    A reminder of how much I hate Christmas, how much I enjoy my solitude, and how I'll do anything to get Christmas day alone with myself.

    A nifty headset (<a href="http://www.edimensional.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=30" target="_blank">eDimensional Audio FX</a>, it has force feedback :3 )

    A handful of books, the most notable being the D20 Modern core rulebook, as well as the related Urban Arcana.

    A note to the effect that Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is going to be a late christmas present.

    A little mechanical windup desk toy thing that does a wierd spasmy dance thing.

    A few Pacman-related buttons.

    It's my belief that most people on these forums shouldn't be allowed knives, least of all a multitool with about 4 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    I did well considering all i asked for was a cheap DVD player... I got a DVD recorder, clothes, portable speakers, booze, toiletries + pack of dusters (My Gran has decided I never clean) and a Spy experience day. Apparently I get taught hand to hand combat, weaponry, basic bomb disposal and stealth.

    I don't do presents at Xmas. I don't give and refuse to receive, I'm opposed to this commercial Xmas buy/present hype. Besides, everything is always more expensive during Xmas craze then in other seasons anyway.

    Just a good ol' get together at newyears eve is all I want at the end of a year... That and see amateurs have fun with their explosives. Still a dangerous combo if ya ask me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    I got Rainbow Six: Vegas and Splinter Cell: Double Agent (both for 360). Superman Returns on DVD. I also got an awesome carrying case for one of my Guitar Hero controllers. $50 cash, $50 in best buy gift cards, $20 wal-mart card. A pretty good haul.

    Also <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99599" target="_blank">this</a> wonderful moment.

    Got some bottles of good french red wine, a bottle of whiskey, some clothes, and a pair of... shoes. I'm unemployed so i never buy any clothes (i don't care about dressing properly anyway), but my family doesnt like to see me wander around in rags, apparently... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Problem is the shoes is a pair of "Heelys" so i'm now a 28 years old nerd with wheeled-shoes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />
