A couple of things. :3
Dec. 5th, 2010 01:26 pmFirst of all, I have a serious problem. Remember how I order an APH Hungary One-Coin figure last week to go with the Austria figure I pre-ordered in June? Well. Now I'm getting HRE and Chibitalia as well. XD
I have spent so much money on these little bastards. XD But they're so cute! I can't help it! And I know that I can sell each figure back for a reasonable price when I'm done with them, so really, considering that I only paid about $8-9 for each, I made out quite well. I consider them investments! (Not that I'll ever sell them.) XD
All I need is Prussia and I'll be happy, but he's the most popular figure of the set, most likely because he comes with Gilbird and because he's AWESOME. I actually think I was pretty lucky to get my hands on HRE + Chibitalia for the price I paid. (I got both of them as a set for $16!) I totally swopped in and stole them from this girl who was interested. Oops. XD Honestly, I should have just paid the $60 or $70 it cost to pre-order the entire set, and then I could have saved money by simply selling off the ones I didn't want. TOO LATE. XD
Anyways, when they show up in the mail, look out. I'm going to take like, a million pictures. XD ♥
Related to the subject of giving gifts to myself, I really like these postcards, but they're way too expensive, and I really don't need them. I don't write letters as much as I used to. They're a (bad) impulse buy waiting to happen, but I thought I'd share them in case you guys out there can think of a literature snob in your life who might like them. XD
As for school, finals are here, but I'm doing well. Does anyone remember that class I was upset about a few months ago because I failed a test? Well, on my second to last test, I got a 90%, and on my final test, I got a 100% Wooo! And now it's done, and I don't have to worry about it. XD I have a final oral presentation in one of my German classes tomorrow, and I'm actually a little... I don't know, torn about it? We get to pick our own topics this time, so immediately I though, "Ah! The Virginia Jetzt! farewell tour!" but, I think that wound still needs a little more time to heal. I found a great article, but it was also really sad. D:
Loose translation is loose. XD But yeah, anyways. Talking about this sort of thing would be hard to do in front of my class, so I'm going to find something neutral and boring and bland that I don't care about, get my 'A', and get out. XD
OH. ONE MORE THING. SO MUCH SNOW YESTERDAY. ♥

Und um zu demonstrieren, wie eng es auf einer Tourbusrückbank werden kann, hüpft er plötzlich ein ganzes Stück nach links auf dem grünen Sofa, direkt an seinen Sänger dran. Und der legt ihm gleich seinen Kopf auf die Schulter, und man ahnt, dass sich dieser Kopf und diese Schulter über Jahre sehr vertraut geworden sind.
And to demonstrate how close it can be on a tour bus, he suddenly hops quite a bit towards the left on the green sofa, and turns towards his singers. And he lays his head on a shoulder, and one guesses that this head and these shoulders over the years have become very familiar.
