Yes, RyceBowl LIVES!! I'm not dead, don't worry; just being my usual procrastinating self, so I'm already know this whole holiday thing is way too late. I've been doing fine. A little stressed, but that'll be in detail farther down. But oh how I miss listening to myself type (man, I gotta practice) and I can wait to fill y'all in on the happenings of myself.

Now let's see, how many holidays did I fail to comment/draw pictures/tell what presents I got on? Ah yes--THREE.

Christmas was pretty good; I got some neat gifts, but I can't remember them all at once. One thing I wanna mention, though, is the alarm clock that I got. I'd desparately been needing one for the past few months because my original alarm clock had a tendency to change times on random, so it would never set the alarm at the right time and I would sleep in. Well, with this new alarm clock, it has 3 cool settings: 1) it has a night-light that will turn on really soft 30 min. before my alarm setting (while slowly growing brighter), 2) a natural sound setting that plays a variety of nature sounds 15 min. before my alarm, and 3) a natural fragrence of your choice that fills the room that also turns on 30 min. before my alarm.

However. This the light doesn't wake me up, the sounds are annoying as Hell, and the scents either don't work or smell really bad. And along with that, the minute the clock finally hits whatever alarm time I set it to, everything shuts off and a loud, high-pitched, screeching goes off that scares the sugar outta me. So, I'm kinda having mixed feelings about it.

New Years was pretty cool. Drank apple cider--LIQUIDOFTHEGODS--, watched "Poseidon", which is basically a bad rip-off of "Titantic", and said my resolutions. I won't repeat them here, but they were basically about getting off my lazy ass and doing something this year (I had about 3 or 4 of 'em).

And now the third holiday. MY B-DAY!!!!!11!11!11!!111111!!1one Yesh folks, I finally turned 15! Woo! Though, I had a rather small party. I just went to the mall with my mom, bought a few things, but I got a new haircut! Everyone says that I look really pretty with it, and for once I actually agree with them! I love it! I'll have to post a picture sometime.

I got a bunch of cool stuff for my birthday, but ya wanna know what the best gift of all was? I got an iPod. Yes, a real iPod, none of that "mini" or "nano" crap, but the original. So far I have 251 songs on it :3

I do miss my CD player, but it's nice to have an iPod.

So, that's about it. Just wanted to inform the public and my watchers just exactly what I've been up to for the past few weeks.

Sayonara!
