Santa was very good to me this year, and to my Gamecube! Mike and I went into the holiday with three games and came out with 8! Sweet! I was very blessed this holiday.
From my parents I got a gift card to Victoria’s Secret for $50, Geisha: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki, The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro (which I have already finished reading), Mario Kart: Double Dash for Gamecube, this Jane Austen six book box set, and these sketchers shoes.
From Mike’s parents I got pink Bicycle playing cards, a jeweled barett clip thing, this tank top that says South Beach in Silver and has sequins along the neckline, this brown sweater thing, a Rip Curl silky jacket with brown faux fur along the hood, and this fleece pajama set, except mine is red with white snowflakes.
Our friend Jorge got me a Kuronekosama bobblehead, Maz got me Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life as did Greg and Kristin, so I traded Maz’s in for Mario Party 7!, which is really fun so far. Greg and Kristin also go me The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and I’ve been addicted since I started playing, hehe. My brother Chris bought me a platinum Something Awful forums account, which he said he was going to get me last year but never did haha. My sister Teresa and her boyfriend Dustin got me the Bend it like Beckham DVD, $20 gift certificate to a salon nearby, a butterfly jewelled barret and… Snowman poop. Teresa wrapped the snowman poop and once I opened it, she laughed at my disappointed face lol and then gave me my real presents. What a sweet sister!! :smirk:
Now, the moment you all have been waiting for… what my lovely Mike got me for Christmas!! He got me the VS flannel pajama, only mine is black with pink stars on it and matching slippers aww. Also he got me a pair of jeans and this digital angel tee . I was surprised he didn’t get me the “I’m blogging this” tee, haha.
On {DMB} we also did a Secret Santa gift exchange. These are the gifts I received:

One day when I was visiting Vanessa up at LMU she was telling me how her room is really plain. So I thought for Christmas I would try to get her something to jazz up her room. But was still thrifty as I am a poor student hehe. Finally I came up with a solution: a memoboard! It’s like a fancy bulletin board with ribbons and buttons and shit on it. So I bought some adorable Dora the Explorer fabric (she has a Dora pillowcase) and go to town! This is what I came up with:
It has red ribbons with purple star buttons at the intersections.
Hope she likes it. :oops: She’s not quite as obsessed with cute things and pink as I am, but I tried to make it as tame as possible hehe.
She got me this really cute cami and sweater from American Eagle:
And Maz got me Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life. My boss gave me a $50 American Express gift card. :nosey: I was really surprised. Right now I’m going to Mike’s to open presents with his family. I’m so excited!! :cheerful:

We got him last Saturday, isn’t he precious? He was $99 and came with Super Smash Bros Melee and one controller. A couple days later I bought the second controller and a memory card. Last Wednesday we went to buy a game and came back with HairPo. So far I think I like it more than Mike. I’m playing as Hermione. :oops:
Does anybody have any game reccomendations?
