Currently Wizard's First Rule By Terry Goodkind see related

Hey, all! Happy New Year! I know it's been a while since my last post, but between finals and Christmas, things have been insane. Still all's well that ends well, right? I got straight As (yays!) and I only have one semester to go (thank God). As for Christmas, it was amazing. It was the first one I spent with Leo and I couldn't have imagined it being any better---though he did completely spoil me with presents!!! What a troublemaker.

Speaking of presents, one of the things he got me didn't come in on time, so he gave it to me yesterday.

You guys won't even be able to guess.

My brain goes numb just thinking about it.

ROY FREAKIN' DUPUIS. My acting idol. The man I have been obsessed with since before I started high school. The legend.

I still can't believe it.

But I digress (at least in my blog--in my mind, I'm still squealing like a small child). Back to yesterday. My parents wanted to have a small party with some of their friends. I invited Leo to come over and hang, and we all had a blast. We ate food, talked a lot about the military (we had four different generations of men from four different branches!), played games, drank champagne, and laughed hysterically. PS---Leo cheats at the card game Spoons. But that's only because he's terrible at it.

As for today, it's been pretty chill and a lot of fun. I hung out with Leo this morning, going to Mass and walking the mall. And then, after one of the best naps ever, I played video games with Richard and Stephen. I haven't played video games all night since I was like...twelve. But I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it! We played Ultimate Alliance and DC vs. Mortal Kombat. And let me tell you, I kicked some major ass. Oh, and both of them want to play again tomorrow!

I love Christmas break . ~Mel
