I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

People who open presents on Christmas Eve should be excommunicated.

And if they were already atheists, they should be burned at the steak...stake...

My grandmother bought me a portable DVD player, and while I appreciate the thought, I'm not sure I have any practical use for it. I am considering returning it, and putting the store credit toward a laptop for school.

I didn't ask for much since I've been out of work, but I've gotten:

1. $50 from my grandfather
2. Two shirts from my brother and his wife - the red t-shirt says "Please don't interrupt me while I'm ignoring you." I it.
3. A copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on DVD from my other brother
4. An intense crush on Zooey Deschanel from watching that DVD.
5. Finances kept my mom and I from exchanging gifts, but she said she couldn't bear not getting me anything, so she got me some aftershave. This was odd because I use an electric razor and don't use aftershave.

Considering my father never called to ask me what I wanted for Christmas (not that I had any money to buy him anything anyway) I don't expect anything from him.

I'll get gifts for the rest of my family (could only really afford to get gifts for the boys) when I get a job, if ever. My mom hit a pothole in my car and tore a chunk out of the front tire, so I told her the $85 I spent on a new tire was her Christmas present.

So far I received from coworkers:

- First Things First, a motivational/self-help book which, apparently, discusses forming and maintaining healthy relationships with other people, which came from my boss (wtf is THAT supposed to mean? ).
- A book of crossword puzzles (which is awesome; I love those things)

Some of things I hope to get in the morning are:

- a new video card (an Nvidia GeForce 6800, probably)
- 512mb of shiny new RAM
- City of Villains
- a wastebasket (I really, really need a little one for my bedroom)


And because I like hearing myself talk, here's what I got for my family. My money has been very tight for the last few months, so I could only afford a few small presents

- Carly Simon CD for my mom
- A basset hound pin for my mom, who owns a small herd of the little bastards
- Firefox DVD for my dad
- War of the Worlds (new version) DVD for my dad
- Photo album set for my sister (and I'll probably treat her and her husband to dinner or something, too)
- Jade Empire for my brother-in-law
- a pivoting space heater for my grandma

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.
