    That sounds really awesome.

    Today I received:

    *Ł150 towards a new computer
    *A Jeremy Clarkson book (slightly surprising, but I'll enjoy it as much as I'll hate it, I'm sure)
    *A hairdryer (slightly surprising again)
    *Socks (entirely unsurprising)
    *One of those Lynx deodorant/shower gel box things
    *Chocolates (a Cadbury's selection box, a little Nestle Heaven thing, a ridiculously big thing of Roses and a Doulton chocolate set so I can be a snob)
    *One of those Top Ten of Everything 2008 books (I love that sort of thing)
    *This weird belt-type thing with my name on it that nobody can figure out what it's for.

    Rather nice altogether. Spent most of today with my dad watching bits of soaps at Christmas (dunno why) and playing on dad's girlfriend's kid's Wii. Hope you all had a nice Christmas day.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    Hm. I didn't get as much as some people I know (I didn't get any fancy electronics, either) but I did get quite a bit IMHO. I also didn't get anything I was desperate for and definitly not what I really wanted, but hey, When does anybody?
    I got
    -A nifty sweater from my sister
    -two nifty tank tops from mom, one with Fall Out Boy on it, the other with Super Hello Kitty on it.
    -a gift card to Tar-jay for skinny jeans (do they even sell them there?) from mom, and 2 gift cards to a mall, a gift card for a craft shop, and 2 gift cards for book shops from some relatives.
    -a nice night dress and lacy shirt from thrift shops from mom, both of wich I will have to fit myself *sewing time!~*,
    -a book on Japanese wood carvings
    -some candy,
    -some chapstick,
    -a few movies out of the used bin at Blockbuster
    -Arthur and the Invisibles
    -The Prisoner of Azkaban
    -Madagascar
    And theres that. The entire list of what I got. Everything. A lot.

    Let's see...I was sort of overwhelmed this year! I didn't ask for much and got a lot! I got:

    A new shirt (though it's a bit too big, IMO)
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya DVD Volumes 1-4 (it also came with a record too o_O)
    A $20 gift card to Wal-Mart
    An anime encyclopedia (it's pretty freaking awesome!)
    Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Wii)
    Armor for Sleep- "Smile For Them"
    A couple of books on how to learn Japanese (the grammar book and the dictionary are especially nifty)
    The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS)
    Trauma Center: New Blood (Wii)
    Pokémon Battle Revolution (Wii)
    A HUGE body-length pillow <3
    Silverstein - "Arrivals and Departures"
    The Academy Is... - "Almost Here"
    A Wii Points card (2000 pts)
    Earthbound (SNES) (!) (I was shocked to get this. My mom found it used, and I've been looking for AGES for one)
    A new guitar amp
    Guitar Hero 3 (Wii)
    An XBox 360 Elite (shared throughout the family, not just mine)
    Metroid Prime: Corruption (Wii)
    $130

    I'm buying a PSP tomorrow with the money and the gift card.

    Like I said, I was way overwhelmed. I feel pretty spoiled, actually. D:

    EDIT: Oh, and I got a new pair of Vans too. <3
