Well, now, Happy New Year!

I hope and trust that you all had an enjoyable Holiday Season, and that you all cleaned up with Christmas presents. I know I did.

There are a few things that I have neglected to blog about, since my last entry. I avoided writing, becuase I found out my brother would be home for Christmas, and I wanted to see how he'd react to a few changes aroud the house. Mostly my new parakeet. You see, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, my mom found out about a family giving away their little blue parakeet. I asked her if we could take him, not really expecting her to say yes, but she did. (Funny story, I got a pet hamster when I was 9 because my mom told me to ask my dad, expecting him to say no, obviously, he didn't) (Ok, maybe not so funny) Anyway, I got a free budgie, that I spent $100 on the day after he came home. Bird supplies are expensive, dude. The guy who was at the house when we picked the bird up wasn't too informative, he didn't know what his family had named the poor dear, so we got to name him. I am now the proud "mommy" of The Dread Parakeet Roberts! We call him Robbie. The name is, of course, taken from The Princess Bride, my favorite quotable movie.

So, as I mentioned, my brother was able to come home for Christmas, which means I got to see him again for the first time in 2 years. I'm amazed and pleased to say that he's been here since Christmas eve and he and I haven't had a single argument. Either we've each matured, or we've been too busy to get on each other's nerves. I'll be nice and call it a combination of the two. He wasn't too surprised by Robbie, though.
I was surprised, though, to learn a few days prior to his arrival that we would be keeping his cat, Sammie. Now, most people that know me, know that I consider cats to be essential to life. No cat, I die. (Exxagerating, yes, but only slightly) But even I know that 3 cats in one house can be pushing it. Especially when cats continually look at Robbie with hungry eyes. (Poor little out-numbered bird) I've only seen Sammie out of my brother's room 2 or 3 times so far, but I'm sure she'll adjust to life here. Especially when she realizes that my brother is leaving.

I have seen Chronicles of Narnia twice now. I definitely enjoyed it and hope they continue and make each book into a movie. It would give me another movie series to look forward to. Star Wars and Lord of the Rings is finished, so I need a new series. (Ok, I suppose "need" is the wrong word, I Want a new series to look forward to)

Christmas was fun. We had a bunch of people over. I got the Nintendo DS I wanted, and quite a few other things. Including Twilight Zone seasons 1 and 3 (Mum couldn't find 2, oh well) I've got 8 games on the DS, but am pretty much taken up with Animal Crossing Wild World and Nintendogs. I find time for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, though.

New Years Eve, we only had three people over, but it was still fun. I got to watch my Dad, Brother and two guy friends "kill" each other in Medal Of Honor. I didn't play, but that's ok. Let those boys think I can't play video games, I know they're wrong. *wink* I didn't get to sleep until 3 am, and that certainly isn't normal for me. Sorry to say, I wasn't at church on Christmas or New Year's, but I'm sure I'm forgiven for it. I did go to a church, just not my own, and not for services. Sharday and Nick's church had a barbecue yesterday afternoon. I went, and got my butt kicked at Phase 10, which I now hate. (I'd never played before, what can I tell you. By the way, I wanted to slap Alan, really hard. But I think it was just because I was extremely tired, I don't usually want to slap him.)

Well, yesterday, my dad had to take our new computer back to Best Buy, and got a new one. So, I've just finished transfering all my music onto the new one, and updating my ipod. I was just taking some time between to catch up on my blog. My dad needs to do something else, so I'll wrap up here and finish my other tasks.

(I love this bird, he likes the funkiest music. I'm playing Stitched Up by John Mayer and Herb Hancock, and he's just chirping up a storm. Parakeets get loud, my friend, really loud!)
