My mom sent me to buy my own Christmas presents. Yeah, the ones she's giving me. I'm all up for it, actually, 'cause it means I get stuff I actually want, and she doesn't have to struggle in the comic store like the lady I saw today asking 'for this comic named... man-ga. You have it?' and after a silence the cashier said something like 'lady, all of those bookcases behind you? They're all manga.' lol, it was funny although I felt bad for the poor lady, not knowing whatever the hell her kid wanted. XD
Anyway, so I got:
Pride and Prejudice
Wuthering Heights
Y: The Last Man - vol.8, Kimono Dragons
Fables - vol.8 Wolves
The Sandman - Endless Nights.
HELL YEAH. Gandhi, my favorite bookstore, is getting a much better English language selection, although it's still mostly classics, woe. (but it has a wonderful collection of latinamerican authors, so I'll forgive it). I've read all of those comics, and have them on my hard drive, but they're all INCREDIBLE and worth every penny. AND NOW MY SANDMAN COLLECTION IS COMPLETE. ZOMG IT'S SO AWESOME. I have all ten volumes and The Dream Hunters and now Endless Nights and eeeh, how exciting. :)
And if anyone says 'oh, but you don't have any of the Lucifer or Death books!' I'll have to smack them. I've already spent about 250 dlls in all of it. ;___;
And I'm not such a bad daughter, promise. I got half of it as a present to myself, but apparently my parents are buying Guitar Hero or something like it to my brother so they said it was okay and they'd pay for everything. WELL ALL RIGHT. ME LIKES. I'm also getting S2 of Supernatural because my mom can't wait to see it, lol. I ♥ my fangirly mom. :)
And speaking of Christmas. (Or Holidays, or whatever. Everyone's Catholic around here so I'm way too used to saying it like that; sorry, non-Christians in my flist). It must be a bit obvious by now, but I'm not sending any card this year. I really wanted to, because I had a lot of fun with them last year, but I just didn't have any time to actually sit and paint everything, and all of my final projects always leave me a bit broke. ;___; So. SORRY. I will try and send more next year. :)

It looks so very pretty on the shelves. *besotted sigh* YOU HAVE A SIGNED COPY SO YOU WIN, THOUGH.

You know, one of my friends wanted to borrow my signed Sandman and I was like, Um, no? I was like, I know it's mean but, I am afraid of what will happen to it. So I just lent him the other ones. But still, to have the whole collection is fun!!

Is P&P really as romantic as the movie makes it out to be? Because I was under the impression Emma was a romance as well, but so far... not so much on that department, lol.
lol, I can just imagine your 'OMG SACRILEGY' face at the mere suggestion, haha. XD I'd be just as paranoic in your place, though.
