Every year I try to give a crap about people's lists of presents that they got, and every year I fail. Maybe it's just me.

Scrooge!

Quote

Yeah, I always try to read what people got, and like CJ, I'm never amused. But I still feel the need to write out what I got.

-New hooded sweatshirt
-Candy
-New Keyboard and mouse
-New cell phone to replace my broken one
-PeeWee's Playhouse DVD Box Sets
-The offical You Have Bad Taste In Music t-shirt

And, today I bought myself a new guitar amp.

Hypocrit!

Quote

Same here.

Bum!

My friends and family tend to respect my views on the Christmas thing, so I did not receive any gifts other than a large chunk of uninterrupted time in which to work on my game. Couldn't have chosen a better gift if I'd bought it myself...

And who are these people who give out bottles of Jack Daniels? I must get to know them. (Who cares about consumerism and corporate crap when people are handing out bottles of Jack!?)

P.S. I am not a drunkard.

It's funny. This year I didn't buy my own presents (usually I get money to buy my own presents with) but I got exactly what I wanted, and I didn't even know it yet.
I got a bow an arrows and this cool-looking thing that you wear to pull the bow back. I got a camouflage shirt and a pink and camouflage scarf, and an iPod.

moneys < dollards

When I got Garritan's Jazz and Big Band sample library, it came with a Christmas card signed by Gary himself. Awesome!

I received for Christmas:

One (1) Big Knife (I'll edit this post later with the exact model and maybe a picture if I can be arsed to bother)
One (1) Radiohead Album (Kid A)
One (1) King Crimson Album (Earthbound, the one I didn't have; good job, little brother)
One (1) Copy of Don Quixote by Cervantes
One (1) Orange
One (1) Men's Manicure Set
One (1) Large Tin of Holiday Treats of Some Kind
One (1) Auto Safety Kit
Two (2) Sweaters

Four (4) Complete Charles Dickens Novels (Great Expectations, Hard Times, A Christmas Carol, and A Tale of Two Cities)
Season Eleven (11) of "M*A*S*H" on DVD

Among other things that I'm probably forgetting.

It would be cool to make an adventure game mockup in which the inventory is your list of Christmas gifts.

Seems like all of you got really cool presents!

Well, after I crashed the family's (pink) car, all I got was bowl.

But it's cool, I'll use it to eat cereals, it's my new thang.

Actually, I also got some money from my aunt. That was cool and in time of need. And I bought some simple presents to my family. I actually remembered this year.

Peace out.

Indeed, I will be going on a diet when all the chocolates are eaten!
And the pringles.
And the biscuits.
