    Still another hour or so until stockings are checked, then breakfast, than presents, it's tradition to open before going to bed, but all I was allowed to open was a card, it contained $20, and since I was full of scotch last night I passed out after returning from my grandmother's house, and got a nice 5 hour nap, before I woke up at 4am unable to return to sleep. I foresee not much in the way of anything I actually want though. If I get something that deserves surprise, I shan't be surprised, my lack of most emotion prevents me from displaying surprise.

    Edit: Upon opening of gifts I was right in my assumption, the only thing of note was a G-Cube USB hub. (Of note in this instance means something that wasn't for university.)

    I got:

    - a towel, which I already knew about (Thanks, Mum! )
    - a make up set, when I never wear make up, except foundation. (Well, the make-up bag will be handy...)
    - a jewelry box, when I have no jewelry! (Well, I do; a necklace, that I never take off unless I have to...)

    Still, the fact that my mum, at least, really liked presents I got her (a James Herriott biography and Goodnight Mister Tom DVD) more than made up for it. Plus I got £300 from my folks (albeit at the beginning of the month) when they can't really afford it...

    I got Guitar Hero III, a Halo :3 t-shirt, pajamas, a plastic squid that swims around the bathtub, The Thing on DVD, slippers, gloves, socks, and a load of candy.

    You wonder why people ask you for lists of desired items =/

    Edit: I'm a lot happier than it looked in this post. I was just like, totally expecting The Sims 2, which no dice It really threw me for a loop because I'd have bet every present that one of my presents contained such. xD Now that the surprise has passed, Holy Crap GHIII
