Christmas Eve

Well, well...it looks to be...a non-white Christmas! *insane cheering* Hehe, for the first time in my life, there is no snow for Christmas for me, and I'm crazy happy. Everyone said "Oh, you'll miss it." I laugh at you, anonymous warners, I laugh. Ha! I miss it not at all, and give a giant WOOT. Heheheh...

Ahem. Anyway.

Yesterday and today were my days off. Yesterday was to be last minute shopping for Aimee. The stores were insanely packed, I couldn't believe it! Then Aimee remembered that Thursday was a holiday. The Emperor's Birthday, to be precise. Everyone was shopping, of course. I did get...my new Pinky!

Isn't she adorable? I love her! She has no name yet, though...any suggestions?

I also got the coolest gashapon out of one of the machines. They were all good choices; it was all Jack from NMBC. I got the very best one. Observe!

I am so in love with it! The little sleeping Zero, the stack of books, and the open books on the bed, are all separate. It cost 300 yen, which is more than I usually spend, but it's an amazing figure. In love may not be the correct term. "Adore" may be better.

Today Aimee and I lazed a bit, which was nice. You know, the whole showering, taking pics of dolls in natural light, all that. Around 4:30 we headed out into the world, heading to Sakae to go to the Orchid Gardens. It's all done up with lights for Christmas, and was very beautiful. I took so many pictures, so Aimee was kind enough to make a little directory for me.

It was very beautiful, though because of the jazz concert, we couldn't use flash or really get around some parts. Outside there were more lights and a pond. They had Christmas trees floating in the pond. It was so dorky! But a fun way to spend Christmas Eve. We went to Wendy's for dinner, and then homity home home. :) Where I'm sitting now, talking to my family. Love you guys!
