Bah, humbug.

Here's what i've got so far:

Which is some weird yet really really good shampoo stuff.

Which is an odd "airzooka" thing that the dog is already shit-scared of.

Signed dave spikey live dvd, The Usual suspects dvd, and Desperadoes game, and a wooden model.

This very camera, and a 64mb smartmedia thing.

Some Batman comics.

Some nostradamus prophecies, rather randomly.

My transformers/tank tshirt, an A3 sketchpad.

Money. That's it so far, though there should be more coming, once the extended family get here.

I got The Matrix Reloaded, Jedi Academy, Knights of the Old Republic, and a Philishave 5000. Best electric razor I have used in my entire life.

And yes, I do shave, even though I'm only 14.

Pablo Sanchez · Post by **Pablo Sanchez** » 2003-12-25 01:59pm

1. The Zinn Reader by Howard Zinn. A collection of essays from a radical historian.

2. Outlaw Star Perfect Boxed Set. Been wanting to get that for quite some time.

3. Some money. Always nice.

Then there was an exchange style program we did with the family. Everyone contributes one gift into the center of the room (I gave a Frank Zappa CD), then draw numbers. The first person picks a gift out of the center, then the second person can choose to either steal that gift or pick another--if your gift is stolen you immediately get another turn, though there are obviously no take-backs. It goes around two times, if you possess a gift three times it is yours, or if you are left with it at the end of play.

I ended up with a pair of bookends that look like frogs clinging to stone, and they weigh about of 20 pounds, I think. Bookends... or murder weapons? They can be both

Alex Moon · Post by **Alex Moon** » 2003-12-25 02:08pm

The Complete Far Side. Two volume hardcover boxset, with ALL of the Far Side comics ever printed, arranged in order of printing. This thing is heavy enough that a person might be able to stun a charging hippo with it.

And that's about it.

One of my friends says if he gets another shirt or sweater he'll snap and lose it. Every Christmas his female co-workers keep getting him shirts & sweaters that are completely not his style, and which he claims "makes him look retarded". Guess what? He just got another white sweater which he'll never wear. He was ranting & raving on the phone pretty good.

Crayz9000 · Post by **Crayz9000** » 2003-12-25 02:52pm

I suppose the only thing that might count is my dad not passing on the repair costs for my Camaro. All he expects me to pay is the base price of the car.

Which is cool, I suppose.

But most of the problem, I would guess, stems from my parents' relative isolationism... Oh well. Think you've got a reason to whine, Alyeska? Yeah, right.

Luckily these all seem to look good on me, so it's not a problem. I actually asked that people not get me anything for christmas, but of course they didn't listen.
