My loot so far:
-Transormers: The Movie (best bad movie ever!) -Given to me by LLG along with some crazy foreign gum.
-Burn Up: Scramble vol. 1
-Baten Kaitos.
-Metroid Prime (Because someone neglected the "2: Echos" on my list, and simultaneously forgot the hours and hours I spent on the first one).
-Megatokyo NPC shirt.
-Clothing that I'll lump into one convenient group.
-Loads and loads of candy (par for the course).
-Sturdy boxes for ready containment of large amounts of Magic cards ("Oh, an empty box? What a great gift!).
And I still have my dad's house to go to.

Not a lot of volume this year, but the highlight is the Sony camcorder that I got. Tis SWANK. So swank, she needs a name. I need to think of a good name. (My iPod is named Olaf (Becasue of it's Euro-white color scheme, it has the first "european" name that came to mind), my computer is named Knives (the bastard brother of Vash the Stampede), and so I need to think of an appropriate name for my camera.)
Aside from that, just a little money and a hoody from my uncles.
But with the camera, I can start making video goodness the likes of which is just awesometastic. Maybe I'll figure out a way to show some of you some of the stuff that I did last year in my video production class. ^_^

Two shirts from girlfriend's family (which are too large for me, and i don't wear those kinds of shirts anymore).
A very nice wallet from my girlfriend (which i enjoy it's leathery scent) I also currently have $0 in it.
And a $15 gift card from best buy (which I used to buy my my father the first gift I've ever given him, the small George Forman Grill)
Yeah, well at least i got something. The gift to my dad was the vesel to make him feel guilty so maybe he'll buy me the new guitar I want/need.....
I mean he spent $300 on my little brother cause he suddenly wanted to play bass, I'm struggling with equipment in my band and he wont even consider spending a cent on me.
peace
