Bleed in Blue

Turned 26 today. Kinda uneventful birthday. Didn't really do anything today but had suishi for it at least. Yesterday saw the new Muppets movie with my parents and it was really good. Glad I decided to go see it in the theaters. Muppets always make things better.

Anyways, here's my little birthday haul:


I actually bought the Utena ring myself but it just happened to arrive today so that's why I'm counting it. XD I've always wanted one since I was 13 but could never afford one. And well I needed one for my Utena cosplay but the official ones are no longer sold. Luckily I found a guy on DeviantArt that makes cheaper resin versions of them so got one of those. The size I got is a bit too big though but that's ok, I can glue craft foam to the inside and that should keep it from sliding around. Or might even buy a smaller one later on but don't want to bother right now.

The pony is from my friend Carrie and she gave it to me on Friday when we hung out and watched the first episode of BBC Sherlock which had been sitting on my computer for months. XD I thought of it when we were watching that day's episode of Doctor Who and they had an ad for the 2nd Sherlock film and I was all "Oh! Btw! There's a version of Sherlock done by Moffat, do you want to check it out?" And Carrie loves Moffat's seasons of Doctor Who so she was all for it. Watched episode 2 earlier today and part way through episode 3 now. Totally love it~

A little disappointed in the Play Arts Kai figures though. Lightning there is awesome and actually came with the stand this time (while Cloud did not) but its actually kinda hard to get her to do any of the poses and the gun form of her weapon likes to come apart easily (luckily I'm only really interested in the sword form of it anyways). Her hair is also very...shiny. lol Kinda odd. And she's a lot taller than the FFVII Play Arts I have so she kinda stands out. XD Might decide to put her on a different shelf. So, anywho, I decided to give her stand to Cloud since I'd rather have him do the crazy poses than her as I think his figure is more made for it. But while trying to get him to do the double handed grip on his sword, one of the hands...broke off. T_______T And I'm still trying to repair it. Waiting a good amount of time for the glue to harden and be stronger this time. I think I didn't wait long enough earlier and that's why it came off again. But its his main sword hand too. Argh. I've only had him for a few weeks too. Booooo.

1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for a week without fail.

Meme Day 4: Today's my birthday? I'm 23.

Actually its kinda been sucking so far...hopefully tomorrow will make up for it.

Edit: The Borders here is closing Jan. 10 T_T So I may go and get some stuff there since everything is 20% off but...I don't want them to close! Ugh.

My suitemates totally made my day. First Andrew gave me the set of little My Little Ponies with the insect antennae which I've wanted for quite a while but my parents forgot to get me. XP See, I was a huuuge fan of MLP as a kid and I still kinda collect them. I don't like the new ones quite as much but these little ones with antennae were way too cute to pass off. ;_;

Was feeling rather icky because that time-of-month just started and I've just been exhausted in general. But got the CD from Alyce for the anime she wants me to watch and her note made me all happy 'cause Alyce-notes are awesome-ness. ^^ Probably won't have time to watch it for a while but I do look forward to when I do.

Then Gabi and Andrew went out to get shrimp apparantly for dinner for me. o_o Though do kinda hope they get back soon so there's enough time for them to cook before I go to work. ^^;; 'Cause that could suck. Only have an hour right now too.

And then I get an e-mail saying there's a perishable package for me at Res Life. And I'm just like "eh? why wasn't it given to campus center?" and just guessed it must be a cake from the parents. No. It was a GIGANTIC thing of roses in a glass vase. I haven't been able to figure out exactly how many are in there but there's gotta be around 20, I want to say 21 since that would make sense but its been hard to count. ^^; But oh my god. O_O It's huge and I felt kinda embarrased yet really loved at the same time. Had to call Tom to bring his car so I could get them back to the suite. ^^;

So now we have a very large centerpiece for the table. ^^;;

And a huge thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday today. It helped cheer me up a lot.
