Figure I might as well start this!

What did Santa bring you?


My loot:

160 GB iPod

1.5 TERABYTE External HD

Modern Warfare 2

Left 4 Dead 2

Eat 3D Old Damaged Piller DVD

iPod Accessories

Random clothing, stuff for my dorm room, and other little things.

And the all too rare time with my family.

Another satisfying Christmas :)

    Wow, thats a lot of things!

    I wanted for christmas only one thing, to get better from this awful throat infection that i had for a week so I would be able to spend next week somewhere away with my girlfriend.

    Turns out that I got neat scarf and chocolate yesterday and today my throat feels incredibly better and all the pain is almost gone! YAY for the christmas!

    Oh ye, and granny gave me some money that i spent on me and my roommates (5x Serious Sam HD - this will be the ultimate coop :D )

    Yeah, you got a ton of stuff, heh. I got Modern Warfare 2, too :)

    Mainly I got things worth eating, plus the new Terry Pratchett book Unseen Academicals, the WoW: Wrath of the Lich King cinematic art book (very cool!) and a few DVDs (Moon, Watchmen, Bill Bailey).

    No doubt the next few days will be spent trying to get my mum to learn how an iPod works...

    Your terabyte is making my eyes go funny.

    I did rather well for myself:
    Living room setting - 2 arm chairs, 2 seat couch, coffee table, rug to replace my old worn out futon. I could probably almost bring myself to invite people in to my little rathole now.

    Box of assorted modelling knives. Oh so many knives. I can't imagine what I'll do with them all.
    DVDs - My Neighbour Totoro, Pixar Shorts, Clutch live
    Modern Warfare 2 (XBox 360)
    Towels. Mmm fluffy.
    Shower Curtain. Mmm free of icky black mildew.
    Iced coffee mugs. Dad made these before he retired.
    6 pack of assorted Bridge Road Brewers beers.
    Milawa Blue Cheese, Kalamata Olives and assorted pestos.
    Box of Nougat.

    Plus a nice evening with the extended family. Good food, good wine. Good times.

    I woke up to a christmas stocking outside my door, it had a dinosaur fossil in it and loads of chocolate goodies ( a selection of chocolate bars and chocolate sweets filled with Irish whisky cream as a filling) and my dad decided to pop a tube of tooth paste in with it all for the laugh, there was also party poppers and sparklers and he gave me some stockings and boxers and a pair of denims , a puzzle and a new deck of playing cards and the last season of the shield. :) and spending quality time with my family.

    Edit: and a black christmas hat with the words "Bah humbug" on it

    I didn't ask for much this year. I really only asked for a keyboard and some movies, all the other gifts were bonus I guess.
    - Logitech g15
    - a new headset with mic
    - movies, district 9, something something something darkside, inglorious basterds, role models
    - all season of how i met your mother
    - a nice zip up hoody with fleece so thick, even the boniest fingered nun could poke you in the chest and it wouldn't bother you none.
    - a carrying case for warhammer 40k minis, and some pots of paint.

    Ahaha. I received some gifts!

    1) A nice pair of new jeans! YES.
    2) A nice pair of outdoor gloves! YES.
    3) A package of white briefs! I don't wear or even need these, WTF?
    4) And a QWERTY keyboard. Because I use dvorak. A-ha! (That was in fact the motivation for the gift.)

    I made a gingerbread house today (it's horrible) and even yet plan to give someone the gift of a movie ticket, in order to go see Avatar with them. It is a nice day. Merry to you all.
