I got a Klipsch computer speaker system... the one seen at Best Buy. It's got a strong subwoofer and two satellite speakers. Fun! I also got a nice electronic shaver, something I've never used before.
 So what did you get? -------------------- FFXI (Siren server) Tauu the Windurstian Tarutaru! White Mage & Paladin |

Cash!!!! Always a hit.
 Now maybe I can buy Kingdom Hearts.... if it costs less than $30, as I also need to buy a PS2 (refurbished, of course... I'm on a tiny budget of $80) and a memory card. -------------------- "No matter what happens, I will always be with you... forever." ---- Pocahontas, Pocahontas "Only those who are already at the top are rewarded without trying."----- Delita Hyral, Final Fantasy Tactics http://www.ffshrine.org/fft/fft-midi/1-42-back_fire01.mid ---- My favorite FFT battle song |

My sister came home for Christmas, which was better than any gift I could have asked for. Tangibles, I scored some new headphones among other things.

I got a digital camera, which is something I've wanted for a while, as well as 100 bucks. My plans for the money are slightly less glamorous than most, as it will probably go to books and food for the upcoming semester. The twelve year old inside me wants to kick my ass and get more RAM for my computer, but hey, he has to eat sometime too.

Yes, family and friends are more important than material goods. But it is interesting to see what everyone got. It reveals the interests of the people here, and shows what the general trends are for gifts for young people. Clothes, DVDs, games, money and gift cards and seem to rank at the top.

My favorite part of the week was when my brother broke his leg.
OK, so that sounds really bad. It's sort of a "it's about time" sort of thing. He pulls this kind of crap all the time, and it should have happened long ago. He could have broke some other guy's neck doing what he was doing. Let's all hope he learns his lesson. Only problem now is that the rest of the family no longer exists to be ignored, in his eyes; now we exist to be his personal servants. Anyways, the top presents I got were a DVD player/system, some old video games, and an enormous start to a comic book collection, which included a couple #1's.

Quote Happy Christmahannakwanzakah everyone. STFUPLZKTHX I hate that commercial... I got a couple of new shirts, one of which was a family guy T, I got some new shoes which are solid white and are gonna be a bitch to clean, but are pediotricly (is this a word? if not I'm making this word, it means "as to retaining to the foot... I CAN MAKE WORDS I CAN DO THAT!) commendable! I got a fleece blankie too. So I can look like one of those painfully flourecent colored kids form the old navy commercial. This year we're getting only one gift for another person we're drawing from a hat. This way we can spend infinate amounts of money on another person and fund the bonds of financially-based hatred that will inevidibly come from other family members. HOORAY! -------------------- At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) |
