I Wonder How Long This Will Take To Load...
Most of this had to be prewritten because things get lost ever so easily on this d-land server...anyway: I'm only gonna leave this up for a little while because the pictures are a big drain on space in my photobucket account and because I'm kind of possessive about my pictures, heh.

Right, so you had this coming, didn't you? Well, I can at least say that it should be somewhat interesting because, as I have found lately: My life is pretty different from most people's (possibly due to the fact that I enjoy mine).

Anyway: Our story begins late one Halloween evening. I had invited a bunch of people to a costume party because that's what I usually do on Halloween. It was a lot of fun <--you'll have to imagine your own enthusiasm because I just got through reading a cynical column, and because I left school early on account of excruciating pain, a story I will tell later.)
Kouji and I had been planning to do something themed, as though we weren't busy enough already ^_^ Naw, seriously, it was a great idea: We went as the male and female forms of Ranma, from Ranma 1/2. Yes, I know our hair colors are quite off (I couldn't find any good wigs for under 80$) and that we probably look really nerdy: but we had fun, and I thought we did a pretty good job, considering that we arranged the party and the costumes in about a half-a-week's worth of time, without seeing each other any at all.

This is a pose from one of the promotional pictures from the series. I'm the female Ranma. Kouji is the male one. For those of you who might be confused.

Fast forward a month to Thanksgiving, a time of...well you've already read that entry. From this picture, you can see that Kouji and I aren't connected at the hip (as we are fabled to be) because if we were, I wouldn't be able to sit on him like I am shown here. Heh heh heh. That seemingly-autistic, blinking chick beside me is my mother, famous for nagging and sneezing loudly. I honestly don't know who that other woman is or why she was sitting there. (Picture coming soon)

Eventually Christmas rolled around. If you'll remember, my infuriating relatives came to my house, as usual, and I ignored, snubbed, and evicted them as I usually do. Kouji also came over to participate in the gift exchange, and, subsequently, the evicting, which is always part of the celebration around here. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of that. I did, however, get a shot of him assembling one of his famous Marshmallow PVC Guns, as you can see here:

If you look closely in the background of some of these pictures, you'll find that my nausiating grandmother places her likeness periodically throughout our house to remind us of her suffocating influence, much in the styles of Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler.

We weren't gonna have any of that at New Year's though, despite the fact that she had plans to rain on our parade. Instead, Kouji and I went with HIS family out into the boonies to entertain ourselves in a wholesome, and innocuous manner. Here is Kouji as he was packing for the trip. You can already tell that he's not quite typical, judging from his depraved, frantic appearence, and from the presence of the remote-control UFO on the bed behind him. But I don't see how you can appreciate a guy unless he's got glowing red eyes. ^_^

Unbeknownst to my parents, we did not spend our entire holiday doing safe, conservative things. As you can see, there were a few casualties:

Yes, there were excessive amounts of dangerous fun. In fact, the first day we went four-wheeling. I'm not going to show you that picture though because I think it makes my butt look weird. Instead here's one of Kouji taking his gun apart and putting it back together, as he sometimes does.

Check out that huge pile of explosives on the table behind them. I think the Black Cat logo looks like Chanel's cat, Velcro. I felt a little strange putting nothing but picture of Kouji on here. I did ask his permission and he doesn't seem to mind, and I didn't really take any picture of myself doing anything worthwhile, and he looks better anyway ^_^ But just to offset the thus-far Kouji-exclusiveness, here's a strange picture of me with Velcro:

Velcro is the pair of yellow eyes staring out from the darkness of my shirt. In my mouth I am wearing a pair of vampire fangs made of foil. The sharks are part of Chanel's showercurtain, which makes me laugh but has nothing to do with New Years...

So anyway: New Year's Eve finally came around and so did midnight, so before the ball could drop in Time Square, Kouji curled up and went to sleep *chuckles*...

This makes me laugh, probably because my mother has drilled into me a buttload of pointless traditions relating to every holiday. Frankly, I don't care about gravity's effect on a gigantic sphere either, but I like to stay up late. For Kouji-tenshi, the tradition is over as soon as all the fireworks have been blown off in close proximity to someones face (namely, his own). After that it's bed time. Which brings me to another sort-of-irrelevant subject:
People sleep right? I know I do, probably more than I used to. But you never really understand, until you've stayed under the same roof with someone night and day, how much people sleep. I guess I couldn't help but notice how often I either watched Kouji sleeping or found myself flashing him in the face with my camera while he tried to do so :p Not that I'm complaining. The shots are priceless ^_^

After the New Year's shebang was over and done with, we spent most of our time like this:

Playing Donkey Conga in our PJs. I'm not sure if this picture depicts the PJs aspect of it all, but I know we did at one point at least and that I felt delightfully lazy.

*goes through archives* Let's see if I can find somemore stuff to take up badwidth--er, I mean, help you comprehend my vacation...I think that's about all we did--That I photographed anyway. The next holiday is Valentine's. Hopefully you read that entry also which is good because I'm kind of tired right now, and I don't know how successfully I'll be able to convey the warm, fuzzy feelings of Valentine's Day...

I do, however have a picture of me: Kouji isn't there because I think he took the picture. I can't remember, which sucks, but we went out to dinner with a group of people, and I just didn't get a picture of that. I know this is sounding like an exciting and happy time: I'm going on about it with this dry tone of text and my entry contained a picture of a leopard eating an impala. But hopefully from the look on my face in the picture, you can tell that I enjoyed myself, if that matters to you.

*snickers* The hat (I collect hats) is one Kouji bought for me at this thing called Team Impact at my church where huge guys break things and set stuff on fire (No, we do not do anything normal. Maybe now you understand why I don't really refer to anything I do as 'dating' ^_^). The tiger, Shiro, was my special present that Kouji gave me the day we went to Yoga together ^_^ I think I took Shiro with me to school everyday that week, partially just so I could show piccies of Kouji off to all the people who asked me where Shiro came from ^_^

And I suppose that's the end of the piccie parade. I hope you're happy...^_^
