MERRY CHRISTMAS F-LIST! ♥

I hope you all had an awesome day and had visions of sugarplums dancing in your head. I don't think any danced in my head, because I passed out way early and actually didn't wake up until nine this morning. A record for me. Usually I'm way excited and get up too early Christmas morning. xD

I GOT PRESENTSSSSSSSSS





Oh my gooooooooodness.

MY AWESOME PRESENTS:

- Makeup, including enough nail polish to last me a lifetime
- CANDYYYY
- Body sprays (when I opened the third one, I gave my dad a o_O look and asked, "WHAT, DO I SMELL OR SOMETHING" and he just laughed at me. And didn't answer. >>)
- Underwear that's not in the picture because I don't want my underwear all over LJ (even thought it's really awesome |D)
- My new favorite T-shirt based on a Natalie Dee comic that I can't seem to find
- Nightmare Before Christmas PJ set
- An FFX shirt - it took me forever to work out what the heck was on it, but I thiiiink it's Braska's Final Aeon? vOv
- Paintbrushes from my sister, because I mentioned that I made all of my Cosmos armor with ONE paintbrush.
- Makeup brushes! Also from my sister!
- 'Time Stranger Kyoto' series
- Absolute Boyfriend 3 from my friend Diana
- The ninth Princess Diaries book
- The FFXII strategy guide
- Amano artbook! *_______________*
- 'Final Fantasy and Philosophy' which looks hilarious xD
- Final Fantasy, PSP version (I was playing it earlier and my FREAKING ANALOG STICK BROKE! ;lkajsdf The flat thingy on top came off and I have no clue where it went. It still works, but arrrguh.)
- Final Fantasy II
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows game for PS3
- Blue-ray of 'Enchanted'
- Supernatural season 4
- Aqua wig!
- Another Kingdom Hearts Snuggie. This is the third Snuggie I've received as a present in the past two years. I think I complain about being cold too much. xD
- Walmart and Amazon gift cards
- A new MP3 player!
- A mothertrucking KINDLE!

The Kindle was my 'open last' present, which is usually the most awesome thing/thing we've wanted the most...which makes me feel really guilty when I say I have no idea what to think about the Kindle. I feel so bad since the look on my dad's face was so excited when I opened it and it obvious he couldn't wait to give it to me. ^^;

But I don't know. I loooove reading - probably even more than gaming, GASP - but I'm not sure how I feel about reading books on a screen. The only thing I like reading on a screen is fanfic, and that's just because I don't want to waste all of the ink in the printer.

Plus, the downloadable books? Soooooooo expensive. Well, maybe not to some people, but when you don't have a job, even just eight dollars is a fortune. I looked up a Sarah Dessen book I've been wanting to read for ages and it was nineteen dollars. Nineteen! I usually buy all of my books used, so this just made my head explode. The Amazon gift card is supposed to be for Kindle books, but I don't know. I can't really justify spending so much money when I don't have the physical book in my hand. For nineteen dollars, I could easily get three used books in great condition instead of just one.

Ahhh, I don't mean to sound spoiled since it's a freaking epic gift and I honestly wasn't expecting it. I was pretty much, "A;LSKDJF;LWIAJF;ALISDJF OMG" when I opened it. xDD I dunno. Am I being cheap about it? I realize that books have gotten on the expensive side over the years, but when you're jobless...I dunno. I seriously can't wrap my head around it. I might like the Kindle more if I could get books at a discount or something. vOv

But I'm going to try it out! I've downloaded a few free ones that sound interesting, so I'll give that a whirl and see how I like reading on a screen. \o/

Also, I CAN FINALLY GET THROUGH FFXII AGAIN YESSSSSSSSSS STRATEGY GUIDE ILU

I have kept you from merriment long enough! GO EAT SOME CHEESE OR CHOCOLATE OR WHATEVER YOU ALL EAT ON THE HOLIDAYS ♥
