How was your Christmas? Mine was pretty good, actually. Christmas Day was fun and I really do like getting other people gifts, I've found out. I received some really cool gifts (including some awesome black and orange shoes that make me smile just looking at them - you want pics, don't you?). My mom and I came up with a last second gift idea for my dad which went wrong once we actually opened the piece of shit on Christmas Day. We decided to get him a ping pong table because he, and coincidentally (or not) I, really enjoy ping pong. He hasn't played in a long time and it's been a little while for me but it's just a lot of fun. Here was the plan:
Since it was last second, we had to rush to try and find one and then get it home. Dad is the only one with a truck so we had to find someway to get it without him knowing. Luckily, he asked me to go play tennis with him and his friends Saturday morning. I decided to drive so my mom took the truck while we were gone. How she managed to get the ping pong table from the truck and into the driveway all by herself is still a mystery but she was able to hide it. So, Christmas Day, after everybody opens their presents, we giddily walk into the garage with the aforementioned "I thiiiiiink we have one more gift..." while trying not to look at dad because I'm smiling.
Long story short, we decided to put it together later after we had left the house for a bit. We come back, take everything out of the box with the intent of putting the damn thing together only to find out that the tables inside the box looked like beat up shit. Do the dumb shits at Target just throw their merchandise around when they get it off the truck? I can't believe they would even sell something in this condition. We were going to try and make a go of it but just found too much wrong with it. Dad just said "We're not paying for that shit." and rightly so. Whenever it's not rainy outside *shakes fist at window* we're taking it back. Hopefully, one day, we'll get another one.
But other than that one incident, it was a great Christmas. We never have a lot of family around for the Holidays (just the 5 of us) because everybody else lives up north, about 700 miles away. No matter, though. We make the best of it and still have a good time. So again, how was your Christmas? I don't get very many comments anymore but, to be fair, I don't really post that much anymore. Maybe I should try that again and see how it works out.
Happy Holidays!

(Belated) Merry Xmas to you too fella! Shame about the ping pong table, but at least you were still able to have a great day regardless :]
Side note: I finally have a Black Knight Sword/Great Sword! Woohoo lol!
Yeah, I've gotten a couple more but they're useless now since I've upgraded the one I got first.
Also, I'm stuck on the Anor Londo bosses. They're bitches. I'm going to try and go human, invite somebody to help me, and hope some bastard doesn't invade me.
Yeah, those bosses were an absolute fucking pain, took me ages to beat them! Felt like such an achievement when I did tho!
The only time I ever summoned help was in Anor Londo. Some guy ran through with me with a Greatsword of some sort upgraded along the flame path and absolutely decimated everything!
The bosses before the princess with the big boobs went down in less than a minute lol
Well I hope I can find somebody like that to help me with these guys.
