    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Also, I guess I should mention what I got people.


    For my dad: He recently finished writing a mystery novel, which he's self-publishing. The main character has a plane. Specifically, an old L-39 Albatros. I bought him a kit for a model of one, which I'll build with him. Fun will be had.


    My mom wanted a book, but it wasn't going to arrive on time. I ordered it, but also made a black-and-gold chainmaille necklace so she'd have something to unwrap (thanks to Nova for picking the covers).

    We give gifts for New Year, not Christmas. And Christmas is on the 7th of January.

    GMH - you know little things like toy mice or crinkle balls that cats like to smack around.

    @Alkthash: Well, do you have a cat?

  • AlkthashAlkthash
    I'm a damn twisted person
    Yes two of them, but it's still a lame gift. I mean they cost like 1-3 dollars a pop. If I want more for the cats ill just get something.

    We used to get cat toys as presents...for the cats.

    @Alkthash: Just looked at your gift list again.



    -body wash and deodorant(everybody got this. I think they must have had a coupon or something)



    I get those all the time. It's basically the lazy "utilitarian" gift, when you really can't decide what to buy somebody and end up choosing something that you know they won't dislike and will find useful.

    Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!

    Incidentally, I also got this huge gift box of Axe (Lynx in Europe I believe) products from my parents, on the basis that I use their hair products I must like everything else they sell. :/

    I don't know, it's also called Axe in Serbia.

    Got to sit through three hours of my family rambling about their insane political conspiracy theories and racist ideas of "how it should be."


    . . . and the classic Christmas gift, the itchy sweater.

    And thanks to White Elephant hijinks I can add socks, towels, a backsratcher and a get well cold preparedness kit. Towels are useful enough since they go with my bathroom rugs but eh, just lame gifts this year.

    Bluh, I just need to listen to Father Chritmas a few times to stop whining.

    I cooked Christmas dinner and was surprised by a whole slew of people coming over to eat it.


    Also I got this zombie Art of War thing, and while I do feel zombies are a wee played-out, the book was very nicely bound with a rubber band to hold it in, a ribbon bookmark, parchment-style graphics and really nice artwork.

    Malk, do you have a steam account?

  • MrWMrW

    After last morning, I also got a bunch of gift cards, which I spent online on an LPO album, Resident Evil Revelations for 3DS and a wired 360 controller for my steam games and emulators. And I also got ParaNorman and a Hubble calendar from my amazing aunt. And also 20 bucks, which will probably either go towards Steam sales or a belated gift.

    Hey, we can be trade buddies.


    You got a Magby yet? I can grab an Elekid with a good nature.

    Well, I got (all from my dad):



    • A 64GB iPad with Retinal Display.

    • A R2000 iTunes gift card.

    • A pre-order thingy for the South Korean movie Bleak Night from rightstuf (weird coincidence, he saw it at a film festival and thought I would like it, which I do).

    • To spend the day at the Christmas Party from hell with both sets of grandparents.

    • To hang out with my dad and watch all the depressing Christmas news.

    The hell is retinal display?

    Buzzwords.  It's actually just a high-definition LCD screen.
