Yeah, this week is our spring break. Haven't done much so far... went home on Friday to see my mom and little sister for a while, and ended up staying there from Friday night until earlier today. Went target shooting yesterday and stocked up on food and such from Wal-Mart, then came back today. Other than that, didn't do a whole lot while I was back home.
Also did a little bit of forensic shiznit, since I was able to get the Easter basket from last year while I was back home. I compared the first of the little 3x5 card notes to the weird Valentine's letter thing that I got this year, and... they do not have the same handwriting, though there are a few similarities (how the two people write a lowercase E is pretty similar.) Not similar enough to say "these are from the same person," though, since several other letters are clearly written differently every time (lowercase Ys, Bs, etc.) and one of the two is somewhat less "cursive-like." Even though the writing does look vaguely similar overall, I don't think these came from the same person.
(Of coruse... I never found out who the heck the Easter basket last year came from, so that doesn't really narrow down the "who did the Valentine's note come from?" possibilities any. XD)
And finally, since I don't have much else to talk about... it's kind of disturbing to overhear people playing Smash Bros. when they obviously know NOTHING about the original games that all the characters come from. First of all, there was confusion on who exactly is Link and who is Zelda (only from one of the two guys playing... the other one pointed out who Zelda is and who Link is, thankfully!)... and then "Is Kirby a guy or a girl?" was asked as a serious question. To make that even worse, the other guy didn't know the answer!
He did at least know better than to get Red and Ash mixed up, but made the mistake of just calling the poor guy "Pokémon Trainer" as if he didn't actually have a name. That one is Smash Bros. Brawl's fault for mislabeling him that way, at least, but still... if you're going to put forth an effort to identify him as "not Ash from the crappy Pokémon anime," you should at least go all the way to the truth and know what the guy's name actually is.
And later on I heard someone exclaim, as if completely stunned by this revelation, "Meta-Knight's from Kirby!?" Yeah. I guess it's pretty obvious they've never played a Kirby game at this point. At least nobody was asking if Kirby was a goddamn Pokémon... I've only heard someone ask that once, but it seriously pissed me off the last time.
