Frohe Weihnachten.
Good morning world! I managed to see how each person's character was- be it horrid or angelic. I must say, hardly anyone impressed me. I'm not saying that they are all bad people like Fantome. It's just that they aren't the best that you can get. I still think that I like some people exceptionally well. Really nice to me. As for others, they didn't offend me, but the way they treated others were really hard for me to swallow. Wise up people! There's this really thin line between humourous and sarcastic and some people are either ignorant of it or couldn't care less. Well, I'm wishing you guys good luck on that.
Okay, Apart from those selfish wishes I made for myself previously, I'm going to wish that the world would become a better place for you and for me (MJ!).
The most impressionable/impressive gift that I got for Christmas was a refillable fountain pen from LAMY. It was given to me by my aunt (mum's brother's wife). Apparently, the monetary value was jaw-dropping, but I'm not extremely bothered by it. The important point was that my aunt thought that teens these days were chasing the "modern" culture blindly, having all sorts of high-technology possesions et cetera. So she thought of getting me and her son a fountain pen each. It meant a lot to her. In the past, the children (adults these days) used a fountain pen. It would stick with them throughout their whole journey of education because the ink is in a bottle and you have to squeeze it into then pen, which makes the pen environtmentally friendly. No discarding of pens. Also, they were really not very affluent, so that meant that they had to scrimp and save as much as they could. If you compared these children to us, I would find myself rather hopeless. I've been receiving, discarding and wasting pen. Tons of them. I'll treasure the fountain pen she gave me. It serves as a reminder as well as a memento and past of the adults. Christmas was well spent, allowing me to discover so many things!
Happy Boxing day!
