#17
I didn't ask for anything, since I couldn't think of anything I wanted or needed.
So my dad got me a personal GPS, which I suppose will come in handy during the summer. Until then I get to have fun wandering the woods and seeing how far away from what highway I am. Wee!
#18
YAY! I got an Iain M. Banks' "State of the art" English copy... I hope it is good... them foreign books ain't cheap... but I guess the walkman was more expensive.
6 boxes of clothing from Hot Topic, A potatoe, boxers, socks, A chain, A trench coat, EVE=Online the game, And some money !!
Hot Topic, hahahaha. Funny stuff.

#21
A pair of combat boots, cash from me family back home, (which will suffer with exchange rates), Prince of Persia for PC, some stuff for the PS2, and coupons (CD/video/games store, and cinema).
Giving myself a new monitor (well not really; i ordered it 2 months ago, won't get it till January, so i'll call it an x-mas gift...)
Might get some more stuff I can add to the list once i change the cash into euros (and lose 20%).
Not too bad a haul really...
#22
Joreit Admiral, did whoever bought you EVE Online realize you have to pay a hefty monthly fee to play?
Tons of useless clothes i'll never wear, 151 peice craftsman tool set, lots of other useless random stuff, 4 alkaline trio cd's, a wall scroll of "ayoi" from ... cant spell that anime, uh... a gameboy advance sp so i wont be bored at work anymore (but no games, Whats up with that?!), and a crapload of ants in my room, BLAH!
#24
motiv-8, you put a lot of '?'s after clothes from Abercrombie and yet not after cologne. I tend to see them under the same type of thing.
Can anyone help me decide what to do with my money (I have a couple hundred). I was thinking of getting an Audigy 2, a new speaker system (What kind should I get?) and a nice big gift for my girlfriend (I was thinking full DVD set of Fawlty Towers show). But is that a good way of spending it? Well at least some suggestions on the speaker system for computer (At least 5.1), and is the Audigy 2 ZS better than the normal Audigy 2 (ignore the platinum fancy stuff, I don't record music or anything).
#25
Elephant, if you ask this question in the Technical Discussion Forum, you will probably make ionfish one happy moderator...
GBA SP (finally, I can see the pixelated world of Ivalice without a sunlamp), Mario Party 5 (bleh) and a $30 Gamestop gift card (just as well -- I only really have time for GBA games anyway). A new pillow (with the tempur-pedic NASA foam), a leather jacket for some random university (sent by one of my long-lost aunts), cologne, aftershave, shampoo etc. Darwin Awards 3, among other books.
One of my friends knew I liked jazz and R&B -- so he apparently...procured...20 songs of those genres and made a CDR, which turned out to be one of my favorite presents. He also gave me a large styrofoam block, that bastard.

the amount of money I got far exceeds the cost of the gifts I gave but these days I find the pleasure of giving interesting things outweighs the pleasure of receiving any amount of money

We're adding a second floor and remodelling the bottom floor, so I didn't get any presents this year. except I got SOCOM 2 yesterday for compinsation. oh yeah and FFX-2 about a month ago as an early christmas gift.
#50
The biggest was probabally a $500-dollar stock portfolio from my grandparents, to help pay for college. I also got Homeworld 2, Sim City 4, a Fountains of Wayne CD, a G Love & Special Sauce CD, A dictionary, a dictionary of quotations, some gift cards to Best Buy, and possibly more (I haven't unrapped all my presents yet- don't ask, wierd family tradition).
I thought it was pretty good this year. I'm gonna have to go spend some of that gift cash to buy Investing for Dummies, I'm-a thinkin'.
