She's also a chain smoker who always gives smoke-smelling clothes as presents).
- $90 and a Starbucks giftcard from my parents.
- The usual assortment of lotions and a photo album from my cousin, Carrie.
- $25 Victoria's Secret giftcard from Aunt Evelyn (She's given me VS cards for the past 3 Christmases and I have yet to use any of them. Nothing ever fits there. )

So to add to my above list since I've been spending some time out here with Brandon's family:
- Heroes Season 1 box set from Brandon (and a day trip to Tombstone which was AWESOME).
- Two tickets to see any movie at a Regal Theaters (Edwards, United Artists, etc) from his aunt Michelle.
- Two pairs of pajama pants and a pair of slippers and a CD case from Brandon's mom (she made all of it).
- Two 3/4-sleeve shirts, also from Brandon's mom but she bought those.

Pretty nice.

I really didn't expect much because I get stuff periodically throughout the year, but my grandmother give me $100. I was surprised since she does stuff for me already.

Hey all, just checking in from Phoenix, Arizona on Zoso's grandmother's computer. It's about the temperature one would expect just before it's going to snow or something (checking the current medi outlets in the area, the temp at the moment is 30 degrees F. Yeah, not very low compared with where a lot of you are, but the Cali people I'm with a crying their eyes out it's so cold).

This Christmas was pretty sweet. My cousin and her husband from Sacramento came down to visit with her three children. In our culture they're considered my nephews and niece (not just second cousins) and I hardly ever get to see them, so it was really nice.

Their oldest son, who's going on 13 in a week, wanted to see L.A. since he never gets to when he visits so we showed him around town on Christmas eve. He's somewhat sheltered and had never really seen bars on windows or homeless people rioting for blankets and soup at shelters. He was definitely wowed a few times.

Since we spent a good amount of time running around Little Tokyo looking for some manga he'd been wanting and since he seemed into Naruto I gave him a few of the DVDs.

His sister's really into Harry Potter, so I gave her my leather-bound collector's edition of the first book.

That's all I know of so far. I think my grandmother is giving me a check and I haven't opened any presents here in Arizona yet. I'm pretty sure I'm getting pajama pants Brandon's grandmother made and possibly a quilt that his mother made.

Brandon and I are going to wait for each other's birthdays (both of us are next month) to do anything for each other. Although I suppose you could count our presents to each other as going on a couple road trips together before the year's out.

I actually got gifts!

Well, more like family "Hand me downs" Like my Aunt Cathy got me a little gamer chair and a small table to put some stuff on, which is actually what I have been wanting to be honest. My TV is in front of my Bed, and it sucks playing games on it.

Also, WORK FUCKING BLEW!

Im just glad its over though. That 10 hours of non-stop people coming in pissed because they cant fucking grasp the Idea that WAFFLE HOUSE IS THE ONLY FUCKING GODAMN FAST FOOD JOINT OPEN ON CHRISTMAS. OF COURSE THERE IS GONNA BE PEOPLE!

Which reminds me, Im amazed by the amount of jackoffs there. How come people spend time there rather than at home cooking things? There were people there with their gifts, and not once did I see someone with a PS3. It made me happy that I got one with my OWN money WEEKS before Christmas. (Not like ppl bringing in their consoles, but like 7 kids had Xbox360 booklets and stuff talking about how awesome Halo 3 is gonna be. Oh.......I dont wanna say nothing.)

Anyways, I have the next 5 days off, and im VERY happy im home. I made about 60 bucks in tips, but the majority of that money is going to my Grandmother and some food I want cooked for a late Christmas Dinner.

And if I can see mom today, Ill be one happy camper.

PS- Im thinking of getting CoD4. But im so addicted to Warhawk (And Godly with UT3) that maybe another FPS game in my collection will be...too much? I mean, I have not even TOUCHED Team fortress 2 yet. But Warhawk and UT3? Nigga please...

Edit AGAIN- Xeo, whenever you get a PS3, or ANYONE. Get Warhawk. Seriously, its a load of fun. (Im no General, no one is yet, but im pretty fucking high -Rank 11,809 *Cough* out of 300k)

CoD4 is INSANELY amazing. It's like Counter Strike with awesomeness + 9,999. Once I really got into it, I can't go back to Halo 3 at all ... it's embarassing on Bungie's part (since they came out around the same time), because CoD4 just blows Halo 3 out of the water in terms of graphics, gameplay, and everything. It makes Halo 3 look so dated and you'll notice a chunky framerate by switching between the two games right away like I have a few times.

Basically, CoD4 is true next gen. Halo 3 is weak sauce.

Nagis: Same here, probably half my 360 collection is FPS's.

On topic, I got probably like ~$300 worth of gift cards and money basically. Random clothes, etc. Not bad I guess. I feel a little bad for being 20 and getting nobody anything, but I'm jobless at the moment so I feel I need to hold unto most of my money right now.

I'm also getting some other little bits, although I've been given no more specific details than that.

Dude Call of Duty 4.


Amen to that. But my collection, so far, is nothing but FPS games...I want something different...

I have absolutely no idea. I know my biggest gift was the train ticket to see Siobhan. That was a chunky load. Otherwise, I didn't even write a single thing for Christmas, I had know idea what I'd want.

So, who knows.

Merry Christmas, guys.

That's the first game I'm gonna save up for.

Played it round a friends, I love the arcade style mode that's a little like Time Crisis style games, but you choose where you move to.

That and playing a deathmatch on a tiny level was fun.

I think I am getting new pants. I know that I got some bath & body works stuff, $50, and the box set of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. I also think I am getting the Serj Tankian (sp?) CD, a video game, and other stuff that I have no frickin' clue about.

I will edit tomorrow to include full details unless someone else posts after me.
