What a wonderful way to start off a post, eh? I'm going a little nuts here, all this snow is sending me a little bit around the proverbial bend. I'm doing a little work, although not TOO much on the run up to Christmas. I'm way ahead of schedule, though, and having a blast.
I managed to get all my Christmas shopping done, too. Well, most of it. Laura's present is being shipped over from the UK tomorrow, hopefully- that is, if the weather doesn't close the airports again. That's the only worry I have this year.
Every Christmas Eve, Laura and her sister Katie come over and we all sit at the kitchen table and they babble on in this weird sister-talk thing of half-finished sentences and references to things I know nothing about, and then we exchange presents. My presents to them are always AWESOME. Their presents to me usually consist of a jar of boiled sweets.
Oh look, here's one of my doggies!
Where was I?
Oh yes, Laura and Katie. So that's the tradition, that's what we've been doing for the past few years. I have Katie's present already bought and ready to hand over, so I'm just hoping that Laura's gets here in time. Also being shipped over are the presents for my mother and my sisters, but it's Laura who's the important one. The others will understand if their gifts arrive late. Laura is the only one who will look at me with those eyes...
Speaking of eyes, look at this! I'm fairly certain a reader in Australia (or possibly New Zealand) brought these to one of my events back in... in... well, whenever I was over there.
Check it out! It's Skulduggery and the Grotesquery!
Which reminds me- I'm going to read ten pieces of fan fiction this Christmas, just to spoil myself. So if you have any favourites out there, let me know- and yes, you may suggest your OWN fan fiction, it's not as arrogant as it sounds...
These pieces would, preferably, be on the shorter side. Obviously, I'm not going to be reading huge multi-part stories, because that would mean I'd have to miss Doctor Who on Christmas Day, and that is NOT going to happen AGAIN.
And look! Another picture! This time of a some truly odd people dressed as Skulduggery characters!
And LEGO SKULDUGGERY AND VALKYRIE!
How are you guys going to be spending Christmas, by the way? We're doing some of our visiting on Christmas Eve, then the second half of visiting Christmas Day, and then mmmmmmm dinner...
After which, my cousins will be coming over to my parents' place, and we'll all play a game and eat turkey sandwiches. It's my job to pick a new game every year. We started off with poker, then decided that was clearly too grown-up for us, so this year we'll be playing Pictionary- the game of kings.
And these three little ladies will be joining the Landy clan for their first ever Christmas. The twins are dressed as the most coolest character EVER in the world (and being held on the knees of people I have never seen before), and little Sophie is dressed as some kind of... er... pumpkin... thing...
These pictures were obviously taken at Halloween.
My sisters do NOT dress their children like this normally.
Honest.
If I don't post again by Saturday, then a big Merry Christmas to all my Minions, my Munchkin Army, and my Ninja Leprechauns. For those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, you all get a big cheery wave and a slightly awkward expression.
I will write again soon, if only to tell you what astonishingly disappointing present I get from my sisters this year...

Hiya
Hey Ben
It most certainly is.
It's weird the way he can blink though.
Any suggestions for something that I could draw?
I know, he's a skeleton. Have you ever seen sleepy hollow or Sweeney Todd? Both are awesome movies.
I watched most of Sweeney Todd, mosty for the kick ass costumes. Gotta love Colleen Atwood.
Sleepy Hollow is another awesome Tim Burton movie. If you get the chance you should watch it.
I will.
anyone on?

Lol, rabid squirrel.
I agree that Nightmare Before Christmas is an awesome movie.

It is, most of Tim Burtons movies are awesome. Although I didn't really like Beetlejuice.

Hi.
After racing for AGES. Winner Dragona Pine comes on the blog. His Nissan GTR is in the garage, and he shall not boast how he beat a Zonda, a Lamborghini, 2 Ferrari's and a Audi R8 to win. He will also not mention this again. Hi all.
And I need ideas for my Playstation Network name... can you help me with choosing?
:O Lucky, I really want one of those. When I went to France my books took up half my case.
Hey Dragona.
Hi Darkane.
I need to choose a naaaammmmee!
Hey Dragona :)
A name...... I'm no good at coming up with names.........
Hi Lizzy.
Hmm... how about "Who_Me?" its my name on forums and stuff
Something cool but suits me as well... Hmm... help!
Nah... it's a good suggestion but it doesn't suit me Lizzy.
My nickname is my last name so should I just put my last name in?
how about "ppl_chucker007"
Lol Lizzy... again a good suggestion but my friends have PS3 and it's a bit of a silly name :P
be right back, i need food
Hard to pick...
Ok Lizzy.
I really have no idea Dragona.
Neither do I lol.
I'm terrible at coming up with names. I couldn't even come up with Darkane Claw, Sarthacus came up with that.
Well, do you have a favorite band?
Nope, don't really like music.
Ok, I'll never understand that but moving on. Favorite gun (Sigmus 9) or a favorite car?
Guns really AREN'T my thing... I don't even call them by the real names, just what I see on GoldenEye. And I like loads of cars, I'll name them if you want...
You don't have to name them all.
I can't choose a name... I might just put my nickname in.
And I've chosen the next game I'm going to get.
Race Driver GRID. It is awesome.
You like your cars don't you.
I like almost every type for game except for 2d and Adventure games. Shooting, Driving... all my cuppa tea :P
brb
I do like my racing games. But GRID is better than the others. Mainly because you can have HUGE crashes, and also because once you've crashed you can REWIND time up to 10 seconds and start it again where-ever in that time you want :D
Ok Darkane.
i love bagels :)
Lol Lizzy.
Tht was kinda random but funny...
but i do love them, all warm and buttery... yum!
I like Bagels...
be back later, i got an MP3 player for x-mas and i'm loading it full of music
Back, sorry. My brothers were being f****** idiots.
Ok Lizzy.
Lol Darkane.
Hmm...
Sorry, brb
*looks baffled*
Ok Darkane.
Back
Lol Lizzy.
Hey Lizzy.
Ok Darkane.
Hey, i'll be in and out, i'm working on my MP3 player
My PS3 took ages to sort...
Stupid ******* brothers.
I'll stop swearing now.
Carry on Darkane... it helps solve anger.
*holds up a punching bag*
Champagne is nice...
Champagne is weird.
But nice.
got to go :P
Bye Lizzy.
Bye Lizzy.
Well, I don't like any alcohol.
*grins*
I do!
Yeah, I figured that out.
Lol.
No hmms today?
I like cheese.
Cheese is pretty nice.
Nah... not in the mood for Hmm... unless I get bored.
Mmm, giant chocolate buttons.
Fudge :D
*Steals Dragonas fudge* yum
Need GRID :P
What is GRID?
Racing game. But I need to update my PS3 for it I think. Unless Eyepet and Gran Turismo 5 has the same update as it...
Ok, I have no idea what your talking about..... o well.
Why do you need to update your PS3 for it?
Every game it seems I need to install an update. On Gran Turismo 5 it took more than 12 hours and for Eyepet it took about 40 mins... I don't know why... it just does...
Ok, weird.
Yep... probably because it's new so it needs the things on it.
Mmmm, milk.
I mean, Gran Turismo 5 is awesome, but it lacks the crash effects. The worst one I've had is when I was in a Zonda, I clipped a wall did 10 rolls and flipped forwards whilst I was on my side. But I could carry on, my front end was bent but that was it. On GRID if you did that you would die. But at least you can use "Flashback"
Brb for a few mins... I'll be back ASAP.
Ok
Back.
Hey Dragona.
Hello again Darkane :P
Top Gear special is on today! YAY!
Lol I might watch that...
Hmm...
Aha, there's the Hmm. :D
Yep... it's back!
Have you decided your new years resolutions yet?
Hi Kallista.
And I haven't decided on my new years resolution... I don't bother with them...
