Went well...nothing extraordinary as far as Christmas goes...but free stuff, per normal.
My parents gave me a 20 inch flat screen CRT which I've been needing badly (I've been stuck with something around 11 inches, German...all the wrong connections, loose adapters everywhere), a huge electric blanket (no more cold sheets when I get home from work!), a VERY rare CD--"The Hurt Inside, A String Quartet Tribute to Korn" which is absolutely amazing, a small screwdriver set (badly needed) and a membership to Korn Kamp. I accumulated $200 from cousins and grandparents. Gave my sister the Sims 2, and my brother some GBA games. Gave my dad a cigarrette lighter powered air compressor and my mom the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. I gave my cousin seasons 1 and 2 of Seinfeld ("Dude, this is the greatest present ever!!)And I got to drive the '04 around a lot and listen to my new CD with the Bose system.I'll put the $200 toward my laptop fund, and I should have enough for a pimp-tastic, Half Life 2 rockin' FX53-powered one when I get my tax refund.My friend gave me a shirt that says "People like you are the reason people like me need medication." I love it. I bought her "The Sims 2" but it's locked in the Max which is locked in a transmission shop parking enclosure, and the shop is closed until January--DAMMIT!
It was my first Christmas living in my own place, but I stayed with the family (they live about 10 minutes away). My grandparents were staying in what used to be my room, so I got to sleep on the floor. It was still nice to be there for a while, though (even though I'm probably there twice a week anyway for one reason or another).
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
The "quote", "reply", "post" and other buttons are GONE! I can still click them, and the shortcut still appears in the status bar on the bottom of the firefox window, but the visuals are not there....how irritating...
