The Looting

[alexmegami]

I'm not quite done getting my gifts yet (ahhhh, the joys of having a divorced family, though they are few and far between), but so far, I have gotten:

-monstrous amounts of chocolate
-Bailey's Minis
-a unicorn figurine
-Monstrous Regiment (which I think is Terry Pratchett realizing there are like twice as many men as women in all his other books and making up for it ;) but I love it)
-Hoobastank's "The Reason"
-The Barenaked Ladies' "Everything to Everyone"
-Various Artists, "Italo-Euro Hits"
-a mini Tarot deck (Rider, because my mom thinks it'll help me learn the symbolism better, with explanation booklet)
-three shirts, all black, more stylish than I ever would have bought (and one is just a turtleneck)
-Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" (why, Grandma, why...)
-a calendar of wild creatures
-a soft but kind of weird-feeling new blanket (it feels like movable styrofoam covered in that fuzzy material...)
-a book of quoatable Twain
-a reading light
-$180, so far

"Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person." -Mark Twain's Notebook, 1898

Dude... I'm so sorry. Though it was the second most enjoyed book taught in my growing up in fiction class, and really... not that great. Ah well, there's always a bad egg, right?

*hugs* Peace!

I got Everything to Everyone, too... I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop since I got home at 2. It's now just about 4:40.

Brilliance, as usual.
