Man, why am I so tired? It's vacation, I'm supposed to be getting infinite amounts of sleep and feel rested and happy. Tragically, I sort of undermine that possibility by staying up WAY TOO LATE reading Merlin fic and playing the game they have on the BBC Merlin website, which is surprisingly hard. I can't beat the last level! :P My mind also apparently doesn't want to get out of stress mode. My first night home, I had vivid and extensive dreams about things like forgetting to write a paper, or breaking another car key. THANKS BRAIN. But I think I'm slowly unwinding. It's an amazing feeling.

With all my free time, I've made a new header for myself! It's Merlin and Arthur being intense and pretty and I loff them. Go see! ---> [livejournal.com profile] exsequar I also added an interest icon for those boys in my sidebar :D

Today we had a present session with my Mom because my brother isn't coming to Ohio with us and therefore she can't give him his presents then. So she gave him his presents, and a few more were exchanged, and SHE GOT ME A NEW CAMERA!!!!!! :D :D It's beautiful and BLUE and TINY and the features are just fantastic - 8 megapixels!! My old camera was 3.2! I just ran around the house taking pictures of random things. The zoom is just stunning (3.0x optical zoom, plus digital zoom up to 12x). I will have to share some photos with you soon - right now I'm too tired to set it up :P This is my baby (in the blue) and I loff her. WHEE!

I've also been watching a lot of Six Feet Under. It's soooo gooood. &Nate;! &Claire;! &Dave;!

Despite not being very rested, I am having a LOVELY time hanging out with my daddy. For the past two days it's been essentially just me and him, and it's wonderful. We went shopping together for presents, which was very successful, and we've just been hangin out, watching the Discovery channel and eating his nom nom home cooking, which is one of the things I miss most about not being at home. Yay for Daddy time!

I hope you all are having wonderful holidays with your families. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! to all who celebrate, and HAPPY HANNUKAH!!!! for those who celebrate that, and HAPPY THURSDAY!!!! to everyone else! ♥

In one of the magazines I picked up at Borders, Gerard was asked to give five words to describe his bandmates. His answer was: passionate, fun, sweet, nerdy and talented. *sigh of love*

I drove through the birthplace of MCR today - Belleville, NJ. It's so... Jersey, completely typical of working-class Americana. It was a little surreal and a lot cool :)

I'm home! I made dinner with my daddy, and ate said delicious dinner, and am happy. Made the fam listen to MCR's live compilation from LOTMS in the car on the way home, and I think my dad really liked it. \o/

[livejournal.com profile] neverneverfic said something about last.fm that made me curious - when she made her account, it retroactively counted everything she'd played in her media player. I guess that's a new feature, because it didn't do that when I made my account. So to test that out, I started a new account and it was like, want us to count your history? And I was like, ooh, yes plz! The result is pretty nifty. On my old account, which has been counting plays since April, the top five looks like this:

MCR: 2,168
Panic!: 1,599
TAI...: 1,196
FOB: 1,086
Tom McRae: 603
TOTAL: 12,243

Now, on my brand new account, which includes all plays since last September, which is when I got this computer, the top five six look like this (including The Used, because I am amused that a band I downloaded two weeks ago is number six on my year+ list):

MCR: 3,243
FOB: 2,299
Panic!: 1,798
TAI...: 1,519
Bush: 874
The Used: 763
TOTAL: 29,092

Crazy! Apparently I listened to MCR a thousand times between December 06 (when I got TBP) and April! And I knew FOB was disastrously underrepresented. Oh, this also takes into account all my iPod plays, which last.fm often fails to scrobble. Last.fm is addictive, you guys. ♥

In other news, have Gee introducing the lead singer of The Bled - Frank takes off the guy's shirt for him, and then the guy hugs Gerard and kisses him on the cheek. !!!! *fans self*

OH HAI Panic! website was just updated!!! 01:01:08!!!!!

I just got the BEST early Christmas present EVER, omg.

My little sister didn't yet know that I was coming home for Xmas, so she had my present shipped to me. And and and it's a My Chemical Romance hoodie!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It's soft and warm and GORGEOUS. It's THIS ONE, which is absolutely the one I would have chosen because, I love you Gerard and company, I really do, but I don't really want to walk around with the word DEAD on my chest, or a nuclear mushroom cloud. Yaknow? This is dark but PRETTY, and I'm so in love with it. It fits me perrrrrfectly, not too big or too small, with sleeves that go right to the middle of my hands exactly as I like them. I'm NEVER TAKING IT OFF EVER.

If you're reading this, I LOVE YOU MEREDITH. Thank you!!! You are the best little sister EVER. *smish!*
