I know that I’ve majorly neglected blogging, but I’ve been held up with finals, designing, life, and just plain laziness. After you stop something, it’s hard to get back into the swing of things.

BUT I am here for now (we’ll see how long this lasts, hm?). So going off my title, HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PEARL-Y IN THIS WORLD. Z knows what I’m talking about because I just had a huge OMG!moment to him, but I have to rant more. It was just SO freakin’ fantastic and wonderful that I have to blow up somewhere. Facebook wasn’t satisfying enough and I can’t hold this in.

I put a cut just for.. I don’t know who, but I did. *shrug* Maybe your sanity…

Dumb Larry died so I must rewrite.

Guess who caaaaaaaaaaaaame today?

Not the Kitty I would’ve liked to receive (Figures, karma always gets me), but she’s cute nonetheless and the envelope she came in was very purty. Kaito got the Jamaican one so I counted my blessings. :’)  That means Ken or the other non-guildies got the ones I wanted. Poop. ):

I actually nicknamed her “The Commy Kitty” >.> It is simply a joke and is not meant to offend anyone; if it does, I sincerely apologize.

(That blue leg, butt or head is my little Cookie Monster!)

I also received a package from one of my online bffs on Friday, but didn’t get to pick it up ’til this morning. She sent me a Nemo and Mushi + a letter (: *was too lazy to take pictures of them*

And is anyone else’s WordPress (blog feature thing) driving them crazy? I don’t know what’s up, but every time I uploaded a picture, it wouldn’t reload the page. I had to press the Blog Beta button at the top just to go back to continue writing my entry.  Blah!

2 packages down, 3 to go!

♥ Cinnamon Sticks Guest Giveaway

I actually won Blog of the Week. It’s a miracle!

I never thought I’d see the day because I haven’t written anything with a ‘theme’ (like Starrfire7 and her LTS craze, etc. ), just random stuffs that happen to me. I was even thinking about starting a story about the GMs just to get a chance at least. x)

And figures Z would get a mention. ;P We’re getting pretty infamous, alien!

Moving on… Received the email to send in my name and address yesterday. Sadly, we don’t get to choose which plushie we want so fingers crossed that I get either of the 2 I want. 20% chance.

Also just a plug for a girl whom I don’t know, but has epic baking skills. VOTE FOR DAWN! No offense to the other entries, but this cake really takes the cake; hands down.

Okay, seriously?! This is the THIRD time that I’ve had to write this post. Stop breaking on me, darn it! >:O I hate when this happens. I always write super long things then my posts freaking poof. -_-

Anyway, hooray, I actually won third place! I never win things, but then again, there was Blog For Thought.. And last week, I won a handmade bag. Nevertheless, congrats to my fellow guildies/infamous robots, Kenman and Kaito, as well as the other winners. Yay for plushies!

And btw, I am NOT a robot. Not hardcore enough to be one. xD

The Oscars were on tonight and Hugh Jackman did an okay job. It wasn’t anything stellar overall (fashion included, sadly). I’ve watched every awards season for years (it’s my religious thing) - there were better ones in the past. :/ The only thing I really liked were the intros from previous winners for the Best Actor/Actress categories - they were lovely and so heartfelt.

So here is my usual memory entry, filled to the brim with reunion lookbacks. Warning: Your computer may seizure or you could drown in images.

BIG.

Like Clifford the Red Dog BIG.

The HKO Happy Hearts Reunion is finally upon us and it’s about time, honestly.

So like I said before, I’ve been online shopping. Besides eBay, I finally bought some things (Only 2!) on Etsy. If you’ve never been on there, you are amazingly deprived. It is like the homemade crafts version of eBay, minus the auction part. People who craft or design things for a living or as a hobby, post their items on here for sale and you can buy whatever you want. From jewelry to wedding dresses to house decor, it’s pretty awesome.

And I finally gave in. I have no self-control. It’s pathetic, really. Oh, Hello Friend is this little shop that has adorable items up for sale. I bought a necklace and the packaging she ships her products in is too cute and so original.

 

 

And last, but not least - a pretty old thing I received last month. I signed up to participate in Free People’s Art of Giving Crafts Swap. You had to basically create something winter-y to send to your partner by New Year’s.  Here is what my lovely partner sent me:

 There was also a dress/tunic thing, but I didn’t feel like getting it out. x) She knit it all!

I luff mail. Mail is exciting to receive - except when it’s bills. ;D ANYWAY, SEE EVERYONE ON HKO TONIGHT!! *cheers*

 Betcha $5 we won’t get on ’til at least an hour later. >.>

The 44th President of the United States of America.

At 12:05 PM EST, he made history.

Change has come.

Yesterday was a good day. (: Surprisingly, despite the fact that we did have a 4.5 earthquake Thursday night and my roommate & I freaked out. It was a good day, a good end to a mildly craptastic week and I was cheerfully happy.

First, my HKO Diamond Pendant was delivered, but since no one was home, I picked it up later today (Saturday). ^^ I’m a little amazed at how quickly it got here. Left Hong Kong on the 6th, came into the US on the 7th and ta-da, on the 9th, it’s here!

You can’t see it, but there’s a tiny heart charm where the clasp is as well. (: The card is this lovely piece of jewelry’s certificate of authenticity. The pendant was smaller than I expected, but still so cute. And the box too!

Windows 7 came out at midnight on the 9th. Ironically, I didn’t find out til midnight on the 10th. >_> I’m downloading it now - will take hours, but it sounds very worthwhile for just a beta so far.

And lastly, after 3-4 trips to the post office this week, all my packages are sent out and I’ve (for the most part) received everything I ordered. x] ‘Cept one, just coming from the UK. I’m so excited for one of my best friends to get his gigantic package that took me a whole year since last Christmas to send. >.> Waaaay overdue.

Anyhoo, toodle-loo!

Oh, and Zel kidnapped me and put me in a flying teacup. x]

 

 Free pendant + $3.95 s/h (10-18 days), yippee! (:

WE WON.

OH. MY. GOD. Bellkana won for her Pong entry for Crop Circles which I so knew she would. And Rinsama and I won Blog For Thought! It’s about 4 AM ish and I haven’t slept for 48 hours, but I’m so excited and happy for my fellow HKO Founders and myself! YAY US! Way to represent the guild!
