Gah, families are crazy. This morning, outside my room were a few wrapped presents for my birthday. My mom told me that I couldn’t open them unless the whole family was present. Sounds fine. Of course, most of the day I’ve been home alone. My mom and sister have been out together, and the few times my dad has been by, they haven’t been here. Am I ever going to open them? Maybe in a week.

Of course, I still get my guessing games. One is quite obviously a CD. I have no way of guessing which one. I’m taking a stab in the dark and guessing “Magical Mystery Tour”, as I had complained to my sister a great deal yesterday because she had taken my copy with her to California. Number Two is a tall, thin, soft-back book. My mind suggested “The Pratchett Portfolio”, but I’m not sure if it’s available in the U.S., and I doubt my dad would have heard of it. Plus, it’s too thick to be “The Pratchett Portfolio”. Meh. Maybe it’s a “how to draw” book. That sounds like something my dad would do. Number Three is hidden by tissue paper in a very lightweight, small, pink sack. No guesses ventured.

I want to find out what they are! Mrah! ::wrinkles nose and goes downstairs for chocolate milk::

I went scan-happy. Pictures. Joy!

Yes, that *is* Adam Pascal — last year in New York

Ann and the sheep — two summers ago at Camp Hell. This was my wall decoration.

A very large sheep — part of a prank at Camp Hell.

Homecoming 99 — this dress bothers me.

CosPlay Exploits — a jedi at The Camp of Joy two summers ago. For a lip sync contest. I chose “The Saga Begins”. The belt is made out of duct tape.

Leia hair — at Camp of Joy two summers ago. Shauna gave me the Leia hairstyle from the beginning of TESB for a Dance of Doom.

Old shoes — I love these shoes. They’re older than I am. Too bad my parents have forbidden me from wearing them.

Sirius and Me — at the Rose Center in New York. I hate cameras. See my pretty dragon on my binder and my groovy Quatrix t-shirt.

Teatime — I hated this assignment. Self-Portraits. Bleugh.

Use whatever you want, Tanja. But not the Sirius one. Or the picture of Ann with the sheep, because it is obviously not me.

I just reorganized my cd collection. Ah, it gives such a feeling of satisfaction. Now all Beatles and Broadway and A Cappella and Weird Al are properly arranged. Muaha.

I think I’ve settled on a design for tnm.n. It’s very simple and quick to load, with plenty of breathing room, versatility, and update potential. Let’s just see if I still like it tomorrow…

Ahh, joy. I got a couple new Beatles CDs for my birthday (Let it Be and Live at the BBC), and Live at the BBC includes a track with Paul singing “Till there was you” from The Music Man. ::pokes Sannali and sighs happily:: And they’re all cute and amusing. ::hugs the Beatles::

Oh, and Monica got a blog. The title amuses me.

I was going through my files, deleting everything possible to free up more space, and I found Kell’s Monkeypants!Draco calendar image. ::snickers madly:: She should win an award or something for that…
