The message FINALLY got through about only one gift.
I got the Bambi special edition DVD I asked for back in March or so.
rat got a new pair of jeans and two rolls of double-stick tape. The tape is a tradition for some reason.
Mother gave us a tin of "Nana's Icebox Cookies", which are these not-too-sweet rectangular homemade cookies with walnuts.
Mother got a pink Richland mug and a teeshirt that has a picture of a vacuum cleaner in space. G got a green Richland mug and a teeshirt that says "Please Wait While Picture Loads" printed across the front.
We watched "Shall We Dance?" in Japanese with English subtitles, then switched over to the recent "Phantom of the Opera" musical movie while eating icebox cookies and drinking IBC rootbeer.
Good Xmas eve.
And for Xmas day, we will sleep and sleep, then eat BBQ and play more FF5. And, naturally, be two hentai...
rat will get some stuff from me, along with the traditional guilt trip he gets when he does not get anything for me, however, this year I know why we are not officially exchanging gifts.
Because...
We plan on going to Yaoicon next October and all our gift money will go toward that.
Yes, we are FINALLY getting to Yaoicon, at least that's the current plan. Things might change, given health, job or other situations, but for now, it is a go.
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
--> to Talon, for sending me her fabulous fics, inspiring me with her writing to draw my first
illustration for a story and actually liking what I drew.
--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.
--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's
and her own stories.
--> to Lutra, the other half of the epic team, for being so supportive.
--> to Jacque' & Becca Raddittzu, we met on eBay as bidder and sellers and now we are face-to-face
friends. You showed us the real DBZ with your fansubs. It's all your fault the house is full of
doujinshi! *LOL*
