..Yeah, I'm pretty god damned spoiled.

Y'know what's sick? This was one of my least spoiled years. My dad goes into a frenzy around birthdays and Christmas. He has some kind of deep-seated fear that he never gives us enough presents, so he gives us too many instead.

This year I set him all wonky though. I barely asked for anything. Any time he suggested something I was like "I neither need nor want that." So he got me fewer things this year and the things he did get were awesome gifts. Also,
A. No one was hospitalized this year at Xmas,
B. Everyone was present (plus one, my brother's girlfriend has basically become part of the family),
C. No one had a meltdown. No one. It was frigging amazing.
D. We all got along, and
E. People got what they wanted. There was an absolute minimum of bitching.

Rocking Xmas. It's over now. Dammit. It's been over for days. Xmas break ends in four days and fifty-five minutes. Some people get depressed at the holidays. I get depressed after them.

EDIT: Sorry, just had to add something really funny. I've recently developed an increased sensitivity to light whilst I sleep, hence last night I took some antihistamine pills to help me sleep in lieu of a sleep mask, one of which I have yet to find at local retail outlets. Just now I took another two tablets. Upon swallowing them I realized I'd taken a sip of Cherry Coke to wash them down. Hmm. Benadryl to help me sleep, washed down with Coca Cola. Laugh my freaking ass off.

Dude that book is da bomb

It's called a light gun, stupid.

OOOOHHHH........I'm telling....lol....kidding.... but that would be cool using that to kill zombies

I don't like those lightguns, mostly they're bad quality and you can't aim properly. If people want to play an arcade game with an arcadse style lightgun, I don't see why they can't just go to an actual arcade.

Dark. Good god. That's a hell of a lot of video games.

ROFL, I'd forgotten that you call them "pyjamas" over there. Teh heh heh.

Is it? I've only read one thing by Barker, that being The Thief of Always, which is one of the best books I have read in my entire freaking life. And I've seen Candyman, which kicked ass.

And I got a Jester hackysack. Pretty frickin' ugly one, but oh well.

Maybe because the nearest arcade is an hours drive away, like me?

But I don't like them either. :p

And Raisin, what the hell do you call them? Seriously, I'm really trying to think here, but all I can think of is "Bart! It's time to put on your Jammyjams!" from The Simpsons.

Well this is delayed but here goes ;) ::

MP3 Player (nothing to put on the bugger since i fragged my main rig)
New case (for meh computer)
Clothes, shoes, earring etc.

I managed to score:

-clothes
-stuff for my instrument
-a Latin-English dictionary (needed one for school)

That's all I can think of. The laptop was the main thing though. And it's pretty awesome I have to say. :)

In the U.S. they're called "pajamas" (pah-JAH-mahs).

That's basically how we say it. It's just you change the spellings so that hillbillies and Government leaders can pronounce and spell words like "colour", "color". And "Aluminium" is pronounced (Al-oo-min-um) instead of (Al-oo-min-ee-um).

Agreed, Rich.

And some of you bastards a spoilt.

Yeah, I noticed that. You should either get good stuff or money. Not both in large amounts.

I prefer the cash usually.

You like me. I would perfer money than anything

Bah, that's so impersonal. If somebody really can't figure out what to get me cash or gift cards are fine, but if they know me well enough I prefer a really thoughtful gift.

Jeez. All my life I've consoled myself about my lack of Christmas presents by telling myself that they're usually crap. But you guys are making me jealous.

Right thats it; I'm converting. ;)

What exactly do you mean by telling us that the Xbox is "new"? Do you mean that it replaces an old or broken one, or are you just simply re-assuring your adoring fans that you don't take no second hand shit?

It's replacing a broken one. He's mentioned it before.
