Feb. 14th, 2009 02:25 amAhhh it's been snowing like crazy, and it's still snowing! I think there are eight or nine inches of fluffy powdery snow now, and if it keeps up there could be a foot or more by morning. :O I am so tempted to go wander around in it aimlessly, but...it's 2:30 AM.
I took some pictures of the snow, but considering it's dark and the flash just lights up the snowflakes falling down, the pictures aren't so great so I won't bother posting them. If it's still this pretty in the morning I'll take better pictures, though!
I am torn between being happy because it's downright gorgeous, and sad because thanks to the snow I haven't been able to make it down to the Shaymin event and will almost certainly not be able to go at all because it ends tomorrow. :(Anyone up for cloning your Toys R Us Shaymin, or trading me an extra one that you obtained somehow? I really want one, s-sob. ;___; I already have Japanese Shaymin, but I have a thing for event Pokémon so I would really like to have one if possible. My dad just happened to have a work order in Roseville, so my brother is getting me one! :3
My laptop cord died on me yesterday and my computer utterly refused to charge at all. :( Thankfully my dad is a security camera technician and knows how to work with wires, otherwise my laptop would be out of commission right now. He literally rebuilt the head of the cord (where it connects to the computer) with a soldering iron and other random tools and now it's working again. Temporarily, perhaps, but it gives us enough time to get a new part.
I have an auction for a possible grail ending in the next four hours. I won't be up that long, but I'm going to triple-set my alarm clock to be sure I get up in time to put a bid in. It's funny what lengths I will go to even though I'm not sure it's actually what I'm hoping it is. XD Even if it isn't what I'm hoping it is, it's still a nice item so that would be okay, too.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Or whatever your preferred name of the holiday is, hahaha. I'm utterly indifferent to Valentine's Day, as someone who is single and not bitter or sad about it in the slightest. It's another excuse for candy, so whatever! XD
