The MBoard

The title says it all~


Share your loot, your booty, and what you didn't get that you wanted!


 I know for sure I'm getting tights and jeans. I'm hoping Lauri will be there tomorrow to give me my dress that she bought me.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/alexthepenguin/LauriDressxD.png <- Artist's interpretation of said dress.



We're having our family holiday today (24 December) because my mom works tomorrow. We're not expecting much, since my family is helping us out a ton with the whole hospital thing, but it should be good.

So far I have a movie, the Exorcism of Emily Rose and $100 which I got early and used for Christmas shopping.
I expect another 120 bucks or so, and that should be it.

I didn't want much this year. Just money, Animal Crossing, a Mega Man 9 Retail Package, and on the side, PW: Trials and Tribulations, anything Mega Man, and a few other things I keep forgetting to mention... like now. :/

I see what I assume to be the ACCF bundle under the tree, and the money is elsewhere.

Uh... So far I've gotten:

- An XBox 360 Elite (##### yeah! When I get home on Monday I'm going to hook it to LIVE and ##### some 13-year-olds up! I'm so excited to be disappointed when I meet the LIVE community.)
- Left 4 Dead (##### yeah! ##### those zombie bitches up!)
- Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (##### yeah! It doesn't disappoint in any way, but I'd rather it be more like the first two.)
- Scrubs Season Seven on DVD (Eh... It's Scrubs. Still good, just not as good as I expected, Zach Braff has almost no emotion when he's not JD.)

I'm getting a lot of gifts tomorrow, a few over the next few days after that, and the last helping of gifts when I get home on Monday.

As always, nothing. :P

I did order myself the Girly books, but those are probably not going to get here tomorrow.

You give yourself bad gifts?

JERRY ONLY'S DEVASTATOR BASS GUITAR REPLICA <3

I wish, I'll be getting a bass though, so I can start a learnin' how to play it.

Other than that, some monies, gift cards (probably for HMV), and some clothes. Planning on getting a nice V-Neck sweater, which looks positively fly on me when the sleeves are rolled up.

My Chanukah earnings are Tropic Thunder on DVD, and $100.

Early Christmas present is Smooth Bristol paper and an 18 inch ruler.

Don't know if I'll get anything else.

No idea what I'll be getting, except some clothing.

I'm the one who did the "big-gift" shopping...WHY DID I GET MY BROTHER A PS3 AGAIN?

I only know of one thing I'm getting, and I'll post an image of that when I get it.

I only know of one thing I'm getting, and I'll post an image of that when I get it.

I hope it's a mirror!

Add $10 for me.

I didn't really ask for anything, I'm not a gifty person.

But so far I've gotten graphic novels from people, as well as a Green Lantern fig that was pretty cool and rare. My cousins got me "de Blob" on Wii and a 2gb micro SD card that I needed, and in the family gift exchange game I won a bunch of knives we needed. My grandpa gave me money. My friend apparently got me a book about India that I'd really like.

No idea what my parent(s) have for me. But I'm all that into the gift thing so it's alright if it's nothing amazing.

Money. A lot of money.

Also some books:

A compilation of A Brief History of Time and The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking.

Firstborn by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter. Which really means that Baxter wrote it and Clarke stuck his name on it.



Also a new pair of earbuds (although I've already got a probably-better pair, they're more than a month old and thus on their way out, inevitably).

And a Black Sabbath collection, which I may or may not enjoy (me not being a metal fan, really, at all). Probably not enjoy, but I can't find out until I try it.

Just wait until you hear Planet Caravan. *gag*

They aren't really what metal nowadays is though.  It's mostly just harder rock.

Got back from my Christmas party with some family. So far I've got $75, $55 in HMV gift cards (I knew it!) and a $30 visa gift card; to spend on whatever I want! (INTERNET MONIES!)

I also got some Belgium chocolate.. but.. ALPHABET SHAPED WAAAAOOOH! (hah, joke present)

Then there's the super ultra awesome best joke present ever that my cousin got me. It's too amazing to describe, so you'll have to wait for pictures!

Probably gonna be getting $150 tomorrow with some candy and junk.

200 dollars
a santa hat
Sansa Clip 2 gb mp3 player
a jacket for my trip to chicago
two lottery tickets

Christmas was fun tonight, good haul.

OH! I forgot that my Girlfriend got me some comics from the ninties that tried to revive the old pulp character, "The Spider".

Not as bad as it might sound, but this might be the worst Christmas yet.

I finally heard news about my brother academically, and he's officially been put on academic suspension. Alongside with other issues, my parents are going through a rough time with finances.

We'll open gifts in a minute, but it's strange that my brother hasn't called, e-mailed, or even shown up yet.

I'll talk about my prezzes later, as I don't feel like being online much longer. But I couldn't pass this one up;

I also got some Belgium chocolate

Belgian, Steven. Belgian. We use the word Belgian to describe something of, or related to Belgium.

I'm counting that as your gift from me, Wind!

Christmas is hard this year.
Both my parents are in the hospital.
Medical bills. Woohoo.

I got: A T shirt, a short, a swiming short, some underwear, new sneakers, and $20.
They went all like "But you neeed clothes!"

Today:

-The Simpsons Movie
-Some chapstick
-Some shirts
-Wii boxers

...Eh, I got a 360 earlier.

$25 to walmart.
Another $100.
Blanket.
Cards.

Listened to the album last night, and it makes a good backdrop for reading but I'll probably only rip a couple of the tracks. Overall not offensive to my ears, but Zeppelin is my raunch limit.

I got a crock pot!
I got tights and jeans.
Lauri gave me my dress. :D
I got a cute little beaded box.
Of course, we got Lebkuchen.
We got a bunch of edibles in the stockings.


My mother got us Twilight.

I intend to read it out of courtesy/for the lulz, then sell it.


Oh, yeah. Shavers.

Looky.

oh did i mention i got hospital bills?

I got 100 dollars in Gift cards for Best Buy, and about 60 dollars in normal not gift card money.

Also got a guitar.

EDIT: Make that 85 in cash. Now I can get Xbawks Live Gold and etc, and some more 360 games...

Looky.

I want that.

I. Really. Want. That.

Oh, yeah. Ray and I also got $25 each and a shared gift certificate for the local art store.

Christmas morning was pretty depressing, but my brother FINALLY answered his cell phone and showed up to the house. It picked up a bit from there.

From the house:
-$250 check.
-Nintendo Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training
-Animal Crossing: City Folk with Wii Speak bundle. (Will release codes soon) (Downloaded Wii Speak channel)
-Two shirts (One that I shall return)

Looky.

I want that.

I. Really. Want. That.

Posted it just for you man.

Chaos- I AM SO DARN JEALOUS OF YOU RIGHT NOW.

My mother got us Twilight.

I intend to read it out of courtesy/for the lulz, then sell it.

That's terrible.
Your mother is terrible.

So, counting EVERYTHING...

I got:

- $200 total
- Paper and ruler (needed it)
- Tropic Thunder
- Noise Putty (I love it)
- Some sort of lotion (what?)
 The Spider comics

And I got The Dark Knight when it came out, and Left 4 Dead, so those were gifts to myself.

EDIT: Apparently My Girlfriend got me some more stuff and shipped it over to me.

Ya got a LIVE gold membership so you can play with Nova and me?
I'll let ya be Louis, I know he's your favorite.

When I'm Internet ready again, I call Zoey. Her AI is #####ing retarded. But I call Bill if we got a fourth player.

I know, she always grabs the hunting rifle. It's #####ing useless!
Oh yeah! No way! Bill is totally mine! Only I can use the hybrid Santa Claus/Big Boss.
In other news...
I hate AI Louis, he runs up and takes things right when I'm about to grab 'em far too often. He also has a bad habit of jumping through windows and getting shot in the face when the door is only like a foot away.

- $100
- An electric blanket  <3
- Some warm, cushy socks (polartec, not wool)
- A pair of snow boots that are super warm and waterproof and have excellent traction

And then I see my boyfriend on Sunday, so I will know what he got me then.  :)

Who the #####'re you?

STFD.  I've been here forever; I just rarely post anymore.

Kidding, jeeze.

This is the worst Christmas ever! I only got a bunch of clothes, some money and an 19" HDTV! WTF, 19"!? That's waaaaaaaaaay too small! I hate my life!


Kidding. Although this has been a bad Christmas, mostly because of family issues...

TV is nice though...

I'm very much satisfied with my gifts for this year. I really only asked for DVD's.

Here's what I got:

- $300 video camera (gift for myself)
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 1980's TV Series on DVD (had it on VHS but no VCR)
- Lost Season 3 and 4 (I gave in and started getting them on DVD, though I always said I wouldn't...)
- The Office Season 4 (bought the first 3 for way cheap on Black Friday, this is where I stopped watching on TV so it's all new to me)
- It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 3 (bought the first volume for cheap on Black Friday)
- No Country For Old Men (wanted to see this)
- Burn After Reading (really wanted to see this)
- Good Will Hunting (still haven't seen this, though it was a random choice)
- The Dark Knight (kept putting it off, and finally my parents just bought it for me, ha)
- Clue... the movie on DVD, not the board game (very random gift from a friend who couldn't think of what to get)
- $20 gift certificate to Best Buy from a friend, he bought 8 of these for a bunch of us, very nice of him.

There were probably a couple more things, but this is clearly enough and I'm very pleased.

I got... money, The Dark Knight, a lot of chocolate, a big flat screen computer monitor, a food tree (I love food trees...), books, and uh...other random things like hair clips and scrunchies.

And from Nathan I got a calender I wanted, The Dark Knight (again, but a better version), 2 stuffed animal puppes (yay!), and the Aquarium game for the Wii (it's on WiiWare) and a really pretty necklace from his mom.

I'd prefer Annie anyway.

Seriously, learn your Great Old Ones.


Cthulhu has existed for EONS (or at least around the 1920s).

Cthulhu has existed for EONS (or at least around the 1920s).

And he also appeared in Billy and Mandy........

The more you know.

And he also appeared in Billy and Mandy........

Yes. because Billy and many > Lovecraft in the 1920s

Cthulhu is...

AND I QUOTE:

[spoiler]
It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful. Behind the figure was a vague suggestions of a Cyclopean architectural background.
[/spoiler]

Spoiler'd for length.

How do you pronounce it, anyway? Sounds like the chief of the Mayas, or the Aztecs. I don't remember.

C'Thoo-Loo is the general pronunciation, though there are variations.

They had weird aliens that looked like Cthulhu in Doctor Who.

They called them the Ood, and made lame jokes about them being odd.

"How ood."

Also, I normally am extremely annoyed by Lovecraft-obsessed-creepo-girls, but I make an exception for you, Alex. Though it doesn't make you NOT a Lovecraft-obsessed-creepo-girl!

I'm convinced that the lot of you would have no seconds thoughts in sexing up a Cthulhu if you ever saw one in real life, and that tends to bother me.

I do love tentacles.

I can't actually stand the thought of interacting with tentacles physically in any way other than with my hands, though.


And that's specifically limited to petting zoo octopi and anemones.


The only exception is eating squid. Dead and cooked squid.



ps: There is only one Cthulhu.

I do love tentacles.

I choose to ignore the rest of your post to appease my own sense of humor.

I commend your choice.

That was the point. :D

Do read the rest, though.

I read the whole post. :)

TENTACLES!

I'm more of an "arm" man myself.

I'm more of an "arm" man myself.

:<

I'm more of an "arm" man myself.

YOU BITCH! I HAVE NO ARMS

You're supposed to whistle in the middle of the word Cthulu or something.

I got a bunch of stuff that was great that I don't really feel like talking about right now but...

New watch, cologne, clothes, Celtics jersey (expensive :O ), Fable II, Power Gym (an exercise thing), Seinfeld Scene It? (I destroy at it), and money and some other things.

Was really good, since I didn't ask for anything and I ended up getting a bunch of stuff I wanted/needed to buy myself.

I can't even begin to imagine facing you in Seinfeld Scene It?

They need a Hitchhiker's Guide Scene It? so I can be really good at one of them.

I'm not as good at trivia-things as I'd like to be.

I pwn at Star Wars Scene It?. 8B

You and everyone else.

Really, the only questions I don't totally know in Seinfeld Scene It? are the ones about bit actors who made appearances, but even then I got some like Teri Hatcher and #####. The only reason I don't know those is because I don't know the actor names, even when I can picture the face.

Mike, I'm the same way but lately I've been working on that.

More on that note, and oddly enough relating to Seinfeld, is that I never knew the name of Jon Voight for so long, and in that one Seinfeld episode where George buys what he thinks is Jon Voight's car, I had no idea who that was. Then finally one day I put the two together and it was one of those "ah-ha!" moments.

You didn't notice who Jon Voight was when Kramer saw him getting into a cab and then bit him?

And yeah I'm getting better at knowing that stuff now that I'm older, but I got most of my Seinfeld under belt ages ago.

Well, when I saw the Seinfeld episode I actually DIDN'T have any idea who he was and I'd never seen a movie with him before or anything. And then after I started seeing his face in movies, it took me a long time to make the connection.
