Besides my piano which I got early, I got a lot of soap and smelly stuff. Maybe my hygiene is slipping. I got two boxes of Roses chocolates which are um my maybe #6 choice for boxes, just after #5 which is NOTHING. Nah they're okay.

My best combo present was Anchorman and the book which is written in the style of the dude from Anchorman. I've never seen the movie nor heard any of the jokes ever, but it's pretty cool to get a movie and then a book related to the movie which I can read after. Cool present.

I love this mug I just got. Not sure why this makes me so excited compared to other gifts :v: My new favorite mug.

I got a lot of really odd gifts this year :v: but some really cool ones!

Amazing cookies from my aunt, some coffee, a beer-making kit that looks like its from an infomercial (lol), a HUGE cast iron skillet, a croc-pot, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and State of Decay from steam friends/BF, 32GB flash drive, 60GB SSD from BF (!!!... only issue is need to reinstall windows for this bad boy :( ), firefly+serentity, and a space heater :)

I wish i'd get coffee mugs for christmas. My mother tries too hard to get us stuff and refuses to just get us things we ask for, so she always gets us random items she think we'll like. Like this year i just asked for a new mouse and a new soundcard. I got both of them but i also got a Bonsai gardening kit (which i actually absolutely love because i have this weird obsession with a bamboo plant i bought 4 years ago), an rc helicopter, a shirt, and a rather chinsy switchblade. Then other misc stuff like candy, tiny travel speaker, gift cards. She also got my brother, sister, and I a Pebble Smart Watch because my brother wanted to $300 samsung gear one but it was far too much. Which I don't really understand why she got it for us. She imposed a $200 limit per person to ask for things. My two asked items totaled to about $170 yet she buys about an extra $200 per person on random gifts she thinks we may like.

Knives are like my mothers version of coffee mugs for us, because she knows i love my knives and even collect them, problem is she always buys us really REALLY cheap knives.

Christmas though just usually serves to remind me how much i hate spending time with my entire family at once. It's just annoying on multiple levels, i ended up shotgunning a beer in a desperate attempt to be juuuuuust drunk enough to enjoy dinner which was in a few minutes. I'm grateful for them and am thankful for especially my mother trying to make christmas special, but everyone being together still almost always just ends in us all being annoyed at someone or everyone.

Christmas tree fell down while opening gifts. I found it funny because i knew it was going to happen and even warned them it would happen. Nothing but cheap colored glass balls broke so nothing was lost, but my mom was still freaking out. Then my older brother provided moral support in the form of whining about how bad we are (me and my dad) at righting the tree back up. Then after bickering for a bit while trying to fix the tree, we fixed it and my brother continued to whine about whatever while watching tv and not helping us redecorate the tree. I quite enjoyed having the tree fall over, was something interesting for once but then everyone over reacted and made a simple fix akin to pulling teeth.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;43307786]I got the following gifts:

A book on how the European and Chinese civilizations developed and became extremely advanced societies while everyone else stayed stuck in the stone age.
A book on Chinese history and why China is set to become a superpower over the next century.
A book on military blunders (including examples of incompetent generals).
A book on the Roman Army.
Sun Tzu's art of war.
A book on the history of philosophy.
A small reference book of some sort about current affairs (from global warming to the Syrian rebellion).
Finally, a history book on Russia (half of it covering the last nine decades).[/QUOTE]

cant even shove any of those gifts up your ass for sexual purposes what a terrible haul

[QUOTE=Saza;43310566]sounds like your mom's just trying to be nice, dude[/QUOTE]

I legitimately understand and know that. She's the only one in the whole family that actually tries to make christmas a thing. However my mother is, and i'm not even kidding about this, rapidly approaching the point of being senile with her logic.
She spent over $350 on my brother after she told my brother he can't get the only thing he wanted which was about $290 because it went over the $200 limit. She had bought my brother all these gifts after he asked and was denied the only thing he actually wanted.
So she rejected to get my brother what he wanted on the grounds that it went over $200 then proceeded to spend over 300 on misc stuff for my brother that he didn't want.

My mother tries too hard really, and i feel bad about it all.

With the philosophy one I can use my power of reason to create objects in the mind that constitute reality, and by extension if one can use reason to work out what reality is, I could reason a dildo into existence.

Just got back from the get-together. It was...eh. Wasn't the worst, but I didn't really enjoy it too much.

It was pretty obvious everyone was trying hard to just get along, except maybe my parents and my siblings. Didn't really speak the whole time I was there, as usual. It was nice to see some relatives again, though.

The hardest part for me was when we were at the table. Things seemed to be way less awkward, which was good, but it kinda went face up on me when everyone went around the table talking about "their life." It hurt for me because I literally had nothing to say but "I had a job and now I don't." I couldn't tell them anything else aside that I never finished high school and basically stay on the internet for hours upon hours. Everyone else had something going on with them or some kind of goal they were working towards, while I sat there and had nothing to say for myself. I guess I can use this as a motivation to get off my ass and back on track, but damn. It stung pretty bad.

And then my aunt asked me "Don't you have someone in your life?"

I just froze up at that. Now, if this was a year ago, I would've just said 'no' with no problems, but now that I kinda do, I just had to bitterly say 'no' because I was afraid. Once again, the problem arises where I can't really talk about my interests, hobbies, or anything to do with my relationships because of my sexuality. It made me feel like I could never tell them that I was bi or that I did indeed have a boyfriend. It's just...really alienating and stressful. And I know, everyone's been through this and I need to just get in line and suck it up, but the fact that it was on this date made things even more sour for me. I feel like it's gonna take a while before I can even begin to let them know or hint at it. I love them all. They're family, but I know how they feel about those things and it's just hard for me to imagine the reaction if/when they find out. I just feel like I can't be myself around them.

In all honesty, though, besides all that, I had an okay time. Got to see some people I haven't seen in a while, things didn't get terrible, plenty of food. I kinda feel bad for complaining about it when some people on here have had a worse time. I just needed to vent about that bit, so I'm through complaining about Christmas :v:

Hope everyone had a good time this year, and Happy Holidays!

Weird, I got a book too :v:

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;43308218]How can people eat that much? I could barely fit in a bowl of soup and a small ham sandwich and I'm pretty much stuffed for the entire day, I couldn't imagine how people can eat like enough that they actually get sleepy and stuff[/QUOTE]
I usually eat one smallish meal a day (*this is really bad for you*). My brother, sister, brother-in-law, nephews and uncle couldn't make it and my Dad can only eat small amounts of Vitamin K rich foods due to warfarin so there was lots of fresh veg that couldn't be kept. There's a lot of leftover food as well (literally most of a gammon, half a massive turkey, sausages, stuffing, inordinate amounts of trifle/christmas pudding/yule log/gingerbread) that's staying put. I ate a stacked plate, which most people would count as a reasonable first serving at Christmas but absolutely killed me.
Also I drank a lot of alcohol and am on the tail end of a comedown, which didn't help.
[QUOTE=Seiteki;43308494]Made fried pork chops with a vegetable curry for dinner. First time cooking with pork and it seems to have gone well.[/QUOTE]
Sounds great! Did you put anything on the pork chops or did you let the curry do the talking (so to speak)?
[QUOTE=Uzbekistan;43308566]How does one politely cancel a date?[/QUOTE]
Cancel a date as in "I can't see you tonight soz :/" or cancel a date as in "I don't want to date you"?

I bought Netrunner for my brother after telling him I couldn't afford it so he wasn't expecting it. I didn't actually have any clue what it was but when my other brother and him played it it looked awesome.

Also chess 2 is great! (it's a real thing!)

I got a bunch of cash. At least it can go to paying off my credit card bills. Cash is useful 'n' all, but I guess I'd have preferred something more sentimental.

True love is driving 10 miles into town at 4am, right as you're about to go to sleep, because your stupid boyfriend handcuffed himself to a chair with the wrong set of cuffs and lost the key.

Pinch me, I still feel like I'm dreaming.

Surely that's an opportunity, not an inconvenience?

Dunno why, but this morning, I awoke feeling really happy and satisfied with things. I have no idea what spurred it, but I feel pretty great.

My Christmas money is already gone. I spent it on model trains then put what was left aside to visit my girlfriend next year.

I only got $105 and nothing else, and I can't really spend it for fun.
I still have that $650 med bill but at least it'll now be a $545 med bill I guess.
