Got really soft and comfortable pjs, vanilla bath stuff, another banana yoshimoto novel, 2 books my poor mum had to order and which I´ll get in january and GG season 4 box-set, GA season 1 and city of lost children (it´s French and I don´t know the English title). So I´m going to spend the next couple of days eating cookies and watching dvds How was everyones´ Christmas?

This is a bit off topic, but it snowed in some parts of Australia on Christmas Day. Not where I live of course, further south but that's really, really weird for us. It never snows in like the middle of summer in any part of our country. Well obviously not never since it did, but hey you get my point.

The weather is getting weird. The whitest stuff I´ve seen around here is fog, I think it won´t snow until spring. Last year we had snow in april.

I think we had like 4 inches of snow in Victoria and 5 in Tasmania, but yeah the weather is getting really erratic. I thought it was supposed to be getting hotter not colder. Snow in December here is the weirdest thing ever.

There was a small tornado in Hamburg or somewhere in Germany a while ago. And snow in Australia when we don´t even have some is creepy.

I haven't received all my gifts yet because I won't see my parents for another few days, but so far I've gotten 15 new books (YAY!!!), movie theatre tickets, a book store gift certificate, a pig calendar, and a gift certificate for 5 Big Fish computer games (they're funny, silly games, very easy to play). So yeah, with 15 new books to read, the end of the world can't be happening, I just won't allow it!!

Okay, from Nick I got Les Miserables in two really old antique looking volumes that were previously owned by a Stuart Woods (whoever that may be), Pirates of the Caribbean 2 on DVD, and then he wanted to buy me a digital camera but didn't know what I would like so I'm supposed to tell him. From his parents I got Step Up on DVD and two tickets to see the Phantom of the Opera next month in a theater in Toledo. From his other family I just basically got money, and I got a really soft scarf from his one grandma. From my own family, among other things I can't all remember, I got Boggle, Disney Scene It, Clue, a painting of a picture of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, a few little Snoopy/Peanuts stuff because I love them, and money. The other stuff is little. I didn't get any books besides what Nick gave me, but I have mucho money and am going to buy/order some in a few minutes Hope you all had great days
