Christmas Spirit !

EXAMS ARE DONE! (: Freedom, ROFL. The six exams I took deprived me of so much sleep... <<; The only downside right now is that I have a dentist appointment on the 23rd. Not looking forward to that --; My brother came back today though (: He's staying until the 26th I think? Because his birthday is the 24th, he's spending it with us, but his girlfriend, Karen, has her birthday two days after his, so yeah... Same year too, two days younger xD

Anyways, (though no one sees what I write,) 'cause I promised to post pictures of my Christmas presents up, here they are~


^ Christmas stockings and fireplace first (x




^ And I went broke after that (: LOL. TT;


More pictures later? Maybe ;DDD

Story Time

Because I don't feel like studying for exams anymore, for now at least, I made a list of the best completed fanfictions I've read on soompi. I don't like those stories that are (too) cliché so it's really hard to find stories that catch my interest and keep it with a somewhat deep plot that's well written. ^^ Simple stories are best. Those with a deep plot hidden inside the story are much better than people who try to make everything too complicated like the fanfic "High School." A lot of people seem to like it, but I .. don't haha; it's just my personal opinion though.

Beach Boy, dearskye.
Conversations Between Us, Solangel
Crazy Dog, dearskye.
Daydream, orangebubbles
Disloyalty (SS), I^am^me
Keys Before My Eyes, Thao
Linked to You, anika
Moments of Sanity (SS), `tealeaves
My PingPongBoy, Moe
Red Lavenders, anika
So Love... (SS), digigirl99
To Love Death, dearskye.
White Calla Lillies, anika

"Disloyalty" is a tearjerker, but it was so beautifully written. "Moments of Sanity," which also made me cry, is written quite uniquely, but it's one of my favorite stories. It's super short, but there's so much that you understand though the couple lines in each chapter, because you hear the thoughts of both main characters that understand each other perfectly in an odd way. "So Love..." kept me on my seat the entire time. It's just so... perfect, in a sad way. I finished reading it yesterday, because I didn't have time before. I absolutely fell in love. <3


Other Notable stories (that aren't complete yet): Blackmail, Siren, Suicide Note, Him & Her, Pocket Change
Kumikox3 is the author of both Blackmail and Siren, which both give me high expectations. (: I've only read the prologue to Him & Her, but I'm waiting until the author (digigirl99) finishes it, because I know once I start, I'll be waiting for more -__-; bad habit of mine. She's also the wonderful author of "So Love..." and "Pocket Change"!

Notable Authors: dearskye., anika
dearskye. is such a good author. Her stories are always so deep though if you think about it. I absolutely loved "To Love Death" and "Crazy Dog," though I didn't understand them at all at the start of her writing. anika always has great stories. I can't remember much of Linked to You because I've read so many stories after it, but I definitely remember that I adored the story. I've read all of her stories, which are all on my list ^^.

I'll edit when I get time to if I get new stories that I learn to love (:

Exams

Exams are next week, starting Wednesday! ): Oh how I hate them, bleh. I'm going to be bringing my Christmas presents for friends tomorrow or Friday; it'll be fun! (: I'll try and post pictures of the presents later, either this weekend or... after exams :/

Today was the last day that teachers were allowed to give us tests or whatever before exams, but of course since my English teacher is stupid, she's assigning us stuff on the review sheet that our class made and she's grading us on the presentation tomorrow! It's so dumb... Instead of her reviewing with us, she's making us review ourselves and then grading us on how we teach to the class, blah blah. Stupid extra grade before the exam --' I don't wanna take my exams T^T. 6 exams this year, ew. English and Spanish exams are on Wednesday, Chemistry and History are on Thursday, and Math and Anatomy are on Friday. I'm totally going to fail the English, Chemistry, and Anatomy exams for sure ;__;.

I can't wait until Christmas though! And winter break (: Party it up LOL. ♥

クリスマスtree

We got our Christmas tree yesterday, because the place we go to (my old school) sells trees during the first week of December. Here's our Christmas tree in our family/living room! (:

You can see the present I got my parents LOL. Godiva Chocolate! (;
I went Christmas shopping yesterday, so I'm completely broke! T__T I'm going to one of my friend's 17th birthday thing at her house, so I bought her a gift too. I'll post up pictures of my presents after I give them out! I really like this one scarf that I'm giving to my friend. It's really cute, in my opinion~ I almost want it for myself LOL :P
