So I'm back in Wolverhampton again (I betchya didn't even notice I was gone, right? Haha). I spent the holidays and more with my family. Christmas was alright, the novelty has kinda worn off and I don't feel like talking about it - I have other obsessions I need to babble about first X3 ...

...Like Gazette. Yes, I know I've been following them with a passing interest for a couple of years now, but something seems to finally have snapped inside me. Perhaps it was seeing how hot Aoi looked in the Cassis PV [link] or maybe it was listening to Ruder [link] again for the first time in ages. Damn that song kicks !! Aoi's birthday's on the 20th, must draw fanart!! I think I'm going to have to empty my pockets again to buy me the Nil CD - Ruki looks so tasty in a cowboy hat XD! Damn, it's his birthday on Feb 1st as well, I hope I can make enough time!

And then there's the fantastic fanfiction I just finished reading [link] , "The Vicious Pet" by Imre_Nico(featuring the Raikov/Ocelot pairing mostly, from Metal Gear Solid).
Twenty-three Chapters of beautifully written goodness that will send you reaching for your dictionary...and your sketch pad if you're anything like me. Expect some fanart soon! I've also been given permission to doujinshify one of the chapters X3 Oh yes !! But first I have many other backlogged projects and commissions to get through T_T

Florayne drew me some more fanart for Christmas! And I'm absolutely thrilled with it ! ! Check it out, it's my Ako and Vaucia, don't they look sweet! [link] X3

One Piece ZxS Doujinshi Update! Page 5 is mostly inked, should be done today^^ I haven't been able to watch or read OP while I've been away all this time, so my OP obsession is waning X_X I must make myself pick up reading/watching where I left off or I may loose interest forever...Nooooo! Fortunately, looking at some fanart by *ZoroSan has begun to rekindle that interest.

Random Blah Fiiinnnally went to see Narnia. Now, as a kid, I loved the books, loved the TV series, I went to see the real stage production, and I performed as Lucy in a local town production myself. so yeah, big, big fan as a kid. But I'm afraid I don't remember the originals well enough to compare the movie with them, however I loved the movie! Every few minutes something would happen and I would remember and...well let's just say it was one big nostalgia fest for me X3 Loved it!

I finally beat my boyfriend's high score on MGS2 substance VR missions. It's amazing what you can do when you're stuck at your Grans for ages in the middle of the countryside with no computer, no anything, except a PS2 to keep you company. But I bet after a few days of not playing, I can't even remember the basic controls. Hahaha, I have such a short term memory!

Speaking of Christmas at my Grans in the countryside, the scenery was perfect; Blankets of snow over beautiful English countryside. It was picture postcard perfect! I wish I had brought a camera *sighs*
Worst memories of Christmas: My uncle getting in three or four jokes about me looking fat without a single member of my family saying a word, while I tried to remain diplomatic (Me and my uncle used to argue at Christmas...and all the time really. I figure it's about time we stopped but it's seems he doesn't want to ); And my lived-with-me-for-three-years boyfriend not being invited to the Christmas dinner because he's Chinese-Vietnamese >: P But actually, this year was surprisingly mild, which is a relief. Christmas is usually something worthy of the most heartfelt dread.

Reminder to self: get in contact with Sherman and Lisa and...well everyone you lazy git! I'm such a crap friend T_T
