I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas! If you know me then you know that I’m not a religious person and identify myself as an Atheist/Agnostic. But I did have a Christian upbringing and attended private Catholic schools growing up, so I do say “Merry Christmas” and celebrate this religious holiday, with all that entails! As long as we’re all celebrating Peace on Earth, who cares if I’m the biggest hypocrite on it, right? *L*

I ordered both sets of Team Fortress 2 Christmas cards from the Valve Store and framed my favorites in a collage. I only intended to hang them during the holidays, but even after all our Christmas decorations have been packed away, I still have these on my wall. I just love them too much to take down and pack away for another year. They make me giggle whenever I look at them, whatever the season!

Thanks to everyone who sent me gifts, either IRL or on Steam. I will probably be spending 2010 playing all of them. *L* BTW, I don’t give gifts with an expectation of reciprocation. If you received a gift from me then don’t stress about returning the favor. I only wish I could have given out more during that crazy sale on Steam.

Poupee Girl is having its annual New Year’s event. This will mark two years of regular and continuous use of the site for me (one Snapshot every day) and quite frankly, I can’t believe it! I thought that I would have grown bored of playing with what amounts to vectorized kamikisekaeningyou (紙着せ替え人形) by now. But the cute doll clothing designs and the upload of real fashion items by other girls continues to keep me interested enough to login every day — even if it does make me feel a bit childish! =X

Poupee as a service has really grown and improved a lot since I first started using it two years ago. There is much more English language support, site navigation is easier, and there are more payment options for foreign users (who now outnumber the Japanese users that the site was originally directed towards). Poupee Girl is definitely making a lot of money from the Jewel system, if not all of its recent site advertisements and Dress Up item endorsements. I wish there was a way to invest in Pupe or Ameba.jp stocks, because they certainly would have outperformed my Sony and Toyota stocks this fiscal year! ww

Speaking of fashion, I got some cool stuff for Christmas that I plan to post in my next diary update, including some new Hunter wellies that I bought for myself and a wicked-looking Berserk necklace that I received from JoHny. I can’t wait to post the necklace — it is totally “JoHny style” cool and I love, love, LOVE Berserk!!

Those Christmas cards are neat. I can’t think of what else I would do with them other than frame them. I don’t think I could send them to more than maybe five people who would actually understand them.

As far as the gifts go. I think it’s hard to resist returning the favor for someone like you who gives without a second thought. I really appreciated getting something from you. Those games brought back a lot of memories. I used to play Jedi Outcast probably as much as you play TeamFortress 2 now. There aren’t too many servers for it, and most of them have silly restrictions geared toward people who only want to do one, in my opinion rather boring, thing in the game. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Jedi Academy had far more servers, and many with people actually willing to play the game rather than just, pardon the phrase, “dick around.” I was even more surprised to see I wasn’t getting my ass handed to me considering how long it had been since I played Outcast and seeing as how they changed so much in Academy compared to Outcast. But I guess I’m getting carried away with this. Needless to say I don’t think you could have picked a better gift, and I really appreciate it.

I just noticed your picture for Call of Duty. Don’t feel bad, you’re not the only one having trouble. Lately I feel as if I’ve got a bull’s eye painted on every facing of my character, and that the other team is hell bent on traveling in such a way that someone in front of me shows up and causes just enough of a distraction that I don’t notice the guy putting a bullet into the side of my head. It feels a bit how I imagine the “hunter guy” in Jurassic Park felt when he got ambushed by the raptors near the end of the movie and he had just enough time left to say “clever girl…” before getting eaten. Nom nom nom… /sigh

Haha, those TF2 Christmas cards are hilarious! I think my favorite one is the Medic carving the Christmas turkey with his Bonesaw. I like the one of the Pyro opening the present and the Solider with the snowman, too! XD


I love those cards, they look really fun!
While poupeegirl is still really addictive…you’re right about the “motivators” but I’m not sure I’m into it as much as I used to. I still see a lot of their style in stores and stuff and it makes me laugh, but I think that’s about it…


btw that pic of you on twitpic
your hair looks AMAZING!!!! <3 <3
i seriously wish my hair looked HALF as good as yours does!
