Holiday Hauls

[Nick Shogun]

Isn't that what Xmas/Kwanza/Channukah/Etc is really all about?

I was concerned that a topic of this nature, or at least a topic about the season festivities, wasn't already here, so I decided to be the forerunner of the MILLENIUM.

8. New portable CD player (because I constantly break them)
9. Dane Cook CD/DVD
10. $100 Best Buy GC to buy a new, high-quality scanner
11. Day-planner

[PriamNevhausten]

It's probably kind of wrong that I chuckle inside anytime someone refers to anything from the States being 'yankee.' <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

Be a geek in New Jersey for long enough and you begin to hate the word "Yankee". YES OKAY I'M GLAD YOU LIKE YOUR FUCKING BASEBALL TEAM THANK YOU VERY MUCH I'M GOING TO PLAY D&D BYE. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

Another bottle of perfume called Snake Oil, which smells absolutely lovely, But it's the name I like most!

[WillBaseton]

It's good to be back...the holidays were hell for me. I've got a relatively small haul this year, especially for my family, a clan of notorious spendthrifts (my dad bought himself 10 DVDs on the day before Christmas Eve). However, my most important piece of the haul was a little bit delayed by the Customs Department, and I recieved it early Thursday morning.

Gifts Recieved From Others
- 1x School of Rock Special Edition DVD
- 1x Napoleon Dynamite DVD
- 1x Office Space Special Edition [With Flair!] DVD
- 1x bag of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans (all of the good flavors eaten within the first hour)
- 1x white LED keychain light
- $140 cash

Gifts Bought For Self
- 1x Serenity DVD
- 1x Star Wars Battlefront II DVD Edition (PC)

The Most Important Gift Of All (to me, at least)
- 1x IBM Thinkpad T42p laptop, complete with 2.0gHz Pentium M processor, 60GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, 128MB ATI Mobility FireGL 2 video card, hybrid CD-RW/DVD-RAM drive, fingerprint scanner, and integrated wireless, as well as a spare battery and double battery charger. Customs delayed it for most of this week as it was shipped from Hong Kong, but it's already replaced my desktop. It's that good. <p><hr />"Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa! Teal'c! BULLETS BOUNCE!"
- Cameron Mitchell, Stargate SG-1</p>

[Ganonfro]

....Ok, I have an addendum. My girlfriend got me the entire Grim's Fairy Tale cartoons that were on Nickelodeon in 89. I have never gotten a more appreciated gift.

[pd Rydia]

Toys! Bubble blowy juice, light-up bouncy dice, and a 20 questions hand-held game which can correctly guess "ninja" and "kitty cat"! And peek-a-blocks! They're these blocks, with neat stuff inside which jiggle or turn or make noises. There's this one, with a little ant, scurrying off with a whole strawberry (it wiggles), and another, with an apple with a bite taken out of it (you can turn it at the bottom, so it looks like a whole apple or a bitten apple). Yeah, they're awesome. :0

...also, the family got the joint gift of a foosball table. That was darn fun to play.

Food! A can of corn! Continuing the precedent started last year, I got a can of corn in this year's stocking (different brand =O). Hooray! I also got generous portions of chocolate from Mike's brother--it was part of one of his gifts, but he shared, which was cool. Because, you know. Chocolate.

...also--meals! Home-cooked meals that -I- didn't have to cook. :D Also, also--Skyline! IT'S BEEN SO LONG! And------PAELLA! Real Spanish paella! Real paella absoludicrously overflowing with dead creatures, like chicken, pork, shrimp, grouper, scallops, mussels, clams, squid, and more I couldn't identify. A PETA nightmare! It was so tasty. n___n

Books! Mike's sister-in-law gave me a rosary and a book about Catholic Weddings. Mom Florida, a psychiatric nurse, had a few bits of psychiatric literature laying around that she let me have. Mike and I both received a batch of manga books, and weird card-disc things. Oh, and I got a recipe book thingy. It's neat. :0

Art! Mike and I got some origami tree ornaments from Granma and Granpa Santa as we left to head back to Georgia. Mike's sister also had given me a couple paintings she did during my stay--a night scene on wood, and a pumpkin on paper.

I got to meet my new brother-to-be, and witness the difference 6 months of age makes between the ages of 1 and 3 yrs, between Mike's youngest sister and brother and his visiting nephew. I also got lots of hugs. Repeatedly. There were lots of people for hugging, and they're a cool huggy family.

And, of course, there were three weeks with Mike, and coming back to Georgia with him. That was neat. Normally after a vacation, it's always been off to separate places, which kinda sucks.

So, yeah, that was my Christmas.

[Ganonfro]

ON EBAY. Apparently some people that saved old shows like that burn them to DVD and sell them. They are just as awesome as I remember them... Fake anime looking stories of awesome fairy tales which are still a little more gruesome than Disney, a little less gruesome than the actual stories.

[Deeum]

I seeth with unimaginable jealousy. <p><div style="text-align:center"><hr />

[Ganonfro]

I'm sorry my girlfriend totally rocks. :(

[Endesu]

I'm horribly late by so many weeks, but here you go:

New TV
New entertainment center
New trashbin
New laundry hamper
New storage bins
Monty Python autobiography
Nightmare on Elm Street collection
New floor lamp
Gift certificates (with which I purchased DDRE 2, Boogeyman, and Wrong Turn)
Some other things

There you go. <p><hr />
</p>

[Capntastic]

The best Holiday Gift is seeing your smiling face, Endo!

Zero is appealing to my better nature, only to strike me down in the future!

I'll show him. I'll make him cry in a snowy field as delicate violin music plays in the background. This will involve an elaborate plot twist where he has actually already died... <p><hr />
