maderrIt was most definitely worth the *omfgkillmeorIwillkillyou* of Thursday and Friday.
Spotting my parents as they arrived to greet me was perhaps the happiest sight of my life. Never have I been more relieved to see friendly faces. The ride home was fun, catching up and talking about presents. Then when I got home my sisters came out to greet me ^_^ Have not heard "Meggie" in forever (Sammie and Brandie are the only ones that call me that), and it was lovely to hear. Got to see my kitty! And she remembered me and even seemed happy to see me. Tons of presents under the trees.
And my asshat brother was asleep. The nerve! I woke him up, and added yet another mark to his "Reason To Kill Megan When I Take Over The World" list. He picked a fight later the next day, and I am ashamed to say that it was more or less a draw when we were forced to stop. Assless stickboy he might be, but there's muscle in there. And he cheats.
Got two volumes of Heat Guy J, some nice gloves, a gameboy advance and Chain of Memories (which my brother wasted no time no in borrowing XP), a really kickass comic book (which I've read like three times already) from Sammie and Brandie got me a really kickass gift which isn't ready yet - but I will share when it is done and arrives.
My dad got me this jacket I'm absolutely in love with. The fur-trimmed hood is my favorite part and it's insanely warm and makes Megan very happy. Also got the entire set of A&E's The Scarlet Pimpernel, and this really funny Dickinson plushy of the school name. Got other stuff, but am sleepy and blanking on it.
Got ham, sweet potato casserole, APPLE PIE, fried chicken, my mom's biscuits, all kinds of good stuff. And Sammie mad sausage balls. I also brought back a fruitcake which is actually good, and I plan on making everyone at least try it. Only fruitcake in the world which I'll eat.
Spent most of my time watching the various movies and anime we all got for xmas. We watched Family Guy, Southpark, Eddie Izzard, Getbackers, Heat Guy J and Columbo. And this really awesome bad movie Brandie got (she's got something of a fetish for bad movies, and a knack for just randomly finding them. I think the prize is the one about the skull of the Marquis de Sade made in like the seventies) called White Zombie. It was a riot.
It was fun. I wish I could have stayed longer but eh. It's also good to be back in Cinci.
Oh, yeah! Will have to find link. My story for the Yuletide secret santa thing was a Kurogane/Fai from XXXholic. It rocked. Totally awesome fic, she wrote the characters spendidly. Must go find link.
Must also get cracking on my revamping of Unequal. Does anyone care enough about that story that they'd like to see it as I demolish and rewrite it? Or should I just keep the harassment exclusively to my poor betas?
Goals for the next two months:
Unequal Children
Story for Seahawke
Finish Geniuses
Finish Treasure
Ken/Nagi fic
Hardy Boys fic
More Greek stories (because someone wrote a dionysus/hephaestus fic for the yuletide thing and now I really really want to write more greek stuffs. it is my Favorite Fandom, hands down).
Edit Kidnapped
New Fairytales (because I miss writing them a lot. I've really gotten lazy and sloppy lately with my writing. Time to fix that)

Hope your headache goes away babe.

White Zombie... wonder if that's what the band WZ named themselves after? Given that many of their songs were inspired by other old horror flicks, I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm so very glad you made it home. You and S should open the box and celebrate. (Why no, as a matter of fact that's not a hint. ^_^)
no subject
Date: 2004-12-27 11:56 pm (UTC)Is there a particular fairytale you'd like to see? I find I always work better when I'm writing requests.
Hee. I plan on opening that box the very second I get home.

Date: 2004-12-28 02:49 am (UTC)Puss in Boots I am currently fighting with, b/c I haven't come up with a suitable way to butcher it yet. Princess and the Pea...I shall ponder. There's gotta be a cool way to butcher that one.
no subject
Date: 2004-12-28 03:46 am (UTC)What I remember of the princess and the pea, I don't remember liking. A girl so frail she could feel a pea under many, many matresses kind of got on my nerves. If I'd have been old enough to know what a "mary Sue" was, I'm sure I'd have dubbed the princess just that. I will damn near plead with you to change the situation, but keep the same premise.

Date: 2004-12-28 04:36 am (UTC)As it turned out, the REAL reason she tossed and turned all night was because she was afraid of heights, and the pile of mattresses put her right up to the ceiling, and the Queen took away the ladder.

Date: 2004-12-28 12:54 pm (UTC)I think the coolest versio I ever saw of the P & P was in a book of mine called "Ever After" and the princess was all bruised and stuff from having to climb up the pile of mattresses and blankets - she started of grabbing the soft satins and silks, and kept slipping and getting banged up. Then she switched to the blankets of coarser fabric for handholds, and made it to the top. I always thought that was pretty neat.

Lovelovelove. JOY. I will totally forgive you from the Embrace-lackness if you do that. XD;
