A short, quick update that will turn out to be really long.

 Haven't updated since a long time ago. Oh well.

 Fact about me: My updates are very, very unstable.

 Want to know why? It's because I don't like talking about my life very often. I tend to like to keep things to myself. I'm trying to be more open though.

 Anyways. There isn't really much I want to talk about, really. But I'll see what I can do.

 So today, (technically, yesterday) two of my friends came over to my house to hang out. We had quite a fun time.

 They were really happy about the fruit roll-ups and the seaweed.

 We played Mario Party 9 and The New Super Mario Brothers for the Wii. Mario Party was very boring in a way. Mostly because things weren't going in a very fast pace. It felt very slow, unlike the past Mario Party games. When we played Super Mario Brothers though, only one of us knew what we were doing. The rest of us were dying all the time and we were just having a blast laughing ourselves silly because of how bad we were doing.

 While I went off to make some 5 minute chocolate cake, they played Rhythm Heaven Fever. My friend was doing really badly at the game. He was use to the Japanese version and claims that the Japanese version was faster and that the English version was slower.

 Meh.

 After we had our cake, we played a round of Jenga. We got pretty far before it finally toppled over. We're so easily amused. During our Jenga game, I went downstairs to the basement to get a camera and I found my sister playing the Sims 3 on my dad's computer with a PS3 controller. You have no idea how confused I was until I peeked under the table and found a PS3 there.

 A. Freaking. PS3.

 What even. I've been begging for my dad to get me a PS3 since it came out. I finally got one. Naturally, I was extremely happy about it. (I later found out that he had bought Final Fantasy XIII-2 and then I became less excited. I'll just have to buy FFXIII later.)

 After our Jenga match, we retreated to my room and did nothing relatively interesting until dinner, where we had lasagne. Sortly after, they left to go home. I hope they had fun at my house.

 Anyways, I asked my dad if I could play with the PS3 and he said" No". I asked him "Why?" and he responded that he was going to work.

 Then I asked if I could bring it upstairs and he still refused. His excuse was that the PS3 was his and I was not allowed to touch it at all. I told him that my mom would want to play as well and he still said no.

 This is where I must first inform you that my dad is an infernal bastard and a completely douchebag.

 Well, my day ended well, up until my dad being a douchebag. Which is something that should be expected. I bet I won't be touching that console until two or three months later. And even when I lay a finger on it then, he will STILL ask me why the hell am I touching HIS PS3. Prick.

 I mentioned that my mom plays video games. She's more of a puzzle gamer. You have no idea how intense our Pokemon Puzzle League matches get (Pokemon Puzzle League is basically Panel De Pon, Pokemon style). I introduced her to Plants Vs. Zombies about half a year ago and it's amusing when my mom gets so worked up over a game. We would discuss which plant works best against which zombie and it's just so amusing.

 See how long this post ended up being? Yeah, I'm like that.

 I'm going to go sleep. It's really late. Good night.

Snow :D

 I love snow. Right now, it's snowing in Vancouver - a city that's normally suppose to be raining- and I still feel that feeling I get everytime we get real snow. This is what happened when I found out that it was snowing:
----
Cheryl: Hey, sis, it's snowing.
Me: -was really tired and almost passed out- ... Huh?
Cheryl: It's snowing! And not the slushy kind either! Real snow!!
Me: REALLY? -looks out the window and sees snow falling, instantly awake.-
----
 Yeah, I was grinning like an idiot, who wouldn't? Snow is so pretty.

 Then again, they're quite a bit of hell to drive through. But I don't have my licence yet so I don't have to go through the horrible process of driving in the snow. I prefer the public transit anyways.

 Back on track. So, the moment I saw the snow falling, I had immediately dashed down to the basement to get my dad's camera and started taking photos of the snow. My hands are freezing right now though. I'm sure I spent maybe 15 minutes in the front porch trying to take pictures of the snow.

I live in a townhouse complex, so there wasn't much of a front lawn for me to take...
A random tree next to my house.


 Oh, I need to point it out to you that I'm not all that great at photography. I try my best though. Like the one with the tree. I happened to like it because of the snow. I can't describe it very well, but I liked how it doesn't obscure the tree, but kind of gives the background a soft balance.. Or at least, I think so. I'm not sure what photographers would say about that shot.

 This snow is making me want to cosplay really badly... But I don't have anything to work with right now... Hopefully, there will still be snow around by the 30th when I hang out with lovely Sae.

 I heard it's going to snow quite a bit this week. I hope that's the case :)

First Post!!

Ah. First posts are always pretty fun. Except there really isn't much to write right now. I'll just say hi and then continue editing my blog then :D
