After I have an experience such as a birthday, which I have recently had this Wednesday, I tend to record my haul, partially because I am excited about it, and partially so I can say thank you for awesome in a public setting. I don’t know why this year would be any different, although I’ve been so busy it’s taken me a few days to write it up, as you can tell. So, without further ado, here’s my lovely haul for this year’s birthday!<\/p>\n
Jonathan got me a Pokewalker! Uh, I mean, Pokemon Soul Silver. I’m much more excited about the Pokewalker. Can you tell? I’m probably going to write a review of just the Pokewalker soon! But no, this was exactly what I was wanting. It was kind of frustrating hearing everyone talk about it, but knowing I should hold off until my birthday for just this reason. I’ve got eggs from Spants so I have the exact Pokemin I want, and I’m rocking that Pokewalker all day. It’s great.<\/p>\n
Shauna got me something… IN THE FUTURE. Apparently there’s a new Dominion expansion, called Alchemy<\/a>, which is coming out in the next month. She has preordered this for me. This is awesome. I didn’t even know it existed until a bit ago, and now I am going to have it delivered to me. Dominion is still a fucking amazing card game, and I’m not tired of it yet. Bring on more expansions, I say!<\/p>\n Speaking of things in the future, my friends apparently ordered me something that I’ll be getting IN THE FUTURE as well. They did not tell me what it was in a crazy singing Pokemon card like Shauna did, though. Still, they have good taste. I’m sure it’ll be neat.<\/p>\n The parents hooked me up with both current Race for the Galaxy expansions, which I’m sure I will talk about my first time playtesting in a later blog. Short version: they’re pretty awesome. But my mom really had to jump through some hoops and bribe people to order things she knew nothing about it get me these, so I appreciate that. She also got me a copy of FFXIII on the Xbox 360. (Yeah, yeah, it’s supposedly the shittier version, but seriously, I don’t give a crap about visual fidelity. I’d rather have my achievements and useful friends list.) I have no idea when I am going to play the damn thing, but I am excited about doing it. FFXIII has really gotten me excited with its linear nature. I’m unsure I’ll enjoy the hand-holding tutorialness most of the way through, but we’ll see. I want to try.<\/p>\n And, of course, the parents and grandparents were nice enough to supply me with cold-hard cash. Enough that I could pay off my pretty new TV and my new lappy, respectively, which is very much appreciated. Since, you know, I use those all the damn time. Heh.<\/p>\n Oh! I was just going over the party at my house! I can’t forget people who gave me presents outside this setting. For example, Kale got me this completely awesome shirt<\/a> a few weeks early for the birthday times. It’s awesome. I’ve been complimented about it quite a bit. Brer got me Kate Beaton’s Never Learn Anything From History<\/a> book, which is sweet, due to the fact that Kate Beaton is fucking awesome.<\/p>\n Thanks to everyone who celebrated my birthday. I swear I got more birthday wishes and recognition for not dying for another year than I ever had before. Even my psychologist sang me happy birthday. It’s… great to be so loved. So fucking great. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After I have an experience such as a birthday, which I have recently had this Wednesday, I tend to record my haul, partially because I am excited about it, and partially so I can say thank you for awesome in a public setting.
