Halloween begins on Gaia

My friend Justin:  "more like a breaking up pendant"

-----------------------------------

So.  Waking up this morning to a sore, slightly swollen, and stiff body in decidedly unpleasant weather conditions was admittedly not a very fun thing to do.  Lucky for me, though, things unexpectedly went in a thankfully upwards direction for the rest of the day, starting with a simple text of just 2 words [and 2 symbols].  =^w^=

Next mood boosters came when I checked the mail.  A package from China, and a letter from Minnesota from an address that I wasn't familiar with (which turned out to be a letter written by 2 of my favorite Minnesotans  <33).  And the package?  Yep.  My measuring spoons finally decided that its vacation was finally over and went back to its original task of being delivered.  Yay.

Right off the bat, I noticed a few.... interesting things about my measuring spoons.

1.  Although clearly measuring spoons, its packaging label mysteriously reads SPATULA.

2.  On the upper right-hand corner of the packaging, Korean characters are seen, yet the sticker label says, "Made in China."

3.  Increments:  1 ml, 5 ml, 15 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml.

....okay.  Nothing super strange about #2, I guess, but I don't feel very apt to trust any information on a package of measuring spoons that's prominently labeled "SPATULA."  #justsaying
(To anyone who is wondering, I have non-food intents for these measuring spoons.  xD  )

GAIA

kitaaaa~!! My mood soared to even higher levels when I logged on Gaia and soon found out that the 2011 Halloween event had started!  I started off by doing a much-anticipated round of Trick or Treating at the shops.  I must say, I really enjoyed seeing all the NPC's costumes this year!  I couldn't wait for that minute or so before clicking the next shop in line and seeing what the next NPCs were dressed up as.  Here are some of my favorites:

  

Notice the first picture?  It's TETSUKO from Gintama.  --> "This is why I love you, Gaia" moment

Radio Jack Kyuubei is pretty kick @$$ too.  Kanako makes a shockingly good Yui. 
Wow.  BRS?... a tan BRS with blue hair and sizable chest?... and I can't believe how mainstream it got.

Agatha as Professor McGonagall?  -->"This is why I love you, Gaia" moment redux

Edmund makes a pretty damn cool Assassin.  o.o

FACEBOOK

Facebook has been getting creepier.  Seriously.  Stop being such a creeper.  :|                                                                                                         

          

Exhibit A:  "Alejandrina and 5 other friends posted                      Exhibit B: ...Just what kind of "interesting"

about Halloween."                                                                             updates?...  = x = ;;

TUMBLR

Today, I was introduced to Memebon by her self-proclaimed #1 fan, and after scrolling through all 13 heart-melting pages of her awesome Memebon tumblr, I now have my own picture folder dedicated solely to those photos.  I'll also be randomly revisiting it to look through all the Memebon cuteness after what may be considered to be short intervals of time.  @ A @;

TIBIA

No Tibia today. I did, however, finally get to talk to my friend about it... and found out that I pretty much chose the wrong hometown, all the way on the other side of the continent from where he is.  orz  Sorry...

But it looks like my first adventure on the mainland continent sure is going to be a big one!  (to be cont.)

ANIMAL CROSSING

Also!  Talking today with aforementioned friend on Skype chat, we decided that we NEEDED to play Animal Crossing together.  After settling on Animal Crossing: Wild World, my first thought was that every free square inch of my town must be covered in weeds.  And later, it occurred to me that my house must be absolutely FILLED with those gross cockroaches...  Well, time to start weeding and exterminating!  Even though I had played AC: WW religiously for almost 3-4 years after purchasing it, it's been at least a year or two since I've turned it on... I hope that all my favorite neighbors haven't moved out!  *animal crossing blubbing animation*
