stoopbeckAh, the joy of raking in Christmas loot. The best part? Some of the stuff people sent still hasn't come in yet. So Christmas keeps going on and on! Yay!
Swag count so far:
-fuzzy gloves
-real-live mittens, something I haven't had since I was about two and too uncoordinated to really care about being able to move my fingers
-an elephant good luck bracelet, and some nifty earings
-two pullover soft'n'fuzzy shirt/sweater thingies
-freaking awesome silk pajamas
-a "good luck frog" or "money frog" or whatever it's called-- three legs, coin in it's mouth, and freaking ugly, but I love it...
-candy!
-a Swiss Army Hat, coincidentally a hat that Tintin wears in his exploits and a hat that I have lusted after since the first grade
-a sweatshirt. Front caption: Napoleon World Tour [with a distressed pic of him on his rearing horse]

Here's hoping everyone out there had a Merry Christmas... and will have a Happy New Year. I know I will, what with mittens and gloves and my sweatshirt and my books...

We had to push buttons and flail with "swords" and scream stuff. The people watching us must have been deeply amused. Here were about thirty people, all sitting in chairs, flailing spastically, VR masks on, screaming "I WANT THE BOOTY! GIVE ME THE BOOTY! WHERE IS THE BOOTY?! AAAARRRR! I WANT THE BOOTY NOW!"
Hee. Good times, good times. And don't worry. I shall bring my swag to meet your booty, and good times will be had by all. Do you think your Stargate DVDs will be friends with my Stargate DVDs? Hopefully so, because rivalry between DVD sets is an ugly thing to behold.
