So what you score for Christmas?
2004-12-25, 7:20 AM #1
Let's all get jealous of the rich kids :p

I got:

- Far Side calendar
- Spider-man 2
- The Butterfly Effect
- and a fantasmagorically awesome card magic DVD from my mum (I'll post a vid once I get the ambitious card routine down, it is truely jaw-dropping)

- 256mb USB flash drive from my brother (very funky)

- Various bottles of wine and some chocolates from the relos (they know me too well)

- CDs and DVDs inevitably to come from the friends, as well as a copy of World of Warcraft one friend is definitely getting me

All up, I couldnt be happier, fantastic loot this year :D

Your parents gave you bottles of wine for Christmas? :p

I didn't score a lot in terms of quantity, but quality is there. Basically got several hundred dollars towards upgrading my computer. My Mom also got me an electric keyboard (she wants everyone in the family to be able to play piano). So, not bad at all. I'll finally be able to upgrade my computer to be able to run the latest games (like Half Life 2!)

Edit: Oh yeah, my brother gave me the Star Wars trilogy on DVD too.
Life is beautiful.

Let's see. this year I was a big DVD asker

-Happy Tree Friends "Third Strike" DVD
-Seinfeld Collectors (Seasons 1, 2, and 3)
-Strong Bad E-Mails (First 100) DVD
-Greg The Bunny DVD
-Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal (best game evar)
-Battle for Middle Earth PC
-Perhaps add 50 dollars if my uncle remembers it's Christmas.


I am going to be glued to the TV over Xmas break. I also got a new power supply (my "CompUSA" brand 400Watt died, surprise surprise), but I can't really use it until I get home from Florida.

I got brand new wheels and 2nd to the top of the line bearings for my skateboard. And I just found out that one of my trucks (the axle things) is broken, so my parents are gonna buy me a new set of those too.
I recieved "real ultimate power" the book, 2 Discworld novels, and an insane amount of "trendy" clothes from american eagle and areopostale because my parents don't want me to look grunge/indie/oi punk or whatever steriotype I fit into. 3 shirts and a hoodie can be salvaged from that....
New skates and new hockey stick. Quake 2. That covers it.

Oh and Will bought me Underworld on DVD
It took a while for you to find me; I was hiding in the lime tree.
