What? 2007's over already?

Wow, how time flies. Regrettably, I'm posting this in IE (Firefox wouldn't load the update page for some reason. I blame the idiot MySpacers in the library killing the stupid bandwidth.)
Anyway, yeah, Christmas. It was great. I got lots of stuff... HEROES BOXSET! Yay!
Oh, and Sonic Rush Adventure (awesome game, but Sega must have some sadists working on level design. Gotta love a game where the tubes spit you out into the path of an impending pterodactyl... AND MAKE YOU LOSE ALL 200 RINGS. Real nice, guys. DX)
That, and a life-size (if the sprites in Pearl are right with proportions) Manaphy plush pillow. (My mom ordered it from the Avon catalog, of all places) It's big and squishy and made of soft snuggly fleece all over. Even the eyes are fleece. I LOVE IT. He's sitting in my wicker chair in front of my TV in my room. Charles sent me a gift card for GameStop- he's reading this, and I already mentioned it on the phone with him last night, but a huge thanks to him. Now I can buy Lunar Knights.
I'd post pics, but the batteries in the camera are dead and for some reason you can't upload photos from the memory card. Weird. When the problem's fixed, however, I will brag, believe me.
(Oh, and $105 in cash, counting what I've spent thus far, that being a Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle Lego kit I found on sale. It has Lego Umbridge! And Lego Snape! And Lego Ron, Harry, and Hermione! And Lego thestrals and mandrakes! heeheehee. Then I'm going to spend it on this)
Oh, and if you've got some time to kill, go and check this out:
GoGo Lolita-chan!
Lots of Engrish, but very cute new feature from the Web outpost of one of my favorite Lolita brands (which I will probably own nothing from, but it's fun to fantasize, right?) Very... Pink. And check out the pronunciation they gave for Rabbie-chan on the characters page.
Ah, and I just wrote a new ficlet on Line Inspiration. Nekou insisted, so I shall post it here.
I wish it would snow.
I'd always been displaced as a Sneasel, of course, but even Kanto gets snow at times.
Not now. It's cold, yes, but you couldn't tell by looking out the window. The human looks at me, sees me whimpering, wishing for just one flake. She says, well, there's nothing I can do about it, can't you just be happy with the winter as it is?
It's not so easy as a Sneasel. I never grew up in my home region, and when my human goes there, it's never where my kind comes from. Always sunny. But something within me longs for those snowy caves, covered in ice, longs to be able to find a warm niche, far away from the chilly wind, wants to be in my element. Ice. Darkness.
She reaches out, draws me closer, pets me. "Kali, we're here," she says. I perk my ears, climb onto her shoulder, nuzzle her as she steps off the boat, and I realize the time for dreaming is over.
And as I'm fighting later, as my claws draw the blood of some unfortunate enemy, as the human looks away, hating every moment, all I can think of is the happiness that comes from snow...
If I don't have another chance to say it, happy new year, all!
