OMG. (Buried Under Goodies)

[jedishampoo]

Holy heck, I have been spoiled so rotten on Christmas that I can still barely comprehend it all. :) My lovely roomie, sharpeslass, and I got up, opened some goodies, ate eggs Benedict (made by her), drank champagne, and opened more goodies. And opened. And I kept opening.

I got some of the most amazing stuff. One thing I must share with you all, especially: a while back, the lovely and supremely talented saltcandy drew a Hakkai/Sanzo (PG-13) fanart that she said was inspired by a story of mine. I was in transports, of course, not only because of that but because the picture was gorgeous! Here’s the finished art post on saltcandy's journal.

Well, the sweet sharpeslass got the originals, pencil and ink, from saltcandy (who kindly let them go), and framed them for me! I was absolutely amazed and nearly speechless and I still am, really. :) Below the cut, check out some pics of my schwag:



The lovely framed fanart that is still making me drool, as I post:



And sharpeslass made me one of her famous decoupage boxes, this one with a nummy 53 theme:

Box outside:



Box inside:



And here's a pic of some of my goodies. This doesn't even begin to cover it, I don't think. See, though, a lovely Tortoro blanket (softest thing I've ever felt, I think), a Saiyuki clock, makeup from Urban Decay (YAY), books, DVD, Saiyuki CDs, a "watashi heart yaoi" shirt, posters. Her mother HAND-MADE me a kimono from the most gorgeous green and gold silky material: I'll have to try it on and have a pic later. Oh, it just keeps going and going and it's all wonderful:



Oooh, and go check out sharpeslass's journal for pics of the AWESOME mahjong set that caeseria sent us, hee!



I am so, so spoiled and I don't deserve any of it. ::faints::

I was a vegetarian for a year. Was it just me or do you find every soy product tastes like overspiced...something? LOL

Tofurkey..sounds hilarious but tastes awful. Glad it wasn't just me! :)

It depends on the product! I've been vegetarian since January 2, 2000... and I've tried LOTS of stuff, LOL. The products I listed taste like their counterparts-- Melinda the super-carnivore will eat those, no problem. Oh, and veggie corndogs, but then hotdogs are pretty much mystery meat, anyway. :) Though sometimes I'll be like, "this is good and doesn't taste like soy" and Melinda will taste it and say, it's been too long since you ate meat... Heh. Even I'll admit that Tofurkey is completely unacceptable, though. And OMG-- I have a can of stuff called "TUNO." I've had it for six years. I'm afraid to open it, LOL!

(A lot of times, though, we just cook recipes from vegetables and grains and eggs and whatnot, and skip the fake meats.) :)

I do actually still eat a lot of veggie stuff, it's just a throw back to when I was a veggie full time. Tofu is fine, I actually don't mind it. I still have veggie vermichelli in the cupboard, made of beans and peas (how I'm not sure, but it tastes damn good...!)

TUNO sounds scary...LOL I have a packet of frozen veggie wieners in my freezer, I'm scared of that, but also scared to throw it away...!

I still can't go back to eating red meat though...ergh! *shivers* the most I'll do is pork if I have to. I tend to live on chicken and fish instead these days.

For a few years I ate no fish, then twice a year, and lately I've had more fish than that. SUSHI! ::feels guilty but they taste so good::

Ah, but it all depends on what kind of vegetarian you are! :) I used to eat only fish and no dairy, actually I still only do milkin my tea. Can't stand dairy otherwise, ergh. :)

Mmmm...kappamaki sushi..yummy!

My best friend won't eat anything with *quotes* "Lungs" LOL Still, she makes some amazing food, I will admit. Some of the vegetarian stuff is great!
