Posted in How is your gift shopping going? Posted 6 years ago
I'm not really a Christmas gift-giver. I'm more of a birthday present kind of person, because it allows me to spread out my shopping haha. It's too stressful for me to think about what each person wants all at once, especially because I'm so indecisive. But my friends and I do a secret santa gift exchange within our group, so then each person only has to buy one thing and everyone's happy! Although this year we're not sure if we can actually meet up over the holidays, so that's yet to be decided.

@Selikait: Ahh I haven't played it but I think my friend owns that one. He might bring it over for Thanksgiving (if he... shows up that is). I have no idea what the game's about tho!

@xirin: okay maybe petri dish is a bit of a stretch because they're just circular plastic containers (but that's basically what petri dishes are lets be real)

Ahh do you mean the second Legacy game? I really want to play it with the same friends as I did the first one, but graduation happened and now we're not near each other at all

@MoodyBats: I know what you mean though. I used to draw a lot when I was younger and I'd improve so fast just because of time spent practicing. I haven't drawn very much at all in the past 7 years, and it's really true that my art now doesn't look very different from what it was 7 years ago. I feel like I'm relearning everything just to get back to where I was before.
So I'm rooting for you! A year is lots of time to study, and I hope that you'll always keep going!

@Rayon Declaire: awesome, thanks for helping out! I've added you to the pinch list

Charcoal is all fun and games until it gets all over your paper and then your hands and then your face rip
My art teacher used to keep a mirror next to the doorway of her classroom just so you could check your face before returning to the real world hahaha

@Apollo Im Burning: I've never experienced seasons my friend!! Over here it maybe drops or increases 10 degrees and THAT'S ABOUT IT
ahh I'd love to go hiking and see all the nature around the world tbh... but I'm also definitely NOT an outdoors person so I would for sure need someone to go with me who knows what they're doing (and can tolerate me) haha

I've never been to any of those places! I wanna visit Seattle... it seems like a fun place to live. Coffee shop during rainy day aesthetic (this is all I know about Seattle whoops)
Aww that sucks for Jordan because there's so much rain hahaha poor soul

@Amber Lynne: Thank you for the tip heheh

@Selikait: I love Pandemic ahhh I'm also a nerd so I'm biased towards the science theme. When the game pieces come in PETRI DISHES man I'm sold

My friends and I played the Legacy version (which is... expensive and playable only 12 times) and it was amazing... there's an ongoing storyline and the rules change overtime and your actions affect future games and the conclusion and hhhhh oops sorry i'm really excited about this board game I recommend it!!

Is there any particular reason why you clean past midnight? Just wondering haha

I have to blast music while cleaning. And it has to be either rock/metal/screamo/emo. It's the only thing that will motivate me to clean.
@Luffer Nutter: I think @Ixora: had an entry for the coloring contest, if you haven't retrieved it yet

Also, YES sushi is so good
I went to a great all-you-can-eat sushi place with two of my friends and for the first round we ordered a total of 55 pieces of salmon nigiri. We saw the waiter walking over to our table with 3 giant plates of salmon and we're just like
yep
that us

Oh god, my friends and I aren't allowed to play Munchkin anymore HAHA it just turns into a sabotage fest at the end

Have you played Pandemic? It's one of my favorite co-op board games. My friends and I also enjoy playing Spirit Island recently

@Amber Lynne: I ended up drawing the freebie first, it was a good warm-up haha
I'll start on the other one today!

Also... how exactly do you do the blur layer for your colored pencil drawings? I might steal that trick for... future reference

@Apollo Im Burning: me and late replies whoops
Yeaahh I know what you mean. I'm the person that gets really bitter when the library isn't quiet oops

Oh man... too many... everywhere? haha tbh I haven't been to very many places in the states either. Someday I'd like to visit the east coast when the leaves change colors in the fall.
My friend recently went on a trip to Iceland and wooow the pictures are beautiful. I'd like to go someday and suffer in the cold
And a trip around Asia. I feel like that one is long overdue haha

Where are the locations that you want to visit for your research?
Ahh event's ending soon rip contest entries I don't think I'll make it in time
Rolling in the middle of the night bc I can't sleep sigh
