"His Dark Materials" is a great, great trilogy. Highly reccomend them. I'm not hugely into fiction (so much formulaic crap...), as a rule, but I really enjoyed those books.

Xmas stuff: I got me an eleectric geeeeeeetar - a strat. First solid body I've owned in about nine years of playing, so I'm kinda excited. Other cool things include the freebee backpack that came with the guitar, with built in speakers that you can plug the guitar into...so yes, I can walk around playing guitar through my backpack <_< >_>. Another thing which I count as a gift is the fact that it SNOWED at last. No more brown christmas, and I might get to have a ski season! woooo.

10 pound ankle/wrist weights (I don't know why, but I wanted these too!)

And a few more weird gifts that everybody gets for christmas, like clothes.

- The chance to chill with my mates again, who I havnet seen in many many months.

Not sarcasm...new hampshire has had a terrible winter so far. And I can't even go look for man-made snow, since I'm a nordic skiier :(

yeah us New Englanders have had an odd december. barely any snow, mainly rain and above average temps, tbh im confused. But its better than continuous nor'easters and being snowed in all winter (seeing as my house lacks real food of anykind cept sweets i could get kinda hungry)

i have a feeling were gonna get hit in Feb though since thats how New England weather works:

1. The weather is really nice for a while but then turns horrible

or

2. It sucks badly at first but eventually turns out to be nice

All in All i blame El Nino... someone needs to discipline that child what with him causing all these problems...

Fear Extraction Point
A hovering, remote control UFO (believe me...its AS COOL AS IT SOUNDS!)
Mythbusters seasons 1 AND 2
Hellsing Ultimate (The only problem is they changed Alucards name to Arucard. What the FLIP! Arucard=not cool. Alucard = Dracula = FTW!)
A Wallet! With MONEY IN IT!
A watch!
A custom mix by my Aunt Ruth, called the "Anti-Ruth Mix for <name withheld>". Its got songs like ├óÔé¼┼ôThey're Coming to Take Me Away├óÔé¼┬Ø by NapolionXII and ├óÔé¼┼ôyawA em ekaT ot gnimoC er'yehT├óÔé¼┬Ø by IIXnoilopaN and the downright disturbing "Attack of the Clonf@#$er"

(Any song that has the words: "It's like humping a mirror" Is wrong...just wrong)

And...finally, from my friends at TA Spring I got Gundam 1.1 and E and E 1.7something or other.

And from the start of this Thread...well he knows what he gave me. And it's as exciting as my remot control UFO.
