Posted: 12/8/04 at 3:18pmDid everyone get iPods? I know, like, ten people who got iPods. It's creepy.

No offense, but this thread just screams "I got nicer presents than you" pissing contest. I'm sure that wasn't your intent, but come on. Holiday spirit, anyone? It shouldn't be about how many presents you got and how expensive they were.
Chag Sameach. :)

Posted: 12/8/04 at 3:34pmI have a better question wickedphantom. What did YOU give to someone?
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Posted: 12/8/04 at 3:51pmI'm sure wickedphantom gave as well as received. But seriously, it shouldn't be about the presents.

I got posters from Rent, Les Mis, Phantom, Aida and Lion King 
(one each from my dad and the rest of the jewish side of my family)
I also have a birthday and christmas coming up... ah the joys of december 
I know its not all about the presents, and I don't like it when people assume that just because I am part jewish and part christian that I get tons of gifts, because I don't. My parents plan it so that it all evens out, and my extended family usually sends one nice present to count for hannukah, christmas, and my birthday...
Anyways... happy holidays
Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do...
RIP Jason

Damn, emcee! My parents must hate me! *cries* I've only gotten yarn to knit my sister a scarf (she's tricky), Jon Stewart's book from my Dad, and a request from my mom if she can keep the money my grandmother sent me.
*sigh*

Posted: 12/10/04 at 11:42pmNo worries, Wickedphantom. You didn't offend anyone. Posters here like to make mountains out of mole holes. And boy, was this a mole hill. All the person did was ask what anyone else got. Geesh.

No mountains here. Just frayed nerves and a bit of a sensitivity to those sorts of questions for reasons of my own.
ETA- I have no problem with any poster here. Seriously. Chag Sameach to everyone. :)

Posted: 12/11/04 at 12:25amOh, fine. I'm just sitting here on the opposite end of the country from my family, wallowing in self-pity and something else...what was that called? Oh, yeah, independance! *does happy-but-poor dance*
