Welcome, readers, to my first week back at school after Winter Break. So you should actually be quite impressed that I am managing to write a blog post. While I slightly want to be taking a nap right now, (the early mornings and homework really do wear me down) instead I am writing this blog!
So go on, ask me what it's going to be about.
Hint one! List.
That's right, the list is back! Maybe it's a motif in my writing. Probably.
But I am sorry to say, this list might not be the most interesting for you guys. I am simply going to list what I got for Christmas! Before I continue, I would like to say that in no way am I bragging or anything like that. I am just really grateful to the people that got be presents, and I love them, and I want to exclaim about them to the world!
1. 2 Harry Potter UK books. While I won't tell you where I live, I can tell you that I don't live in the UK. So this version of the HP books is really neat. I think it seems more original, and I actually like the cover art better. I haven't read them yet, so I don't know if there is any huge difference inside them, but the outside is different enough for me to make them even cooler. The two books I got were the first and fourth. The first, because well, it's the first, and the fourth because it just might be my favorite.
2. 2 Harry Potter t-shirts. They were from the WB shop, so does that make them legit or something? (Is it just me, or is "legit" becoming a popular word? It might just be my school, but I don't know if I like it. Writing it made me realize that. "Legit..." I am going to have to think about using that word. Maybe I will. But I probably won't.) One says "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (had to look at my shirt to see how to spell that) Stone. The picture underneath has Harry and Hagrid facing Hogwarts, so you can also see the castle, lake, and the Hogwarts Express. It's really beautiful, in my opinion. The other one is also neat, it's white with the Daily Prophet on the front. When I opened it I began to read it right away. You can read the captions, but some of the articles are too small to read. The picture on it is the Death Mark, and sometimes when I look at it I expect it to start moving like it would in the books.
3. Gift cards and money. These are pretty much the same thing. Some cards where to book stores, and others were for clothing and one was to Target. Originally I didn't know what I was going to do with that one, but in the end I used it to pay for part of Mario Kart for the DS. I've been wanting it for awhile, and so I finally acted and bought it! Another awesome gift card was itunes. You can never own too much music! Especially if you obsess.
4. Season 1 of The Nanny. It's an older sitcom, plays on Nick at Nite (Night? Not sure if Nick either spells it correctly or incorrectly...) and I think it's really funny. I won't try and explain it, I don't think it would work out that well, but I really think the jokes are funny, and all that good stuff you like in shows.
5. Clothing, not of the Harry Potter sort. A grey sweater, which is nice and soft, and floral shirt came from my grandma. They are both very nice. My aunt got my a black Colombia fleece. Now it's nice, and comfortable, but at the same time, I wonder. Should I enjoy this item? I now own a fleece that many other girls own. And it's a rather expensive brand, also? Is this fleece worth the money, and going with the popular item that popular girls wear at my school? In the end I decided to wear it. It's comfy, and I am not going to turn down a gift that I like from my aunt. What's the point? Making a point? Nah.
6. Harry Potter Clue. Enough said. Also, a Harry Potter puzzle. I'll need to do these with people some day. The latter with my family, probably, since it was technically a family gift.
7. Hot chocolate mixes. And makeup. All which I am not sure when I will use. The hot chocolate, sure, but not so sure about the makeup. My other grandma (so this grandma is not the same one that got me that sweater) works with Mary Kay though, and so I get a new supply every year to join the old supply. The makeup remover does come in handy though, for when I am in musicals and have to take off all the makeup you wear for on stage. So I was happy to see a big bottle of that.
8. Candy! Always good. Always.
9. A blow dryer, and PE clothes. None of which I asked for, but my mom knew I needed them, so she just gave them to me. They are both very useful though!
10. The movie Eclipse. Again, not exactly something I asked for, but something I like. I might not be obsessed with the series, but I should still own most of the important things in it-books, movies, ect, in honor of how I used to be obsessed. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me. (Just today I got the Bree Tanner book from my library. I don't really plan on enjoying it, but I figured if my library had it I might as well read it.)
So my question is, what did you get for Christmas?
