Title: Merry Christmas, TDC.
Post by: Keaton on December 25, 2010, 09:51:12 AM
And a very happy nondenominational celebration of the changing of the solstice to everyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas.

I got a marshmallow shooter, a Link pez dispenser knockoff by nintendo, some twizzlers, some sunflower seeds, and I got to see my baby brother and my mommy :D

How about y'all?

Fine. Ignore my other Christmas thread.

I got a Chocolate orange (YEHS!) a copy of CANAAN on DVD, A copy of Gunslinger Girl il teatrino (an anime i've been putting off buying for like... YEARS.) a $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble's and a $50 credit at my local import store where I usually buy anime (Since it's usually only like 20-30 dollars for a full season/series of anime there.)

I also got Mad Libs, which I immediately filled up with only the words "boobs" and "poop" alternatingly.

A new toothbrush since my old one tasted like a nasty sneaker.

(going to and got) Get new headphones (it's part of my "style") from my Grandparents and my girlfriend (Yes, Ko-chan said she's getting me Headphone like Yosuke's from Persona 4) and she say she's going to make me a scarf.

I'm making her a romantic novelge based on our romance up to this point.

I also plan on getting several new volumes of manga (Kimi ni Todoke, I'm finally gonna get caught up on you, you too Spice and Wolf)

That's about all this Christmas, I should be able to get Gurren Lagann and/or FLCL from my import store with my credit, so I'm totally happy.

Anyone else want to share?

Edit: I also got a totaly of 640 gigabytes of storage data added to my computer through external HDDs. So that's a major plus.

Tach, I has your Christmas present to me later? Kthnxbai.

Also, your Christmas present is in the mail, along with a check for $760,000.

Shipping time estimated at 97 years.

25 people from my family came here at 3 and they just left. x_x As for presents, I got roller blades, a Finale music composure software, $25 to GameStop, $90 cash, candy corn (for teh lulz), and an incredible black Cannonball soprano saxophone. It's so beautiful. X33333333333

Oh, and I also got a present from Girugamesh- A mp3 preview of the song Destiny (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0ssMv8qsB0) from their new album GO, coming out on 1/26. It's not great, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. >_> There's also a PV preview, but it's only 12 seconds long. XD

For Christmas, I got nine hours of sleep (I hadn't slept in over 48 hours due to traveling home), chocolate, junk like that.

Also, three hats.

A stereotypical Australian hat.

A furry hat that scene kids wear.

And a New York hat. Finally, I have something to remember it by.

I got some glow in the dark shirts that I'm TOTALLY wearing around the Bronx at night once I go back.

I got Punch Out! Which I need to play obsessively before I go back to my Wii-less dorm.

I got three movies that I am very happy about.

The Blues Brothers. RAWHIDE

The Goonies. HEY YOU GUYS

The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming.

...

Haven't seen that one yet, but it looks funny.

I got some kind of statue of liberty artsy decoration thing that I'll probably never get around to building.

I got Guesstures, that'll be fun to play at acting school.

I got a watch that doesn't make me look homeless.

I got a pair of jeans. It's safe to go into public now.

More pajama bottoms. It's safe to go to bed now.

Probably more stuff. I'll take pictures later.

Actually, I just got an idea. I'll be making a video.

Let's see if I can remember at the top of my head...

A laptop fan
An art book with creator discussion of Avatar: The Last Airbender
A Hylian Shield replica
Gloves
An iTunes card
A cactus (wasn't really able to bring it back with me, anyway, and I wouldn't know where to keep it here, to boot :( )

So yeah, happy Minishmasukah, everyone! ...Merry Christmas, too. XD

Finally got myself a Wii for Christmas.  Working on unlocking characters for Brawl at the moment.

Also got Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for the PS3.

The main things I got were an iPod Nano, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, and a bunch of movies.  The Force Unleashed II is a lot of fun and has a cool storyline, but it is WAY too short.

Well, here's what I got.

Christmas Eve, I got a set of glass cups with Beatles album covers on them from my aunt and uncle and I got $10 from my grandpa. My sister gave me a shirt with this picture on it (http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/9971/dndtf2.jpg) (I got one last year but when it got washed all the screen-printing came off with it) and a set of Nook Color anti-glare screen protectors.

What I got today:


I was supposed to get Blue Album Deluxe but it never arrived in the mail. D:

Overall, though, pretty great Christmas. Yesterday I hacked my Nook Color and I now have a fully-functional Android tablet. :D

We were up in Pennsylvania for Christmas, except for my sister, who spent it with the in-laws, and my brother, who didn't want to miss work for four days, so we're opening our gifts tonight.  But one of my aunts gave me a deck of Pokemon cards, which I decided to start collecting again.  Now if only I could get my friend into Pokemon....

We were going to go a little less money-spendy spendy this year, so I got nothing too incredible like you guys.

-Pokemon Battle Revolution (I'm a little late, but okay.)

-Eagle sculpture

-I'm eventually gonna get "The Three Musketeers" when the book store reopens

-My Dad is working on a custom built Guitar

-AND THIS (http://www.trueswords.com/silver-knights-silver-spiral-wrap-rapier-sword-p-387.html)

INCONCIEVABLE!

Seriously though, it is pretty freaking nice.

That is nice.  I really should start asking for swords myself.

Anywho, I got a couple of books.  "The Stepsister Scheme" by Jim C. Hines, which I believe I mentioned in my Superbook topic, and "Bitten" by Kelley Armstrong.  Finishing up books, I got the second volume of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, which I already finished reading.

I finally got a charger and a memory card for my PSP, so now I can play Final Fantasy Tactics, assuming the PSP will ever read the UMD.  I also got Final Fantasy The 4 Heroes of Light, which is about as good as I thought it would be, given that it uses a brand new battle system.  My dad renewed my subscription to GameInformer and got me a GameStop Power Up Rewards Pro card, which I need to activate.

Finally, my grandmother got me a plaque that reads "I have flying monkeys and I am not afraid to use them."  I need to find a place to hang that up in my room.

If your plaque used "sniper squirrels," that would've been freaking epic. Well, okay, it's already freaking epic, but you know what I mean.
