And I think that's it o.o


FFIII IS THE COOLEST!!! O: I LOVE THE LITTLE ORPHANS!

I recieved other little things, and about 65 (together) dollars from my Grandparents/Aunt.
Dual Sympathy was out of stock, so I plan to use that money on buying it myself when it's availible.

I was going to get the Fullmetal Alchemist DVD, but I told my father he didn't have to get me it.
And he didn't. Hurrah.
I didn't get any Miyazaki movies either.

Oh, well.
I'm very happy with my Fullmetal Alchemist plushies.
They're adorable.

So far it's cash/promises of cash "gift credit" of sorts, mostly.

Picture frame, mixed nuts and T-shirt are my current physical gifts.

Dad's present was to let me order my gifts on ebay. I got the adaptor cord I need for my lappy, and a video capture box.

I only got Cash and some cloths too and a cuople of psp games and the fullmetal alchemist game for nintendo DS

Score on the adaptor cord. Your daddy rocks.

So about my $230 . . . my brother supposedly also got the same amount as I did, but his was $280 for some reason. I did not want to admit this unintentional defeat and looked on the tree for more red envelops (my family members hid them there for us to find). I did find one that was missed, and instead of the remaining $50, I found $100! Take that, little brother. Anyhow, Boxing Day shopping was pretty successful (now I won't have to buy anything for a long, long while), and I only spent about $245 CAD for great-quality items.

What I Got For Boxing Day:

- Pink/navy blue striped oxford polo shirt
- Forest green polo shirt
- Brown polo shirt
- White polo shirt
- Gray tights
- Black tights
- Brown fleece gloves
- Pink pajamas
- Blue-striped dress shirt
- Dark gray-striped dress shirt
- Denim shirt dress
- Nintendo graphic T-shirt (pink with a picture of Toad; so cuuute)
- Undergarments
- 2 pairs of jeans

Quis- I snagged it for a total of 20 dollars from a seller in Hong Kong.



Tonight was a bigger haul.

Big sis and bro gave me a... gosh what was it called? A fuzzy down comforter that has zippers and snaps so you can fasten it around your body and wear it. (Since I'm always wearing blankets like shawls around the house (and sometimes at school I did it as well), this comes in super handy, even if it looks dorky as frick.)

Moneys. <3

A card to boost my RAM. (I announced it happily, while my five year old niece sat beside me- "256 megabytes of RAM!" and she lit up and squealed "Oh my gosh! That's exac'ly what I want for my Christmas!" XD What a little ham.)

Some books; most of them screenplays and film making guides. (I recognized a couple of them from a book liquidation store my mom and I visit occasionally.)

A purse. (Which is kind of tacky... to be honest. It's rather... wapanese...)

Lifesavers. A godiva chocolate bar.

Slipper socks.

Good call! Them Asians overseas sell things so cheap.


What IS that called? I'm rather curious about it since I've never heard of/seen anything like it. You must find out and show us some pictures.


Always good.


What's this "wapanese"?


Mmm . . . edibles.

I got a couple things for christmas =D
:
My Mom:
she got me Crainium and DDR Super Nova

My Grandma (i live with her and my grandpa so i got a big chunk of my christmas stuff from her ) :
Various FMA things like:

1) A Alphonse bloodseal shirt
2) Alphonse bloodseal keychain lighter thingie ( i some Alphonse stuff because our hot topic is running out of Edo stuff T_T but i don't mind )
3) A military insignia silver necklace which is very purdy i might add.
4) the Speical Edition of the FMA movie (yay commentaries) <333
5) A Roy hat

Fruits Basket things:
6) another Kyo shirt
7) A Shigure and a Yuki plush

Regular things:
8) a new CD player
9) a nifty CD holder that picks out the CD's you want with a push of a button =D
10) a few shirts/a necklace/earrings/& a bracelet
11) and another necklace that my granny ordered off a shopping network. It came with a mollusk and what your supposed to do is open the mollusk (is was once living by the way) and look around and there is a real pearl inside and then you take the pearl and put it in the necklace. Depending on what color the pearl is it's supposed to mean different things. It's very nifty
12) aaaand a Sims 2 pets game for the gamecube
13) (i keep forgetting things!) some perfume
14) a Auron action figure (from Final Fantasy 10)
15) and finally some hats and such
also my Mom's Boyfriend got me a Geisha picture. it looks likes like it was woven and it's sooo pretty. xD

Aaaand my friend and her mom got me candy and some earrings.

I think that's it xD

An Ipod, a book on the Beatles, a friendship dogtag necklace, Victoria's Secret gift card, perfume, and $120 jcpenny gift card.

And I in turn gave everyone gift cards.

You people clean up! But this is the best Christmas I've had in years. I should lose my job more often this time of year.

I got:
-A new Nano to replace the one I dropped in the washer.
-A new graphics card for my computer.
-An insane amount of gift cards. Old Navy, Vicky's Secret, Bath & Body works, Dillard's, Kohl's, Borders, and a whole bunch of other places.
-Madden NFL 07 for the PS3.
-$500 bucks from my bro.

You people all got ipods and I got a CD player.

Final Fantasy VII Dirge Of Cerberus
Final Fantasy XII
1 T-Shirt

GHD straightners
Art equipment
Perfume
a mobile phone
Hair products
bath products

I'm glad I didn't get another ironing board cover

I have finally come back now..last christmas,i had new clothes..

Another seasonal revival of an old thread from it's hiatus for a possible seasonal conversation.

Economy is tough here in the U.S. right now, and I'm not being "material-greedy" this year. XD I just wish a good health to everyone in my family. ^^ (But, if I'm on Santa's "nice" list, maybe a little better/faster/more reliable Net connection would be nice. ^^)

Oh goodness...in terms of material things, all I really want is gift certificates to the grocery store...or to the phone company, so maybe I don't have to pay my phone bill for a month XD

But otherwise I just want my family/friends not to get the flu or any other disease going around, for my cat to be as healthy as he can in his old age, and for all my friends in my major to pass this semester so we can all be together next semester

I wanted a cellphone, iPod, PSP or DS.

I sabotaged myself. Asked for socks cos I needed them. Got... mainly socks. Apparently being a college student means that the relatives who still give me presents will now take my requests literally and assume I have lost all interesting personality traits.

Other than that... well, I can't exactly get a better GPA for Christmas, and world peace mainly requires work... so yeah. Hopefully everyone's holidays have been safe and happy.

I'd love to receive a new laptop and a faster internet connection. I hate receiving food as gifts 'cause they never last. Besides nothing beats cash

What I would like to get: A billion dollars, a man who will love me, and respect me for who I am and knows how to kick some [All hail lord Xenu], and a large pepperoni pizza.

What I don't want to get: More house guest

What I got for Christmas: The first season of the X-Files, the new Flyleaf CD, an orange watch, one of those Russian/Eskimo hats, and Guitar heroes 3, legends of rock for the PlayStation 2, and I got a PS2

What I wanted for this Christmas but didn't get (material-wise ^^) : A better Web connection (but it's on a way ^^)
The most un-original yet the most versatile/practical/useful gift I got: A giftcard for Target store (for non-U.S. members, it's like a general merchandising/department store, like Walmart but a tad more upscale. ^^) Awesome gift, and I'm already spending it away!!



LOL!! Been there, done that, and I learned my lessons.

On the other hand, the socks are warm.
