Went Christmas shopping and then wrapped some presents. The land was really crowded but we managed to buy a buncha stuff. Also I lent my cell phone to a distressed lady who locked her grandson inside her car.

Been making a news Sims 2 neighborhood, using people from real life and from shows and movies and manga. Should get interesting.

And since I awoke from a stomachache really early yesterday, I am on a sleep schedule for poo.

Today was so cold I had to drag my big winter coat out of the closet. Sigh ... it's that season again.

Then I began to paint a drawing I made. It SUCKED and I was mortified that I had ruined it. thankfully, I had scanned the original already and so I made a digital painting of it instead, which went significantly better.

Also, today I was called a hero for artists. I felt pretty good.

So today Scott comes over, and then Amber does too. We're all hungry so Scott and I go to the store to buy gryo stuff.
When we come back, one of my neighbors was crouching by the apartment door, poking at a crack in the sidewalk. She explains that she's lost her apartment key down the crack and can't get it out. So me and Scott try to help out and for a half hour we fish around in the concrete crevice. We had no luck, despite using a variety of tools to extract the key.
So we let her in to use my phone to call up apartment maintenance. And in the meantime, I must overcome my crippling social phobia and make some small talk until the key people arrive.

(In the meantime, my parents have come to whisk Briana away from her 3-night stay. It's weirdly lonesome in the house now. I had been used to having her here.)
Later, I'm talking to Amberose on instant messenger and she has a phone now, so she decided to call me up. It was weird. I haven't chatted on the phone in months, or maybe it's even been like a year.

On a side note, Amber brought me a new Sims expansion pack! Huzzah!

That's all.

I have now been abandoned by my man for the weekend. So I'm all alone.

Recent activities: Went to the pet store and bought some fluffy gerbil bedding.
-Vacuumed the house and was nearly destroyed by a gigantical static charge emanating from my vacuum cleaner *weeps*
-Spent night at siblings. Dreamed about purchasing a horse to get around town and then realizing I had no place to park it.
-Got new Sims expansion pack and some Fruits Baskets from Amber.
-Picked queen-anne's-lace at the park with Amber and put it in a new vase Adam bought me.
-Then some neighbors came over and asked for some sugar for their baking project. I complied happily.

That's all.
