Lemme see....

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 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> )

I think my relatives still think I'm 12, judging from the size of clothing they are sending me.

Coby · December 2003

Really neat, light boxing gloves from my big brother
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 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>
ermmm cash from other relatives
with the cash I bought Sennheiser neckband headphones and a System of a down wall flag <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Teh flag (and on the right you can see a part of the boxing bag in my room..)

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. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

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 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Oh wow. You got one 700 dollar gift. Yeah! That's so terrible! Why don't you go cry over it! OH NO! I ONLY GOT ONE 700 DOLLAR GIFT! -SNIFF- I'M SO SAD.

Edit: And instead of criticizing what people got, why don't you just shut up?

Cr-ck · December 2003

Seems like you got a bag of coal. Its okay. Relax.

pardzh · December 2003

A pair of Dragon MDX goggles - $49
Salomon 1080's, 171cm - $350

Well, not all are as fortunate as others testament.

Don't let what other people have bring you down...It'll just show how "less spoiled" of a person you and build character (really??) <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Testament · December 2003

I don't care what other people have. I just don't like how some people complain when they obviously get nice gifts.

Getting Unreal 2 Special Edition, didn't get here in time for x-mas. I got quite of a lot of money ot spend, too, so I'll buy some more stuff when I get home from Virginia.
