Happy 2010, everyone! It’s been a decade since the Y2K scare, isn’t that crazy? I remember 10 years ago, my family stocked up on food in case the end of the world was to happen I also intentionally left my computer on to see if the date would freak out. Luckily, neither of those happened. 2012, you’re next!

So, I missed doing a one-year blog anniversary post AND a Christmas post! Time flies when you’re having fun, haha. It’s never too late to give a one-year anniversary shout out to my blog. <3 I vow to myself to blog more often this year; I do have lots of things to write about in the next couple of weeks, especially with all of of the unopened DVD box sets, video games, and gunpla lying around the room. I’ll get to it, promise. I also want to try and finish up some art that’s been lying around, too (I know, I know; I keep telling myself this). I can’t find the sketch I did for Gordon a while back ^^;; So I need to draw it out again. I think it got thrown away in another stack of papers Humbug.

How was everyone’s Christmas and New Year’s? I hope everyone had a grand time!

The family ended up opening Christmas presents on Christmas afternoon. My parents and one of my sisters ended up falling asleep before midnight. No worries, though. My other sister and I ended up baking mini red velvet cupcakes! That was my first baking excursion After baking from scratch for the first time, it made me want to explore baking a bit more and gave me hope that I can really successfully bake. Usually, I tend to burn things. By the way, one of my acquisitions from Christmas was a pair of Gloomy Bear gloves! They’re very warm and make great puppets, too. I wonder if there are any bloody Gloomy Bear gloves…

Everybody scored really cool presents for Christmas, especially my dad. We got him Beatles Rock Band for the PS3 and a USB microphone so he can sing to his favorite Beatles hits. I bought my mom a Starbucks gift card so she can get her Mocha Frappuccino whenever she wants. I bought my sisters some shirts from Threadless when they had their Black Friday sale. And lastly, Lester got a shirt from 8Five2 (that was on clearance at Giant Robot) and DJ Hero for XBOX 360. If you haven’t tried out DJ Hero, do so NOW. It’s so fun!

As for my loot, you can see the Gloomy Bear gloves in the front. The cardigan is from Saltlick and the poo plush that has pockets is from Le Neko Noir, both obtained from the Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco. Mom bought me a Swatch watch from the Navy Exchange (= no tax, woo hoo!) and Dad bought all of us necklaces. I now have another package of Chapstick. I’m notorious for losing my Chapstick a lot Lastly there’s a cupcake luggage tag and a DIY Bub from Kidrobot. Awesome gifts ftw!

Here’s a picture of the mini red velvet cupcakes my sister and I made alongside the cream cheese frosting. I’m thinking of what other recipes to get into. Does anybody have any baking recipes that they’d like to share with me? I want to explore and dabble into the world of baking! Or at least attempt to, lol.

Also, what did you all do for New Year’s? I usually stay at home with the parents to welcome in the new year, then knock out shortly thereafter. Again, I kept my computer on to see if the date would freak out, and it didn’t! Here’s to the new year. I can’t believe it’s already 2010

I’d make a list of resolutions, but I like living in the now, so I’ll just tackle whatever comes my way. Bring it!
