Woo! I'm home for the week! :D

I took a break from dA from Tuesday through Saturday and it was actually pretty nice. I came back to a boatload of really sweet, encouraging comments, so that was cool. :3 I'm still nervous about the charms I'm going to be selling though... I was really confident when I sent out the order, but now I'm like, "Hmm... I probably won't even sell one..." or "I'm not going to sell enough to earn back what I put into the project..." I hope it's just nerves. I still haven't decided on a price, either. Most people are selling similar items between $4.99-$5.99 + $2 shipping, so I was thinking $5.50 each. We'll see. :/

In other news, I did a little shopping, and I'm gifting myself some real APH One Coins for Christmas this year. XD

Yay! I ordered Austria back in July for a steal--$9!--and I just found a reasonably priced Hungary a couple minutes ago.

Plushy~!

My Austria plushy is finally here! Yay! He's so cute and soft! XD ♥ I was hoping he'd be a little bigger though, considering how much I paid for him, but I think I'll just lay off on the Hetalia merchandise for a while--so far, everything has been deceptively small and over-priced, but still very cute. (Also, Mariazell--his little flyaway piece of hair--got squished in the mail.) ;____;

I am updating today because I thought I should document something funny that happened just now. My dear friend Anna has wanted the Axis Powers Hetalia figurine set for a long time- for Christmas or her birthday- but her hopes were dashed when she didn't receive even one of the adorable Kotobukiya figures. As the official set of all 9 characters became rarer and rarer, the eBay prices skyrocketed to an average of $200. I'm sure we can all agree that this is ridiculous for 9 little pieces of plastic. (Even if it is disgustingly cute plastic.)

Some time early last week I said to myself, "Hey, self! You know what you should do? You should get her that set! That would be the best present ever, even if it is the bootleg!" So I stalked the best looking set on eBay and ended up paying only $17 for it. Cha-ching!

Meanwhile, in Facebook Land, I mentioned to Anna that I had something on its way to her dorm as a random present. She said, "IS IT AN ITALY FIGURE?! Just kidding. I happened to be looking at a listing for one when I got your message. XD" Upon reading this, I chortled to myself. Hohoho. If only she knew! Then I posted on her Wall, "I bet you just look at eBay listings for Italy all day, huh? XD" because I was totally being clever but it was okay because I set up my eBay purchase to deliver straight to her dorm.

She responded to that today, six hours ago. "OH HO HO. Actually, I bought the nine piece knock-off set last Sunday. They're in transit. XD"

"OH HO HO. Actually, I bought the nine piece knock-off set last Sunday. They're in transit. XD"

"OH HO HO. Actually, I bought the nine piece knock-off set last Sunday. They're in transit. XD"

I think the moral of this story is LOL. We are just so bad at presents. [See Scrabble Diamond Edition Incident, Christmas 2009*.] My head asplode. Now you'll have two! XD

* Scrabble Diamond Edition Incident, Christmas 2009 - Lori asked for a special edition of Scrabble, Anna bought her said edition but couldn't get it to her until January, and came to find that Lori's sister, Gale, had already bought it for here. XD <1>
TWICE THE ITALY. TWICE THE GERMANY. TWICE THE AWESOME. ♥ I do feel really bad now though. XD This is pretty much the nicest thing ever. And yes, we're still talking about those tiny hunks of plastic from this post. XD

So... I just got back from vacation and went online for the first time in a little over a week, only to find that someone was kind enough to give me the gift of music for a Christmas present. I just wanted to share this with everyone, because it's so beautiful! Someone I met recently on dA gifted a lovely piano rendition of "Together We Ride" and the Fire Emblem theme song to me, and I was practically moved to tears. XD Happy New Year, everyone! Please enjoy! You won't be disapointed!

By the way... I got Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on the 25th and have since been running around the house yelling "Objection!" at random things I'm dissatisfied with. XD My sister, Genevieve's puppy-barking, unpacking, etc.



Love,

Popo
