Christmas in the ocean is my notion of fun! (Presents!)

[Shiny]

a Mr. T t-shirt

I don't know what I've gotten from other family members yet as I've only exchanged with people super close. Here's what I have so far:

• Silver and diamond necklace in the shape a heart
• Pearl and crystal bracelet
• Cross necklace (??? I'm not really religious)
• Random white vest (the third white vest my mom has gotten)
• High brown leather boots
• Black seude boots
• Some other clothes
• Assassin's Creed 2
• Macbook Pro 15" Laptop
• Adobe Suite Installation
• Final Cut Studio Installation
• 100 Dollars
• Gift Card
• A card
• Jennifer's Body and Gamer on really good quality bootlegs
• And a bunch of lovely messages via cell, room phone, FB and eoff

Awkward story about the last one. Someone called me at 9am today and I was pretty tired. I had been up from 12am - 5am playing Assassin's Creed 2. And she was like, "HEY, MERRY CHRISTMAS IS CJ up?" I thought to myself, "Who the hell is this and how do they know the name of my bird?!" I guess I will eventually figure that out later on.

I got a portable hard drive from my parents ^o^

And of course the bear hat from krissy I posted earlier.

And I get to see krissy in like 2 days :</>D yayy.

- New TV, because mine was a block and didn't fit well in my room, nor did it fit on the TV stand I got for my birthday.

- Star Ocean 4, Tales of Vesperia, Prototype and Fallout3 (Fallout3 was my own purchase for very cheap )

- 6 shirts (all are very nice and will get frequent use when I feel like wearing a shirt)

- 3 pairs of board shorts (I was running really low of pants for some reason, this means I can wear pants everyday now!)

- I bought a pair of board shorts last week and hadn't taken them out of the bag, so Mum wrapped them and gave them to me, from her xD

- A signed copy of The Gatekeeper by Richard Blackburn

- A ring

- $20 iTunes voucher

- $20 clothes voucher

- a sweet dragon lamp thing from Timekeeper (plus two mini swords that don't go with it, or so he tells me after an hour of trying to put them together)

- a bag for uni. It'll actually hold my books and a laptop, unlike my old one

- two paintings of Jin and Mugen by my aunt

- very nice shaving cream

- most importantly, underwear!

I got spoilt, badly.

Firstly, the stuff I got for myself...

Tiny paisley umbrella


Crazy shell pitcher, old ugly picture frame, and Spiderman's head (lawn art, yo)


Kimono


Engrish strawberry jammie shirt!

BJ got me a tray made out of recycled tin labels...

Cake book, butterfly cake pan, oranges and apples (yes, gifts, and I <3 them), giraffe mug (from BJ), and a big cock with a ladel...

Rosemary olive oil in a pretty bottle, olives and pickles, a reindeer that poops candies, a candle holder, and a fruity plate...

Disney princess calendar and tiny strawberry picnic...



This, I thought, was super weird...

When BJ was in New York he took a picture in front of a "LOVE" statue for me. For Christmas he got me a magnet of it. Not knowing this, his sister got me a LOVE T-shirt and when I got to my dad's house my little sister had drawn the same LOVE for me.

I thought it was nutters. BJ was like "meh."
