And then I work 8 hours tomorrow.
H -- For some reason, that lone letter was saved as a draft. No wonder I had no idea what would be restored when I clicked 'okay'...
I hope everyone had a nice day, regardless of whether you celebrate Christmas or not!
I appear to have survived the day without any horrible or violent incidents. Largely because my brother and mother have been running interference, but also apparently because the man has finally begun to understand that, yes, actually, some of this (possibly even most of) situation is his fault. Sure, I have to make it to almost 10 tomorrow morning, but most of the following hours will see one or both of us asleep, anyway. So I'm counting it as a success. (Five minutes into the future, the house explodes and takes half the planet with it.)
I'm pretending my mother was amused when I gave her Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. I don't think she'll play it (they haven't had the Wii on it, um. Months, anyway.) She did seem to actually like the rest of the stuff my brother and I came up with. (We didn't really get my father anything. He didn't want anything, in our defense. My brother's situation was fairly similar, so I think mom and dad are planning on just giving him some money to help pay for his new computer. Which is amazing, by the way. Everything looks incredible.)
I finally have my own Sega Dreamcast! ...sooo, now I can play the original Ecco: Defender of the Future again (YOU KNOW WHAT when they ported it, they changed basically nothing except the location of ONE vitalit and I drowned like a million times trying to find the stupid thing before giving up and progressing wit the level AND THEN THERE IT WAS NEAR THE END and I threw Ecco into the wall a few times because there's sometimes something cathartic about the sound of his nose colliding with the stone walls? Sometimes the noise just makes it worse, though. It depends on why you are hearing it...)? And Sonic Adventure, whoo! And... something called Illbleed, because my brother thought since I play Silent Hill that I might like it, or something.
Mom also bought both of us (er, my brother and I) phones. Still not proper phones, really - his actually does have a contract, and mine is another "pay as you go" because I never use mine... but apparently now I can call internationally for pretty much no extra charge, which is pretty cool, I guess. Because... I call international numbers... ever. But now we have to figure out how to transfer my number to the new phone (because I like my number. It's easy to remember).
... and wool socks. Lovely, lovely, warm wool socks. AND A SPIFFING HAT. And an Optimus Prime ornament with candy inside it, which amuses me, and I'm not entirely sure why.
I love that the hotel block sold out by almost 200% in under 24 hours. (My mother making a reservation is probably the best present I got, haha. Hopefully it holds...)
