You read the title right. I did Christmas shopping on Thanksgiving.
I got up before the sun to go to Big Lots to get my mom her Christmas present.
It was quite the adventure! We went to one Big Lots and I asked a sales person but they only had 4 of that item! The sales lady was nice enough to call a couple other Big Lots to see if they still had the item. We found one and so my dad and I drove fast to the other store. I jumped out of the truck and ran into the store while my dad parked the truck.
When I got in the store I found the item and snatched one up. They had plenty so it wasn't like they were running out or I had to fight for one lol. Though that may have been fun. My dad and I wondered the store for a bit then we paid for it.
My mom was wondering where we went this morning, Ha Ha, it was great.
I got the present wrapped already! I am just that fast!
Well I only have a lot more Christmas things to do before Christmas so I better get stated on them!
Also a great tip for surviving Black Friday is to go Saturday.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Failing at Nano
Life has gotten in my way once again!
BAW
I am about 10,000 words behind where I should be today and I have no plans on catching up. I want to but I have too much to do with Christmas right around the corner.
I like my novel I just don't have the time.

NaNoWriMo
So I am half way through nano with 25,126 words! But I still have a long way to go!
Here is an idea of what my story is about:
Here is an idea of what my story is about:
A collector of myths meets his match in a battle to see who is better evil or good. World domination is also on the list. Many fantastic creatures, betrayal and maybe some love.
Lessons will be learned and heads will roll.
Michael a collector of myths learns of the ultimate prize. Having already caught an angel he sets forth to a tiny town in the middle of the British forest.
My novel idea came from a shot story I wrote back in 2004. In that story Michael had managed to capture and Angel. Sadly his friend Brad let the Angle go. The never stopped Michael from doing more research on myths! Little did he know was he was getting himself into!
My novel is going well. It has pretty much written itself, so long as I don't let myself be distracted by a certain Russia/America fanfic...sigh~
Anyway...
The myth characters are based off some of Soom's dolls. The look is the only think I took. the personalities are all from me. Michael was already kinda there and I created a few other human characters. Arthur Kirkland, yes I know what your thinking and well no its the same Arthur Kirkland. I had the name Arthur and he needed a last name and the first thing that popped into my mind was Kirland and when my brain refused to think of another name it just stuck! My Arthur is nothing like Hetalia's Arthur lol. I also created Emily, she is a bit of a love interest but is mostly there as the voice of reason for Michael. Brad makes a small appearance in the beginning of the story. I am debating on weather or not to have him come in later or not.
And well because most stories I write for me to enjoy Arthur and Alfred form Hetalia as well as Alfred and Ivan make an appearance. But still me gave Ivan more than just a background roll. He ends up pointing Michael in the right direction. Ha Ha. I guess this goes without saying that I can't get this one published but I will go back after the month is over and share the story with you all!
Well I am off to write more words...I'm still a long way off from 50,000!
OK so I clearly been absent for nearly two months.
Sorry!
I have had a lot going on, from Hetalia meet ups to trips to see my Best Friend in Cali to just plain being busy!
I am going to do a daily post here as well as a weekly photo post!
Be prepared to see lots of crazy pics and some not so crazy pics!

OC Meme~
I totally took this from someone I watch on Deviant Art. Well here are some of my OC, I hope you enjoy them!
Rules:
~ If you don't have at least 8 OCs I wouldn't recommend this meme
~ Add on questions to this meme! It will make it bigger!
~ Enjoy!
1) First list all your OCs by first name so we can see your list of all your wonderful OCs:
1) The Winged One aka TWO
2) Nine
3) Starr
4) Deamon
5) Katana
6) Gerrick
7) Dietrich
8) Orion
9) Lilith
10) Akakaze
11) Crow
12) Genzic
13) Michael
14) Michelle
15) Mao Hei Evangeline
2) Who is your favorite OC?
TWO
3) Who is your least favorite?
Michael and Michelle, but then they are the OCs to hate on.
4) Who is your most developed?
Starr and TWO. They are the ones I use the most.
5) Which OC would you want to date if they magically came to life?
Hmm, it would probably have to be either Genzic or Dietrich.
6) How many girl OCs do you have? Boy OCs? It OCs?
8 girls, 7 boys
7) If you were stuck in a burning building what do you think the third OC on your list would do?
She would probably call 911 then call and tell everyone that I was in a burning all the while worrying about smoke getting on her nice dress. (wow she sound more shallow than she is.)
8) Name one thing you regret about one of your OCs.
Probably the tragedy of Moe Hei. She lost her Master in a freak accident and went down a dark path towards the dark side until Yoda saved her. She is very messed up in the brain.
9) Which of your OCs do you think would make the best father/mother/it parent out of all your OCs and why??
The would have to Lilith. She is such the motherly type. She is often taking care of her sister Orion or her master Dietrich.
10) Which of your OCs do you think will most likely be put in jail?
Well Michael. He has the tendency to hit on anything that moves and he will get what he wants one way or another.
11) The eighth of your OCs was put into the future! What will their job be?!?
In the future Orion would be a body guard and rich because she would be damn good at it!
12) Name the first OCs catch phrase!
Where's my camera! Ha Ha she like to take pictures...of for possible black mail purposes.
13) Do all your OCs live together or are they separated?
Long answer is looong
Well TWO lives on and off with Clueless (My friend's OC) but she usually lives alone.
Nine lives with her Aunt but is more often than not shoved onto TWO who has to babysit her.
Starr and Deamon live together. Them being brother and sister they are the only ones they trust and its just easier that way. (FYI there is NO incest!)
Katana lives the one who owns her, but she often escapes and tires to live alone. She also often unwillingly stays with Gerrick. Gerrick is secretly in love with Katana but they are always at each others throats.
Deitrich lives alone with the exception of himself (He is a multiple personality vampire) and his two wolves Orion and Lilith.
Kakakaze lives alone
Crow lives in a house his parents left, with his friend Samantha.
Genzic lives with his master. He'll tell you they have a strictly platonic relationship, his master thinks other wise.
Michael and Michelle are brother and sister and do not live together, though they are often at each others condo plotting....something.
Mao Hei lives alone.
All of my OCs live in the same world on the same plane in the same time period. Deitrich is sometimes in a different time period. Genzic, his master, Katana and Gerrick exist in a different time period and Mao Hei lives in the Star Wars universe.
14) Are there any pairings that are in your OC list? (they can't be with someone else's)
No, lol maybe Michael....depending on the story and situation. Katana and Gerrick are not a couple as much as Gerrick wants it to be true.
15) Your seventh OC switched bodies with you for a day! How will they react at the end of the day?
um....yeah I think I would give him another personality to occupy his body and thus kill me.
16) Your last OC just became a fifteen year old. What do they do?
Bad Bad things. She will have just lost her master and was trying to cope.
17) Now randomly select a person on your OC list. Who was it?
Katana
18) That OC you just chose? Yeah they think they are superman (even if they are a girl) and are on the roof about to jump off.
She would have everyone telling her to not jump and come to them.
19) Are any of your OCs bored of this meme?
Yes, except maybe Mao Hei who is interested in anything.
20) Would your second OC prefer the beach or the mountains?
Beach. Nine does not do well among tree...or so she says. She blames her wings.
21) Would your 5th OC battle a shark?
Yes and probably win, making Gerrick like her more.
22) Which OCs hate each other?
Well Katana hates Gerrick, he's an ass always hitting on her.
Deitrich hates himself sometimes...if that counts.
23) Which OC did you create first? And last?
Starr was my first OC and Genzic would be my most recent.
24) is the super secret question.
25) And if those two were fighting, who would win?
The only reason I could see them fighting is if Starr really and I mean REALLY pissed Genzic off.
26) Are your OCs fat or skinny?
Most are fit. Crow is a bit chubby but that's because he spends most of this time playing video games.
Mao Hei is not fit but she is not chubby either.
TWO fluctuates...she needs to lay of the pie and Clueless' beer.
27) What are your first 2 OC's favorite foods?
TWO will eat anything, her favorite would probably have to be asian food as she eats more of that than anything else.
Nine only eats organic and she prefers oranges. (She is quite the odd little 9 year old)
28) If your listed OCs were in a fight to the death, who would emerge victorious?
It would boil down to Katana, Gerrick and Orion. Orion would probably kill Gerrick because Katana and Gerrick would only be fighting each other and Orion likes to fight girls.
29) There's a zombie attack and your OCs are stranded. Who do they elect to be their leader?
Michael would assume the role himself and everyone else would probably elect Gerrick.
30) During said zombie attack, who's the first to die?
Nine, sorry kiddo.
31) Which one of these OCs do you think would have the most fangirls/boys?
Gerrick would have the most as he is very good looking, followed by Dietrich as he is a vampire; then maybe Genzic its his baby face and elf ears.
32) Okay, so does OC number four have any last thoughts?
He does but we ain't finding out.
33) If possible, what's your characters' height?
uuuhhmmmm...I'm sure they have a height..I just never thought of it. Nine would obviouse be the shortest (even grown up) Gerrick is the tallest followed by Katana who is a few inches shorter. Genzic's master is taller than him. Orion is an inch and a half taller than Orion. Michael and Michelle are the same height. Deamon is 5 inches taller than Starr and an inch shorter than Katana. Starr and TWO are the same height. Dietirch and Akakaze are the same height and two inches taller than TWO and Starr. Crow is the same height as Michael and Michelle. Mao Hei is half an inch shorter than Katana. Confused? I am.
34) Can your characters dance?
Lilith and Michelle know how to ballroom dance. Starr and Deamon can dance to hip hop and not get laughed at. TWO likes to think she can dance. Mao Hei knows a tradtional dance from Tatooine. The others can't dance to save their lives lol.
Cliche characters are cliche but I <3 them non the less!
