Wow guys, it's Christmas Eve for me! O_O What happened to all of the time? What? Despite this year being really bad, it flew by. >_> *Chuckles* Oh well... >w< Hopefully 2010 will be much better.

Okay, well, I'm going out to my mom's tomorrow for a few...agonizing days... I'm really not trying to be unfair by saying this, but I kinda have good reason. Let's just say my last visit was a living hell. End of story. On the good news, when I get home (after the visit sucks up almost half of my fucking break), I'll be having my friends over for two nights to celebrate New Years!

Okay, well, enough about me. Your gifts! I've gotten a good number done. I have about seven down...thirteen to go. If you're wondering why the numbers don't match up, I still have to do gift art for my friends on the outside world and on another website (Fanart-central). I will get them all done, hopefully by the end of December, so don't worry.

And as for the christmas countdown challenge, I am definitely getting that done. -_- I'm all the way to twenty-one and halfway through twenty-two. No way I'm stopping now. Which makes me wonder if there's a specific date they're all due. >_> I would hope the 31st... I could get them all done then.

Well, anyway, just in case I can't get back on (which I will try to, don't worry) I wish you all a tremendously Happy Holidays and a pleasant New Year!

Okay, this is for people on the gift list down below (or anyone who would like a gift, I will add you ^w^). 0w0 Please, give me ideas on what you would like me to draw for you. Try to keep it Christmasy if you can (after all, they are Christmas gifts). I'll draw just about anything, as long as it's not too big or complicated. I still need to finish the Christmas Countdown Challenge after all (I hope you don't mind...)

Also, if anyone wants to draw me something for some reason, what I would like is for you to draw your favorite character(s) from my series. Doesn't have to be anything big or detailed, or even done at all! I just wanna see is all.

Well, other than that, how've you all been?

I've noticed this going around, so I thought I'd do it myself.


My Christmas Wishlist


1. For my mother to get through one day without shedding a tear and to smile like she used to, despite everything that she's lost.

2. For my father to truly overcome his alcohol problem and start anew with his new life, perhaps family, and to be happy and forgive himself. I can't be with you anymore, but I hope you fend off the demons that have twisted you around and made you lose us.

3. For my brother to have God open his eyes and make him realize that his selfishness won't get him attention, but will instead push it away, and for him to safely recover from the hardships our parents' fights and divorce put us through.

4. For my sister to be able to live her life the way she wants to and for her to get the wedding she so rightfully deserves. You've done so much for me and I'll do whatever I can to help you.

5. For my nephew to be able to grow up strong and healthy with a happy life. I hope you never go through what I have.

6. For all my friends to be happy with themselves and to be safe from the world's cruel actions, as common and hard as they are.

7. To be able to hold the one I love in my arms and express how much I feel for him. We may be on different sides of the world, but I love you dearly and always will. You're the reason I'm still alive.

8. For my feet to stop hurting and being numb from the cold the other night. It was an accident to fall asleep on the porch in the middle of the night when it's barely 30 degrees, just because I didn't want to hear my nephew scream and my grandmother and brother fight with one another over stupid things that could easily be resolved. My mother says I could've died...just another accidental death from a stupid reason I suppose.

9. For everyone to have a Merry Christmas and for next year to be better than this one.

10. To have my family all together again...even for a moment...because I didn't realize how much it would hurt me to be all broken up.

...

Remember guys, your ideas for the Christmas Countdown Challenge are always welcome.

I need ideas for the Christmas Countdown Drawing Challenge. I have a few, but they're bigger picture ideas that'll take longer and that I would like to post later on.

Any idea guys?

Bakura: I'm a boy...though I get mistaken for a girl... U_U'


How old are you? (For the Meme?)

James: ...I'm not sure of my true age...but I look like I'm seventeen.
Duke: I would be about eighteen.
Gallows: Hm? Twenty. ^_^
Seth: ...that's not important...
Duke: He's a dinosaur.
*SMACK*

Duke: 8D
Gallows: >_< Duke...no...
Duke: Fine fine...
Gallows: Well, as for me, I like taking naps, reading, um, swimming, and, well, other stuff...
Seth: Hobbies? Well, I enjoy reading, drinking coffee, and outsmarting my lesser companions.
James: D< You better not be talking about me!
Bakura: I like reading too, along with baking, gardening, and knitting. 83


You got any bad habits?

James: -_- People say I'm too violent.
Duke: You are.
*SMACK*
James: Shuddup.
Duke: *Rubs head* I'm a one-night-stand kind of guy, but that doesn't really seem like a bad habit to me...
Gallows: *Coughs* XD Well, um... I've been known to sleep entire days away...and people yell at me all the time for not eating enough. @_@
Seth: Bad habits? Me? As if. *Laughs* I'm kidding. I tend to get carried away sometimes. ^_^
Gallows: .........I'm normally the one who pays for it though...
Bakura: Duke says I'm too twitchy. >_<' *Twitch*

Gallows: O__O...........O//O.....>//< *Coughs*
Seth: *Cocks eyebrow* I have a daughter...

Duke: As if, Maxwell... Eh, I've never wanted to kill anyone...
Gallows: ...
Seth: Not directly...
Bakura: I hope not... ;_;


Hate anyone?

James: MANY!!!
Duke: There's a better question. Yeah, I hate quite a few people.
Gallows: ...hate is a strong word, but, to be honest, yes...three people...
Seth: I have over the time that I've lived.
Bakura: DX The people who keep ruining my garden!!!


Now leaving on a lighter note, what is your dream?

James: Dream? -_- Kicking Seth's ass.
Seth: Good luck with that.
James: GAHHH!!!
Duke: <_< Um...yeah... Well, I don't really have a "dream" except to bang as many-
Gallows: -_-
Duke: ...fine...
Gallows: Eh, I don't really have a "dream" either...but...there is something I've always wanted. U_U
Seth: Well, I've lived my life long. I don't really have a dream or goal I'd like to reach.
Bakura: 8D I have several........ *Sparkly gaze into the distance*
Duke: ...how are we related...? >_<


I tag: ANYONE


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Okay, well, nothing's really new with me. >_> Just waiting and getting excited for the Christmas season coming up. Speaking of, I'll be doing a Christmas Drawing Challenge([link]) plus gifts, so art-trades will be on hold until the holidays are over. I'm sorry, but with Thanksgiving, I didn't have time to finish them before November was over. I hope you can forgive me.

But seriously, is anyone as excited about Christmas as me? >W< I can't wait, even though I'm completely broke. Eh, presents don't matter. 8D I just love the spirit and feel of the holidays. *Dances*

Speaking of, the Christmas Drawing Challenge is to post a "Christmasy" picture everyday until the 25th of December, starting on the 1st. If anyone could give me ideas of what to draw, I'd be mighty thankful.

8D Well, that's all for now.
