My grandmother wins a life, the universe, and everything. I asked for Volume 1 of Sandman, she got me Volume 1 of Absolute Sandman, which is issues 1 to 20 in gorgeous, huge hardback with concept art and all this amazingness. I don't even know, man.

My aunt and uncle got me perfume. Um. Okay. I thought everyone knew about my adamant hatred of perfume because all of it smells like chemicals to me, but whatever.

In other news, Assassin's Creed 2 would be awesome if not for the fucking tiny text usage. I am so goddamn sick of game developers assuming I have an HD television and can read size fucking 6 font. I am not kidding when I say I've gotten totally lost at least four times in my five hours of playing just because I couldn't read the text. I mean, seriously, WHY YOU DO THIS?! WHY WHY WHY? I feel like making a list of games that use the tiny fucking text and sending all the developers vicious hate mail. PLAYING GAMES SHOULD NOT REQUIRE GETTING UP, WALKING WITHIN 5 FEET OF THE TV, AND SQUINTING.

Otherwise, the game is amazing things. I'm seriously loving it.

Also got FF7:CC, so yay? And Pratchett's Mort. And MGS:PO. Which I also played a bit of today.

...


SO HOW ABOUT MGS:PO'S CONTROL SCHEME FROM HELL HUH?

My god, someone tell me I'll get used to it and/or MGS:PW's is better.

Hell yeah! That's a tablet! Finally baby!


Sadly.... my computer's CD/DVD drive is broken so I need to fix that before I can install the tablet. D: SO CLOSE YET SO FAR.

A certain Door has been propped open. A door with HEE HAW scrawled across it in white graffiti. It leads to a room that some DBs might find rather familiar...

Said room is large, fancy, and has both a high ceiling and a very reflective floor. It's been decorated with flashing lights, dim candles, and a giant Christmas tree. A long counter is standing to one side of the room, covered in food and drinks. Some of those whole roast chickens are a bit too big to really be chickens, but that's a technicality.

A few Frosts in Santa costumes seem to be the ones responsible for setting this up. They're standing towards the middle of the room, Hee Ho-ing happily amongst themselves.

The dance floor is open, the holiday music is playing, and the food isn't going to eat itself. Have fun?

Kate soltó un jadeo. Y después sintió un escalofrío. Y después se enamoró de él una vez más.
Y mientras él le susurraba dulces tonterías al oído, tuvo la más extraña de las sensaciones, casi como si pudiera vislumbrar todo su futuro ante ella. Cada día era más valioso y pleno que el anterior, y cada día se enamoraba y se enamoraba...
¿Era posible enamorarse del mismo hombre una y otra vez, cada día que pasaba?
Kate suspiró mientras se acomodaba entre las almohadas, dejándose llevar por sus palabras maliciosas.
Por Dios, iba a intentarlo.

You’ll have to forgive me for both being a little late as well as not being able to write this pair all that well, but I suppose that’s the luck of the draw with Secret Santas. Sorry if it isn’t up to your expectations. (Cross-posted to mgs_fanworks.)

This fic was originally conceived as a comic, but I realized I wouldn't be able to finish it in time if I illustrated it. Hopefully it survived the transition to prose form! (EDIT: Argh, hopefully it's there now! LJ KEEPS EATING MY POSTS D:)

Why does my heart cry?
Feelings I can't fight,
You're free to leave me,
But just don't deceive me
And please,
Believe me when I say,
I love you.

(Y yo que te quiero tanto, ¿qué voy a hacer?
Me dejaste, me dejaste
El alma se me fue, se me fue el corazón).

So. Um.

I wanted this year to be over so fast at the start of it. Now? I kind of don't want it to end. Seriously; best year ever. I'm now off to bed to fart off the post-turkey gas because seriously, that stuff could inflate and/or choke a donkey.

And I am overjoyed with the feedback I've had on my (totes secret) Stargate: Atlantis, Good Omens and Supernatural secret santa fics <3 <3 <3. Can't wait to finally get to link you all to them!

I hope you all had an amazing, amazing Christmas. And for those of you who haven't, I hope your New Year will pwn as hard as Christmas should have. Actually, I hope EVERYONE'S New Year will pwn - you guys and girls are gorgeous, awesome people and I love you, I love that you guys, my irl friends and my family are 99% of the reason this year's been so phenomenal in the finish.

And even if Star Trek was my little sister's prezzie this year, not mine, I would like to see your Christmas off with a spirit true to it ;).

Live long, and prosper!

Ufu I've been saving this up for a few weeks now. Zazzle is doing a Kit and Bastien one, too, which will be finished tonight or tomorrow most likely. I'm excited for it ♥

Merry Christmas, all.

I was secret santa for chewilicious !
The prompt was for either Eva topping Ocelot in some way, or them enjoying their obsession of Snake together. Here, they're in art class, but like those of us who are obsessed, they can't exactly concentrate on what they're -supposed- to draw. Lol.
I know it's a really bad drawing, I'm super sorry...My scanner isn't working so I did it on tablet from scratch, which I've never really managed to get used to, so I guess here...It's the thought that counts, eh? XD
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Title:  Art Class Fail
Pairing:  Eva and Ocelot obsessing over BB - does that count as a pairing?
Genre:  Comedy
Rating/Warning:  G
Description:  Eva and Ocelot both just can't concentrate on anything besides big Boss

The sizing is weird or something...But if you click on it, it takes you to fullview!
