Comments
I got 3 shirts that wouldn't fit me.
A jacket and pants that look like space suits. (I ripped those pants when I put them on and started jumping around my room <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )
I think my relatives still think I'm 12, judging from the size of clothing they are sending me.
some chocolate, a blanket (it's cold in my room!), socks, shirts, underwear from mom
A heart shaped pillow with "I love you" text on it, and body paint sauce from my girlfriend <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ya, but i was thinking more like P4 3.0 GHZ. The new amd isnt really worth it right now. No games use the technology. A 3.0 GHz should be enough speed to last till next christmas=). I hope ill just have to upgrade the vid card. Not sure when we will get the new PC. When i do ill be sure to brag about it. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Bah, a Powershot A70..I had it(you will want a boost in optical zoom, trust me.) Nice cam but i needed something better!(BTW!! You *NEED* to get rechargable batterys for your digital cam, Powershota70 eats regular batterys in about 1 hour and it takes nearly 6hours with rechargable.)
So i recieved a Kodak DX6490(4MegaPix,10x optical zoom) The total came nearly 700$ with tax so thats all i got <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Dont you mean Cologne?
Edit: And instead of criticizing what people got, why don't you just shut up?
Salomon 1080's, 171cm - $350
DaBello boots - $250
Look Jib bindings - $170
Season pass to local ski hill - $459
Hitting that perfect jib and landing a stylish 540 safety... Priceless. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
