Off-Topic / Re: (How) Do you celebrate Christmas?

Quote from: universe-X on December 19, 2010, 06:40:22 PMOh yeah, Christmas trees. We've been using the same one for the past 10 years. Same lights too. And decorations. Yep. Fake, of course.
Fake decorations? That sucks, we use bio-luminescent pine-cones.

We put up the tree a few days ago. It's fake; pine tress are so fragrant. :(

We usually have Christmas Eve at one place (this year it's our house), and then have Christmas Day at my grandparents'. As for presents, myself, parents, and little brother have our own little present-unwrapping happy-time in the morning of Christmas Day, and then the rest of the family does the same at my grandparents'.

All in all, it's exceptionally boring.

But I'm going to write handwritten Christmas letters to all my friends this year, so that'll be kind of meaningful. :P

I see it as a family and friends thing, barely religious at all.

Really? Last I checked it was just Kefka and I. Sorry.

Guess we have to wait for him to schedule events. :|

I own Alien Swarm, TF2 and L4D2.

Not my fault :V
It was a lament, rather than an accusation.

I've only read the ones I mentioned. :P

I honestly can't wait to read them though.

I preferred the Hobbit. It was paced so much-...at all. :P
Quote from: SuperFireKirby on December 17, 2010, 03:05:30 PMTolkien's writing abilities may have not been all that amzing, but his idea's were more than enough to compensate.
This also.

Quote from: Dude on December 16, 2010, 07:26:13 PMFixed. Copying it would just make two.
Cutting it leaves the canvas behind though. So you'll have a big randomly-coloured silhouette in the picture.

Photoshop, right?

Juber. I want to tell you from personal experience that things improve.

Oh God I'm so lonely. *Sheds tear*

I know year 10 doesn't matter; that doesn't mean I can't be disappointed about crap results. The four exams I cared about: Year 11 biology (83%), year 10 biology (87%), specialist maths (51%) -.--that's the most advanced, and I thought I got about a 70 after the exam, and finally, Chinese. (62%). Honestly though I got 80-90%. Not too unhappy about science, but it's not what I was expecting/hoping for.

Ah well.

Quote from: DekuTrombonist on December 16, 2010, 12:17:30 AMEnd of year school results are in. I got dux with a score of 99.6. Not bad, considering I did nothing  :P
O.o Congratulations. :D What subjects did you do?

Quote from: winterkid09 on December 16, 2010, 12:13:22 AMKefka, I don't have Photoshop.
Windows 7 paint might be able to do it.

Turned my top hat into a Christmas top hat. Wooh.

We got there half an hour before the openers started. The arena was...one quarter full, perhaps. Everyone was in about twenty minutes before Muse actually started. :P

Quote from: SuperFireKirby on December 15, 2010, 03:40:01 AMLucky. Muse is one of the few rock bands of this decade I actually enjoy.
Aside from the fact that their songs are totally bitchin', I like the fact they have a lot of variety; I loved The Resistance.

Oh it was fantastic. The...everything, was amazing.
