Happy Xmas to everyone who celebrates that sort of thing, and a Happy Day anyway, if you don't.
~*~
I had a good day yesterday, although I knew what most of my presents were because mum totally failed on sending me out of the room when the parcels arrived originally. There were some surprises and a couple of things I'd forgotten about, so that was cool.
Then today, my bro and sister in law and nephew came to visit, so there were more presents (bro and sister in law were totally overwhelmed by how much mum had bought for them). I think my best present was my nephew falling asleep on my shoulder, to be honest. He hadn't been grumping, but I was rocking him gently and...he just conked out. It was adorable.
(Yes, an even better present than ME3. There. I said it. But I'll blah about that in a little while).
I also promised my sister in law that I would help her with knitting, which is bananas, since I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'm not really sure I can help that much. However, it will be nice to have someone to knit with (I'm going to suggest visiting once a week where possible, if she's up for it).

I've got to get up early for a blood test tomorrow morning. I do not intend to go to bed early, so this will be vaguely hilarious.
As long as I don't sneeze when the nurse puts the needle in my arm, all will be well.

So, Mass Effect 3!
I've played around six hours (would be more, but family commitments + cold mean, ugh). So far I have visited Menae and rescued Primarch Victus, and been to Grissom Academy and rescued Jack and her students :D
I have just landed on Sur'Kesh to get back the krogan females (WREX IS HERE! ♥)
Oh, but the salarian dalatrass is a tool. And so is Udina.
I like my new teammates. Samantha Traynor is a dork, and she pings me in the same way that Kaidan did, once upon a time. I also like James Vega more than I thought I would (I mean, his model still annoys me, but eh, I can live with that. I thought I would absolutely hate him, but I really don't). Also flirting with him is hella amusing me (also I know it leads absolutely nowhere anyway). And I like Steve Cortez and his lovely blue eyes. I may be shipping him and Vega as we speak.
Yup.
All about the important things in this game!
Like going to visit my space boyfriend in hospital after his beating by that robot (or whatever the hell she was). I didn't know that was coming, and I'm glad I didn't. I literally stopped breathing until they said he was still alive. Talk about being too attached to NPCs in games...
I was distressed to see Reapers everywhere (although having to force myself to not stop and stare at them, loping along in the distance, and going "Oooh". Because they are actually terrifying and not the matter in hand at the moment). Hated seeing Palaven in flames (and that close to, but y'know, we were on the planet's moon, what did I expect??)
Think that's all I've got to say for now. Kind of missing playing Awakenings (double wut), but never mind. I'll get back to it at some point (presumably when I am devastated with the way ME3 ends?)
