arishaI shall continue to list my Christmas presents despite the fact that I feel more selfish every time I do it. :D
This year was the year of the DVD, apparently, which is lolarious considering that just a couple days ago I was getting frustrated (again) with my lack of organization and was whining to my mother about how I own way too many DVDs. LITTLE DID I KNOW:
- A SIX-DISC SET OF SILENT MOVIES OMGOMGOMG. It's one of those sets where they pack up a bunch of movies nobody wants with one or two that somebody might want and sell them for really cheap near the check-out of your local bookstore. Which is where I pointed it out to my mom. And then I forgot to put anything like it on my Christmas list because I'd forgotten about it, hahaha. xD; But my mom apparently did not forget, and so I have a question for you, friendslist: who's feeling man enough to watch twenty-eight hours of silent film with me??? >xDD I SERIOUSLY LOVE THIS STUFF. It has Nosferatu and Phantom of the Opera and Hunchback of Notre Dame and an entire disc of Wizard of Oz movies that I didn't know existed!!! Gosh you guys, it is going to be twenty-eight hours of mismatched music and overdramatic dialogue and wacky expressions and I CAN'T WAIT.
- Three Cary Grant movies, a 1930s movie called Midnight, and Captain Blood. Why yes I did put "old movies!" as the very first thing on my Christmas list. xD So far I've only watched Captain Blood, which I'd hoped would be about a vampire pirate OH EL OH EL, but even though it wasn't it was still pretty fantastic. Plus it stars Errolivia (aaaahaha I found that word on YouTube and I shall never give it up xD ), AND THEY GO TO TORTUGA which I seriously until today thought Disney had made up, and the last scene was hilarious. So. xD
- Mamma Mia! ahahaha yes. xD For serious, though, my favourite thing about this movie is the setting. THAT ISLAND IS GORGEOUS WHY DON'T I LIVE THERE YET D:
- Ringu which no one in my family is willing to watch with me. :P Also Hana and Alice which was recommended to me years ago and I have finally got around to procuring a copy. ^^;
- The first Walt Disney Treasures volume of Silly Symphonies!!! I thought I'd missed the boat on it since it's out of print and kind of rareish. It includes "The Cookie Carnival" which is one of my favourite Silly Symphonies, that and "The Goddess of Spring" which is amazing just for HER ARMS. o_o;;
- The second volume of Whose Line is it Anyway? which apparently includes the Stephen Colbert episode!! >xD
- The fifth season of Full House which is like the most important season so I have no idea how I was lacking it this whole time. D: IN THIS EPISODE: JESSE FORGETS WHICH TWIN IS WHICH!!
My non-DVD presents included a little Sea Monkeys tank (this will be my third attempt o_o ), The Ultimate Spanish Review and Practice complete with CD which will be super awesome when I'm not focusing on Japanese ^^; , and the DS game The World Ends With You. I started giggling when I opened it, just because I've only really heard about it on Fandom!Secrets, and I think I might've confused my brother, who gave it to me. xD; It looks more complicated than most of the games I play (hahaha I'm such a n00b) but hopefully it's good~.
I also got a stocking full of Disney princess stuff which I am a little weirded out by just because I dunno, I'm still bitter I guess. >:| Also a whole whack of candy and ... toothpaste. MIXED MESSAGES, thx.
ALSO SOCKS. But that's 'cause I need some decent socks, seeing as I'm going to a country where you have to take your shoes off all the time! ^^;
Aaaaaand now I feel totally gross and selfish for writing all of that. AS ALWAYS. (y)
