HAI GUYS! :D

Greetings from North Lakes! :boogie: The area around here is all newly built, so it's safe enough for Dad to set up a temporary Wireless Network until our container arrives. Mum discovered a list of newly arrived container ships in the newspaper, so we'll know the day it gets here!

So, loads of things since we dropped the internet all the way back in Voorschoten. Woah, just typing that is making me feel all out-of-sync again... I only just finished adjusting my body-clock this morning, thank you very much! :XD: Anyway, the move itself, Brother's birthday in the hotel, the house we're renting, the return of stuff in storage, Christmas, New Year, MY BIRTHDAY. :D Also, lots of forms I've had to fill in. Oh, the joys of adulthood in your home country. Only an expat would really know it. :roll:
Brother, to his annoyance, had a game for his Xbox360 arrive from Amazon.uk the day before we flew out, and took it out in the airport at Schipol to stare at it hopefully. :XD: He got a few more games to join it for his birthday once we'd arrived in Brisbane and wouldn't stop asking when our Air-freight would arrive with his precious Xbox inside. :roll:

For Christmas, the entire family gave the entire family a Wii. :D To be able to bring it with us on the plane, Dad and I unpacked it before we left and got rid of the cardboard and stuffs. We all got games to go with it, too. I got Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and I finally finished it a couple of hours ago! Wow, that is one cool game! I still have to finish collecting Poes and Pieces of Heart and such though, being the completionist I am. :XD: Apparently we also missed a Howling Stone in Lake Hylia, which I'll have to search out. O.o
Just a small note, Ganondorf is so ANNOYING to beat! If he's in Brawl, I'm never playing as him, just like I'm never using the Bridge of Eldin stage, because that pig-guy just WOULDN'T DIE! D: And I somehow missed the WarpPoint there because I ran away instead of fighting, so I had nowhere to go when I finally found the bridge again in the desert. :XD: I'm gonna steal Dad's WarioWare game next, once I'm bored of Zelda. Funnnnnn~!
AND... we all got DVDs too, so I have my yearly fix of DOCTOR WHO BOXSET FUN! :D *happyhappyjoyjoydance* :dance:

SO TALKING ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY NOW. HOW CAN I BE NINETEEN ALREADY? And digging up all those kiddie photos from storage just make it worse. Poor Other Brother was incredibly annoyed so little photos had him in them. He was only four when we left, and there were at least ten or eleven years worth of memories in there, not including before I was born! And apparently we have a lot of furniture from the twenties, including our poorly stored piano (never use Crown, seriously! They suck!), our great-grandfather's front table that Mum inherited and a stool-with-vague-origins-that-I-can't-remember-at-the-moment. ^^;
Um... for my birthday, I mainly just got some DS games. Pokemon Diamond, which is a great deal of fun (because I keep avoiding beating the gyms :XD:) and Drawn to Life, which is an awesome concept but could be so much better, and Honeycomb Beat which is a puzzle game that is VERY HARD TO BEAT. Honestly, a puzzle is either easy or ridiculously hard! THERE'S NO INBETWEEN.
And we had lunch with some of Dad's relatives on my birthday, too. Dad's Auntie Barb and his cousin (who I've forgotten the name of! D: ) and her son Thomas. Predictably, Brother and Tom bonded over... just guess... VIDEO GAMES. :roll: They chatted for hours about Halo and Metroid and Brother even nicked my DS so they could play Metroid together. Tom had heard of Drawn to Life, and tipped me off before I'd gotten far that it apparently wasn't that good a game, but even so it was an awesome concept. I've almost finished it actually, just stuck on the final boss. Sisterling was doing silly things in her save file, like drawing a fire instead of a spring to jump off. :XD:

Oh crap, I'm ranting again. Oh well, it's my journal. :XD: I'll copy-and-paste over to LJ and expand on everything there, then you guys don't have to read unless you're really interested. :D
