. It's high-class jewellery. He's just jealous because he thinks Sam is after Pippin.]
