Christmas!

Well, today is "Christmas Adam" as Anthony said. (The day before Christmas is Christmas Eve, so the day after Christmas must be Christmas Adam, right?)
Christmas Eve is my favorite day of the whole year. We always eat a candlelit italian dinner with the entire family, and sing Christmas carols, and then open presents. This year I got a green shirt with a bear on it that's saying "You know...sometimes I feel pretty average.." and some navy comfy pants. I also got some really good apple tea, chocolate, a $15 iTunes gift card, and some sort of decoration composed of cardboard and tape from Anthony. Also, I got an awesome card from Lisa.(that's the picture on the right) On Christmas Day we always go over to my Grandma Rumpza's house. I got some really nice earrings from my aunt Laura, and $50 as always from Grandma. Thus ends the list of Christmas Presents.

Personality.

Well, I figured out why I keep getting "Melancholic" as my result on personality tests. It is not, in fact, that I'm too phlegmatic to take a stupid test, it it because I have both and outward and inward personality. Inside of the chocolate truffle that is me, I am flavored Phlegmatic-sanguine, but I have a Melancholic outer shell. I always thought I was Phlegmatic-Melancholic, but it turns out, I am not. The Sanguine part of me is very influenced by certain other people. For example, say there is a person who I don't really like but I think they're okay. Well, someone mentions how annoying they are, and then I start noticing it, and I start thinking they're annoying. And then it gets to the point where everything they say is annoying. But I am mostly Phlegmatic. I'm not as affected by things as most people, and I barely ever get mad. But there are certain things that make me mad so easily. Actually, pretty much only one thing. Annoyingly Hyperactive people. There is a big difference between people who are hyper, and people who are hyper AND annoying. That's why I have so much trouble with Peter. He can't help it, he's got ADHD, but it annoys me to the death. So...yes. Even Phlegmatics have their personality clashes. Another part of my personality is that, though I might be sort of unaffected by most things, there are some things that I have stronger opinions on. That is me in a nutshell. Or..chocolate truffle shell. And now I feel like going to Legacy.

Medly of randomness.

Well, as a continuation of my birthday presents, I now have everything mentioned in the previous post, as well as a card from Rachael, another card from Frannie, a card from Iris, a pretty scarf, The abominable snowman chapstick, and an awesome coffee mug from Iris; Mambas (well, those are gone now), and a hat like Steph's from Frannie, and beads and some pretty embroidery from Rachael, and a picture of himself on a paper heart on a ribbon from Adam. Also, Lisa gave me a choice between two present: a hat like Steph's, or a pretty navy blue dress. I'm gonna choose the dress, because the hat looks silly on me, because it's too poofy.
In other news, I watched the Bleach movie this weekend. It was really dumb. At least it had the Japanese audio on it, because I couldn't have watched it if it was that horrible english dub. But, it was pretty much like watching the Bounto fillers, only without the Bounto part. "Oh no. Someone's going to destroy Soul Society...again. Oh, wait. Ichigo has another girlfriend. Oh, wait. She's a nobody, so once she disappears, he'll forget all about her, and thus no one will ever refer to her in the anime." So...yeah...it was dumb. The anime is way way way way way better.
Also, I (finally) watched Gladiatorfor the first time. Aside from almost falling asleep because it was late, I enjoyed it a lot, except for mr. creepy i-love-my-sister-and-i-look-like-I'm-dead, but it's not like I'm supposed to like him, anyways. (and yes, I do know what his real name is...)
I also am finally up-to-date on Heroes! Unfortunately, it is no longer super super awesome, it is only awesome, because my favorite character is dead. Stupid silly-face-ugly-man Mr. Petrelli killed Adam!!!! I literally shouted "NOOOOOOOO!" when he killed him. Basically, Mr. Petrelli only took away his powers, but, since Adam's 400 years old, and he can't heal anoymore, he turned into dust. So...yeah. At least they got in some good Adam lines before he died. Like when Hiro's trying to get Adam to tell him who stole the formula. Random question: What ever happened to the whole, "I am going to kill everyone you care about, Hiro." because he didn't seem to care anymore.
Finally, I saw Speed Racer, which is an awesome movie. The end of the Grand prix probably would have given some Japanese people seizures, though. :)
Well, next week is Thanksgiving, which is the one holiday of the year when I am NOT thankful, because I hate it. The smell of turkey makes me feel sick. The only good things about it are that we get two days off from school and John is finally coming home. YAY!

My Birthday

Happy Veteran's Day/Martin of Tours Feast Day/only day of the year with four of the same digits/End of WWI/signing of mayflower compact/Henry Wade and Abigail Adam's Birthdays (pins!)/MY Birthday!
Yup. The world revolves around my birthday. well, for presents today I got a certificate for one free swimsuit from Diviine Modestee, an awesome card from Frannie, and a book by Anthony, dedicated to me, listing a bunch of saint's names,. I love that kid. My birthday was pretty awesome this year, I guess.

Heroes!

Well, 'tis the day before my birthday. I already got one present last night, a $20 gift certificate to Barnes&Noble :)
Lately, I have started watching heroes, because Joe said I should, and I am a little over halfway through the terrible twos (meaning season 2 that everybody hated, but other than the ultimate stupidity produced by having Bob, Mohinder, and Matt all in the same room, it's not so bad.) I do like season two because it has Adam in it, and he is definetly my favorite character! Yay for the englishman!
I was all disappointed when Hiro leaves ancient Japan, because then Takezo Kensei is gone (I knew he wasn't dead though) But then he comes in and he's all like, "Peter, we're gonna change the future." and I said "YAY! HE'S BACK!"
My second favorite character is Hiro, cuz he's silly. Joe's favorite character is Syler, but I think he's annoying,and his eyebrows are weird, so...
My least favorite character is Mohinder Suresh, because he doesn't do anything, he doesn't have any powers, but half the show still revolves around him (and he doesn't even have a cool Indian accent) and also Bob, because he is the most horrible actor I have ever seen, Matt Parkman, because he's annoying, and Maya, because she's really whiny. Oh, also West. I hate him, too. He's really annoying (he's played by the person who plays Hunter in the Office)

Chicago: Day 2

Well, day 1 ended with a karaoke pizza party (yay!) where I had really good rootbeer. (the kind that comes in a beer bottle, only it's not quite as good as on tap)
Day 2, we went to Mitsuwa, and I had real ramen, and it had some naruto in it, which didn't really taste like anything. Then we went to the grocery section, where I got Japanese Melon pop, and waffely Ice cream treats. Then, we went to the bookstore part, and I got the book "No, David!" in Japanese, which is super awesome. Then we rented The Neverending Story from Blockbuster and watched it while eating Jimmy John's. The next day, we got up at 5:30, ran to the bus stop because it was already there, and spent another long boring trip back on Megabus. There was this movie playing in the bus about this woman whose Muslim husband wanted to visit his family in Iran, and she went with him, but he wouldn't let her go back home, and finally she escaped with her daughter. I kept thinking , "Oh hey, that part's like Blink." :)

Chicago: Day 1

Well, yesterday, I hopped on Megabus at 4:00 PM with my brother Joe and we went to Chicago to visit Steph. We didn't get there until 12:30 AM, and then we crashed at her apartment. I slept in till 10 and then we went to Chinatown with Lisa and Nathan. Steph bought me a really cute monkey bowl as an early birthday present (pix later). And I bought one of those cool Chinese spoons that look like they're from outer space! When we got back, we watched the new Office episode. Then, Stephanie, Lisa, and I played dressup (yay). (pix later) Basically, we just took pictures in random outfits. I've been wearing Steph's pipe-smoking hat the whole day so far, because I think it looks really cute. We ate lunch in Chinatown, where I discovered that I actually do like Chinese food very much. It was super good :)
Pizza'a coming soon, so I gotta go. More tomorrow!
