OH MY GOD I AM SORRYYY!!

So, I've failed miserably on the blog-when-you're-supposed-to front, and I apologize. Two of my Saturdays were spent in Pittsburgh at my grandma's house, and she doesn't have a computer, so blah. And I forgot yesterday because I had a fail moment. Bunch of confusion over who was spending the night at whose house. So now my friend Josie is asleep on my bed at the moment.

Anyway, I had a pretty awesome Christmas, which was to be expected. I love going to Pitttsburgh so much. Pretty much the whole population is in some way part of my dad's side of the family. It's crazy, and I'm still crazy tired from it.
Every. Day. Is. A. Party. Literally. I think there was only one night that wasn't spent at another relative's house until 4 the next morning. But it's so much fun, especially my cousin Keith's new wife whose name I can't spell because she's Vietnamese, but it's pronounced like "twee." She's so cute and fun and friendly, she fits right in ^-^

On to other stuff.
10 facts about me:
-1. I have Cystic Fibrosis. It's not too bad, I guess it's like super asthma, at least that's how I end up describing it to people who've never heard of it before. lol
-2. I have two little sisters who look nothing like me, as I am the only really dark brunette out of the three of us, and I'm also the only one out of my sisters and my parents with green eyes, everyone else has some shade of blue. I'm the oddball =]
-3. I like to collect books. Usually on some obscure topic. Pirate Primer, Guilded Tongue, etc. I just really like random books. And books in general. I always end up spending the most money when I go to some bookstore as opposed to anywhere else.
-4. I spend a lot of my time on the internet researching pets I wish I could have in case of the event that I magically acquire such animal. I look up things like breeds, care, pictures, stuff like that. Most recent was horses. There have also been a lot of searches on German Shepherds, rats, Muntjac deer (oh my god do a Google image search, they're 100% pure concentrated cute), rabbits, hamsters, snakes, blah blah blah. I'm silly like that.
-5. I firmly believe that the name Andrew increases the chance of the male with that name to grow up and have great hair. Really. Magic name. But I know 5 andrews and they all have really nice hair. My dad's friend looks like hippie Jesus.
-6. One of my like goals is to be multilingual. I want to become fluent in Spanish (I wouldn't care so much, but I live in Florida, and last time I was in Miami it was un poco loco), French, Japanese, German, and Italian. Also, how cool would it be to learn Elvish, like from LotR? *nerdalert* hah!
-7. I love gift wrapping. Whenever Christmas rolls around, I'm always running around my house looking for the wrapping paper, and hoping we dont have any so I can run to Target and get some really pretty pattern, and those bow things. Damn I love those. Also, we just bought that Scotch brand wrapping paper cuttter-stick thing and the tape dispencers that straps to your hand. Thay're so cool!!! AHH!
-8. I actually think I'm somewhat psychic. I don't know. Sometimes I think I get these weird premonitions, and then it happens. Like on Christmas Eve, I had a dream that my boyfriend got me a photo album, and then when I opened his gift the next morning, yeah, photo album. It was cool. And when people are talking, and then pause because they're thinking of what to say next, in my head I end up thinking of a word that might fit what they're thinking, and then that's the word they end up saying. It's weird. Eh, call me supersticious.
-9. I love sushi. I mean it. I really. Love. Sushi. My boyfriend took me out for sushi dinner like 3 nights in a row this week. He loves me ^-^ plus he loves it as much as I do, yay! My favorite has to be unagi. I love me some eel. Hot rock is pretty bomb too.
-10. I would love to be a bartender, only because you get to mix stuff together. I'm the person who goes to those fast food joints where you get your own drink from the fountain and procedes to mix every one together in the cup. It always tastes like Dr. Pepper in the end. When I was younger, too, I asked for a Proffessor Snape Potions Set because I wanted to make potion drinks and stuff. I dont know if we still have it, but I hopw we do, because I'm feeling nostalgic.

Food:
Good tie between Chinese/Japanese cuisine and Italian. I love me some pasta and mozzarella caprese, but everything tastes better with chopsticks.

What did I do for New Years?:
Andrew and I went to our friend Tony's place, which is out in the middle of bloomin' nowhere and played Left 4 Dead and Halo, watched some random YouTube vids, and lit off some commercial grade mortars, which was awesome. At one point, the neighbor's dog bolted out right after Andrew had lit one of the mortars and it knocked the canister over, but thankfully it shot in the opposite direction of where people were standing, so it was all good. Later that same dog tried to eat the flames coming out of one of the fountain things. It was quite lol. The dog's fine, btw. It was one of those flame-retardant breeds, I guess.

Yay, presents!:
I got some pretty cool things. From Andrew I got a really awesome scarf with the Hogwarts crest on it, with scarlet and gold striping and fringe, and straberry Sally lipbalm, from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and a photo album for us to keep adding to. It's so sweet<3
From "Santa" I got Horton Hears a Who and a special edition DVD of the Nightmare Before Christmas, Brain Age for my DS, Ferrero Rocher candies (*squee!*) a hairbrush, and a bunch of mint-based Burt's Bees suff, which smells like happiness on a spring morning.
I got this really awesome photo book full of prints but Life photographers, and some of the pictures you can actually take out of the book and frame if you want. Pretty awesome.
Some of my favorite gifts that I gave were this giant fuzzy blanket that I got my boyfriend, a Buddha box for my best friend that was really neat looking, and for my dad I got a 4-disk DVD set of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Woot woot!

Okay, I think I got it all. Sorry to have kept missing my day like that, and now sorry for intruding on Tyler's day -___- I fail, but I won't anymore, promise!
DFTBA~~
