...then, I know there's nothing to fear. However, like that stray strand of hair that refuses to remain in place, it's bothering me, even if it's only in the back of my mind. It's only a tiny strand, a mere inkling of doubt, a small black drop of insecurity. But that tiny dark droplet is surely enough to stain a pure white piece of paper.

Anyway, so last night we went out to eat with Shaun's father, brother, brother's fianceé and fianceé's child (who is a brat, imo). Knowing full well that I would be heading into a two to three hour meal, I brought my iPod... But I didn't use it... Yeah, dinner was okay, Chinese food, which was okay by me. :D

So, when we returned home, a little while after 10PM or 11PM, Shaun came into my room and told me that me and the little one had one big present to share and this would probably be the last year he believed in Santa Claus. Afterwards I thought what this thing would be and came down to the conclusion that it was a game system, meaning it was either a 360 or a Wii. Personally, I wanted a 360, but I figured, with my luck, we were getting a Wii. I did have the chance to look down and see what it was, since it was downstairs unwrapped, but I decided against looking.

I went to bed late as well, trying to crochet a scarf (didn't finish either). But I didn't fall asleep until around 4AM, cuz I was playing The World Ends With You.

So, when I woke up a few hours later, I finally looked downstairs and lo and behold, there was a Wii down in the fireplace, surrounded by the small one's other gifties. Satisfied with what I found, I retreated back upstairs for a bit til I heard Shaun go downstairs. Since the little one was not among us yet I had to hold off on opening presents.

When he finally did arrive, we went through the presents and I turned out to be 66% correct on my current presents under the tree. I did not get a necklace but a... coin purse? o_O; From Lynz and Jack, twas pink and had a letter N on it... weird. But it's the thought that counts. And I actually liked the purse I got, twas red. I like red. :D

Other than that, I got two boxes holding two gift cards each. One had a Target gift card with an undisclosed amount (I know Shaun gets these at work or somethingso I figured that there was $25 like there usually is) and a Starbucks giftcard with $20. Yay coffee. lol, I should contact Micki...

The other two gift cards were both $50 for Circuit City and Barnes & Noble. It goes without saying I won't need to pay for books out of my own pocket for a while. Plus I got $50 from Shaun's father, so... Um. Shopping tomorrow? lol.

Also got a tablet, which was nice. :D Though I suck at usint it, lol. Need practice... And... yeah... The rest of the day seemed to last forever... I didn't have much to do... Didn't get any games for me this year (I'm buying some tomorrow, dammit), so I was kinda bored... Lynz sent the little one two Wii games; Hulk and Call of Duty 3 (lol, not your beloved COD4, Tyler)... But we didn't set up the Wii til later so... Yeah.

I helped out with dinner then after we ate we played WiiSports... Then... the longest two hours of my life began. I was so bored, I didn't know what to do... But yeah. Twas a good Christmas. Mebbe next year is 360 year, lol.

I miss Tyler, dammit. Tucker and I had a txt conversation and he asked if I had wished my boyfriend a merry Christmas, I hadn't, so I called him after telling Tucker I didn't. Obviously, Tyler didn't answer, so I left a message since I had something to say for once. ;; I miss him, dammit... ;; I don't want no fucking physical present, a call is good enough for me. ;;

Woke up early, as usual. I didn't get out of bed til around 8.30 though.... And when I did, I went downstairs and played me some moar Final Fantasy XII. Mmm... Balthier.... Sorry, gotta do that with every Final Fantasy XII mention.

At around 10 we left to pick up the small one. I was told to go into the car early because they had bought some presents that they didn't wrap. I figured that this meant that we got Rock Band. Mmm... Rock Band.

Shaunie got his Godzilla game, which meant I was going to have to go though him playing it.... Ugh. Anyway, when we got home I found that I was right, Rock Band was sitting by the fireplace.... But what I didn't see coming was the PS3 that was sitting on top of it. Twas the 80GB too, that's the big one, isn't it? Nah well, I dunno. That aside, I did get that Yellowcard CD that I've been lusting for since July...and Brain Age... And a Mario game... not sure which one it is, though. :/ Um.... clothes an' ....a giftcard to The District.... But... um.... yeah. ^^;

Oh! Guitar Hero 3... I wanna play that one.... x3
