Big News!

Fri Jan 9, 2009, 11:00 AM
I've been writing a lot of journal entries lately...xD

Just doing it this way because I absolutely felt like calling someone yesterday, but I didn't have the phone number of anyone who'd be able to understand this.
My oldest brother came over yesterday. He hadn't been here for Christmas, so he brought his Christmas gifts for us with him and just gave them to us yesterday.
I had asked him to buy me a calendar by :iconjocarra:, because I really liked that one and wanted to support her. My brother told me that the calendar was still being shipped here, but that he also had another gift for me.
The biggest shock of my life: It was the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Student Edition, completely with the latest Photshop version (CS4), InDesign, Illustrator, and Acrobat.
I went into a complete shock and couldn't even feel very happy. My legs were shaking the entire evening. I know my brother spent a lot of money on that and I just can't help thinking that it's not justified because I only use it for my pleasure, and that I don't deserve it that he's spending so much money on me.
Last year my secong host family already bought me a very expensive necklace for my birthday, and that was just two weeks after I had moved in with them. I was still a total stranger, and yet they did this for me. Now my brother is doing something similar, too. One of the nicest guys in the universe, and he's related to me, and of all the people, he gives me such a gift....
I almost couldn't sleep last night, but I've got an idea what I can give him as a gift later.

On top of Photoshop, I've also got a new computer, because my old one crashed just after Christmas. I've got my internet cnnection back just since today.

So lotsa new stuff here. Photoshop makes me feel bad, though.

Anyway, look forward to new wallpapers!

It is an awesome gift, I just feel really bad because of the amount of money he spent on me. I don#t deserve it. :(

I'm definitely gonna do tons of wallpapers for him. He has a different resolution than I do, so I hadn't done too much for him yet.

He is totally amazing!
I remember how I was mad when my computer crashed with still half of the Photoshop CS4 test version days left. I was so mad. And now I actually own it....I can't really believe it.
One thing I can promise you: I'm gonna make a new Luke Skywalker one for you!
