It's 3:13 am and I'm posting because I can

Nectar got here safely a little more than a week ago!  Yay.  It was a day of getting stuff for me, actually, considering earlier I had taken a trip to Ikea for the first time with Dad to get a new desk chair and Hetalia came in the mail, too.

I was so excited.  You have no idea.  I was giggling the whole way home and I almost ran.

It's so cute oh my god

I wanted fluff and that's exactly what I got.  Adorable, easy-to-translate fluff.  And it came with little laminated Rua and Bruno doodles by one of my favorite fanartists!

Is it bad that I want another one?  Really badly?  Because I think it might be.  Even though I was ridiculously upset when my music stand attacked it and put a tiny, pinhead-sized tear in the cover.  I'm pretty sure I swore at it.


In other news, I got summoned for jury duty on the 6th.  OH BOY, RESPONSIBILITY.  Which I'll probably only get a few hours of sleep before.  I know who's going to have to break out the makeup that day, at least.  Me.  Because when I don't get enough sleep, it shows.  And it really doesn't help that I have undereye circles all the time regardless, either.

Good night, or I won't shut up.

Hnnngh

I completely forgot that today was a holiday for the postal service.

This wouldn't be a huge deal if I wasn't dying to get my fanbook.


You know, it's funny - the other day I ordered the box of primers from Urban Decay, and I got it the day after the shipping notice sent.  Go figure!  Maybe it's because I live in Oregon and it came from California.

My breath caught when the package-box key fell out of my mailbox, haha.  Then I opened it and saw the UD box and went "....oh.  Well, cool!"

Everything started shipping all at once, I swear.  Urban Decay stuff, something I ordered from Borders.com...and Nectar shipped last week on the 3rd, but it has the same ETA as the others did so I'm saying same difference.

I bet that I get my Borders order and Nectar on the same day (TOMORROW PLEASE??) and I'll have to go hnnngh which one do I want to read first, conundrum.

It's almost like early Christmas, except I bought everything myself.  Ha.

Which reminds me, I still have a card from my birthday that acts as a Parent Coupon for one Wii game of my choosing.  Gotta say, I'm pretty torn between Brawl and Wheelie Breakers.  On one hand, Brawl is somewhat familiar (been playing SSB/M for years now), but on the other, Wheelie Breakers is 5D's, and if it's 5D's I want it.  I just don't know which one I want more.


In unrelated news, I heard an owl outside last night.  That's a new one.

Voting Day and other things

Disclaimer:  Political opinions are awesome.  Don't try to start a fight with me over this stuff because it won't accomplish anything.

Okay.

I'm a registered voter, first of all - Independent, actually - but for the past couple of weeks I've been getting flyer after flyer in the mail from the Republican party trying to get me and I just want to tell them "No fuck you I registered Independent for a reason leave me alone".

Hounding me is not the way to get me on your side.  At all.  It just pisses me off and makes me not like you.

Besides, I grew up Democrat with people really set in their ways.

I swear I must have voted for someone out of every party, except Constitution and Working Families.  Constitution party actually speaks of themselves as "God-fearing individuals," and even if I was a believer, I wouldn't want someone who fears God, I'd want someone who trusts Him.  (My nickname for Constitution Party is Crazy People)

I know for certain that I voted for Democrat, Independent, and Pacific Green candidates.  After I voted, I was just all "...lol how would these people work together  ¯\(°_o)/¯"

Well, here's hoping Oregon gets some good people.


In other news, a while ago I ordered a fanbook through a shopping service and it arrived at their office the day before yesterday, I paid it off yesterday, and as soon as I get the "we shipped it" notice I will freak out because oh my god first fanbook/doujin-thing ever and it's one of my favorite pairings that I never expected to have fanbooks made for.

Because it's het.

Yep.

It's actually where my Blogger name comes from (the Firebird alias, not Nerd Locket), because the English fandom's Ship List has it as "Firebirdshipping" and I just like the idea of firebirds.  It makes me think of phoenixes, the only birds I can draw decently one of my favorite fantasy creatures.
