[Poll #1201185]


And here's your explanation, oh wonderful flist.

I have come into the possession of a $65 Visa giftcard, to use for whatever I want. It is a delivery refund from Lowe's when we got our new washing machine (the old one died in a horribly messy fashion). My mom apparently doesn't want to use it for anything, so she gave it to me. Unfortunately the giftcard expires in September (wtf such a short time), so I have to use it up before then.

I also happen to have a $25 giftcard to Target, which was a birthday present from my cousin. I was planning on using it to buy Guitar Hero: On Tour for my DS, since the $25 would pretty much cut the price of the game in half. See, because I want Guitar Hero, but not enough to pay a full $49.95 for it. >__>;;

I originally thought I'd used the $65 card on clothes, since my wardrobe is kinda of lacking these days. x__X;; But I could totally buy a bunch of other things that I haven't been able to buy for months and months because I have no monies (zomg manga). Or I can buy a little of this and a little of that. @__@

TELL ME WHAT TO DO, FLIST.


EDIT...

I also have a $5 gift certificate for Amazon. >_>;; I just realized that I could finally get Chain of Memories and the guidebook, with free shipping, for a bit over $20. *gnaws things*

Sora: And my baby is welcome here whenever he wants. I still don't see why you have to move out, Rikka. You and Kira have the top floor almost completely to yourselves, and you know you have free reign within reason in this house. And not to mention the 3,000 munny it would save. >__>;;;

Rikka: *fights over those rolls! he claimed them!* I am not too lazy! And Mom, you see what I have to deal with.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Ri: *it was JUST ONE, he raps the back of his butter knife across Rikka's fingers quickly, then retreats with his prize* Sora, we all moved out once we could. Just be happy that Rikka's not rushing for a fraternity like I did.

Sanyu: *slurping up his noodles* Haha! If Rikka doesn't like us how is he supposed to deal with all the people at college? He'll go crazy!

[luscious-sarah.livejournal.com]

Sora: *smirks at Sanyu, nodding, and is just going to ignore Ri now*

Rikka: *will knife-spar with you for his special rolls old man, and dips his roll in spaghetti sauce* Frats are for losers.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Ri: *oh, it's on now, and he duels Rikka from across the table with one hand, eating with the other* Are you calling your Daddy a loser, baby bear? Maybe then baby bear should get a job like Papa and Mama and Daddy did when they moved out and went to college~

[luscious-sarah.livejournal.com]

Sora: *okay, he's so not in the mood for this, and slams his fork down, standing up*

THAT'S ENOUGH. If it's not Rikka vs. Kira, it's Dad vs. Rikka, or Sanyu and Satu vs. Kira and I. HAVE. HAD. IT. I'm going to take my shower, and you all are going to finish your dinner and get along.

*and leaves to go to the bathroom to do so*

Rikka: o__o *just kind of... stares, and puts his roll back in the basket*

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Ri: o___o *actually dropped his utensils in surprise, and stares after Sora's back like Riku does*

Satu&Sanyu: o___o *froze in the middle of eating, their cheeks puffed outwith food*

Kira: o___o *was helping Baby with her spaghetti*

Baby: .................. Mama is cranky.

[luscious-sarah.livejournal.com]

Rikka: *mumbles a little and tosses his napkin onto the table* No kidding. 's all Dad's fault. *stands up* Well, I'm not hungry anymore.

Sora: *is in a very sour and sad mood and would just love to be left alone*

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Ri: *isn't very hungry anymore either, because the atmosphere has gotten a bit tense, but Rikka barely ate very much* Rikka, please sit down and eat a little more. You don't want to put the meal Mama made to waste.

[luscious-sarah.livejournal.com]

Rikka: *has a sorrowful look, and turns to go upstairs again* Wouldn't want to eat food I didn't work for, Dad. I'm sure you all can finish it. Mom... makes the best spaghetti. *gives you all a little strained smile and climbs the stairs softly*

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Ri: *sighs a bit because he was just teasing you, and gives Riku a Look to hold down the fort/dinner table while he gets up and follows Rikka*

Rikka.

[luscious-sarah.livejournal.com]

Rikka: I'll eat later, Dad. I'll go... buy something. *and for some reason, he feels tears behind his eyes, and quickly escapes to his room behind the door*

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Ri: *well, he follows you anyway, not letting you close the door on him, and speaks softly* Rikka. I was just teasing you about the job. You know me and Mama and Papa never forced you kids to do anything you didn't want to do. We're happy to be able to provide everything you guys need, and keep you from... hardships we've had.

*reaches out then gives your hair a quick ruffle* In fact, we've all very proud that you got yourself a full scholarship for university.

[luscious-sarah.livejournal.com]

Rikka: *he doesn't really deal with feeling-type-things too well, and listens, looking away before giving you a very kicked-puppy sort of look because he still feels not good enough for you, again and figures you're just being amiable to stay on Mama's good side*

... yeah.

*and finally shuts his door softly when you move*

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Ri: *is kinda sad when you shut the door on him* Come downstairs and spend time with your brothers and sisters if you want to. You know they'll miss you terribly when you're gone.

*and then he just... goes back to the table for the lukewarm remains of dinner with everyone else, things being very quiet*
