I'm afraid I would lose a Waterman too easily . Turntable and vinyl, extra nice. Watch and knife, cool. Other misc things, also cool. And proud of it! Goodness, I hope I don't lose it. I've been wanting a fountain pen for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Extreme Makeover not too long ago and found it simultaneously hilarious and slightly horrifying. I should write a full review of it, in fact... In other news, I am the proud new owner of White Sand, Vol 1! Other things I'm very happy to have received for Christmas include a 2017 calendar full of excellent bird photography, the Doctor Strange movie soundtrack, Lindsey Stirling's album Brave Enough, a Kylo Ren T-shirt, a Christmas ornament of an alligator in beach attire (to remember my family's vacation to Florida this month), and the Piano Guys album Uncharted. But easily the best Christmas gift of all was having an hour-long Skype call with my brother Ryan, who is currently serving a Mormon religious mission in Serbia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are you a girl/guy, and is it long or short hair? My sisters have died their hair many different colors, so I'm curious how it looks. (I would consider it, but that's not really my personality and I like to sing with the worship team at church, who wouldn't kick me out or anything, but I would feel self-conscious). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to dig around the thread to find them. I was, at least, kind enough to put them all in one post and under a spoiler cut. But IIRC, there are quite a few pictures in there. I will also neither confirm nor deny whether there are pictures of me in my Cosplay thread. ETA: Wait, did I really only put one picture of that up in there? WAIT!

Oversleep Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I got loudspeakers (quite a good ones if I were to believe my dad and I do cause he knows stuff), Promise of Blood by McClellan (read it! Like seriously, go read it), Deadpool (film), Blade Runner (book) and some cash. There's a story or two there: My mother usually steals books from me. So I feed her the good stuff (like cosmere). Anyway, my parents kept bugging me about my list of presents for weeks and when I told them I'd want some of the Dresden Files or the Manuscript found in dragon's cave (it's a fantasy encyclopedic compendium by Sapkowski, author of the Witcher) they told me it's pathetic (it was not serious, we joke like that). In return I told them that their lists are also pathetic; like, dad, seriously, two music albums? we always buy you music. Mom's was worse, like "good book, you know what I like" or a good music or a handbag (which we keep giving her for Christmas). So I went and started thinking hard and added Superhot to the list and first volume of Sandman. Meanwhile I did some research and proposed to buy mom Promise of Blood. Did not work out but then it turned out that my aunt could not get Wise Man's Fear... so I said Promise of Blood would be fine. So I ended up with something I wanted to buy for mom. And now, for the punchline: my parents have already bought me loudspeakers even before they started nagging me for my list. They kept bugging me just for sport, all that time. Nobody in my family is normal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv he/him Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I got a beautiful, illustrated edition of Game of Thrones, new headphones to replace the ones my cats destroyed by chewing on the cable I also got a WiFi adapter, because my current one is acting strange and disconnecting me from time to time.

Kestrel she/her Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) We had a pizza party today for a family who won a silent auction. They got to eat with the birds. We called it Pizza with Pippin (one of the ed birds). Pippin was the host and sat near the table. He was served with the guests, his mice on a plate and napkin. He was weary of the plate. Once dinner began, though, me and a few other volunteers rotated birds around. I had Sweetpea, Rusty, and Willie. Sweets did okay, considering that her and I don't like each other. Willie was a different story. I had never worked with her before and she isn't flighted. She ended up hopping off the fist and couldn't get back up and I couldn't swing her back because I had no idea how the center coordiator wanted me to do it compared to my falconry sponsor (which is also done with a flighted bird). I also didn't know Rusty liked to play dead in his travel box and that was an adventure. (Edit: oops. Wrong (ish) thread. Still good thing tho) Edited December 28, 2016 by Kestrel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
