Christmas Inventory
To the best of my recollection...
First of all, my trip to China and my copy of Twilight Princess were both "Okay, we'll get this for you, but this counts as a Christmas present" things. And considering that the China trip probably cost more than all my presents put together have in previous years, I guess I was lucky to get anything else.
-stocking stuffers: earrings, eye shadow, body butter, etc., and chocolate(!)
-3 shirts: a pink sweater (which I was kind of indifferent to until I put it on and discovered that it fits really nicely and is super comfy), a blue patterned one (which I had completely forgotten that I had said I liked once), an Emily the Strange one (which struck me as out of character for me, until it occurred to me that I am always a fan of the twisted bad guy characters in any story; ie. Snape and Dark Link).
-2 pairs of pants: brown cords (to replace my old, incredibly worn out ones), and jeans (which I actually bought myself at work two days later; Christmas present from me to me)
-2 Harry Potter calendars: big (with pictures of all the movie posters; pretty cool, although it says "Sorceror's Stone"...), and small (with cool portraits of various things from GoF that look like things I would make if I was bored and tinkering with PhotoShop)
-Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (I was hoping to get this because I haven't made up my mind if I like it yet, so I wouldn't spend my own money on it, but the only way I will know if I like it is if I watch it several more times and eventually see the third one)
-big, puffy, fleece pillow which I love to walk around hugging like a five-year-old with a favourite doll; so cozy and soft...mmm...
The rest of my presents (particularly the ones from Chris) had a theme going. Can you guess what it was?
-Twilight Princess strategy guide (addressed to me "From Link;" Mom always does some present like that for me, be it "From Hermione," or "From the Olympians," or whatever)
-Twilight Princess sampler soundtrack (Chris got it free for renewing his subscription to Nintendo Power for this year; he listened to it, realized he will never listen to it again, and opted to give it to me!)
-Zelda pin (pretty big--swords and arrows set behind a Hylian shield--but cool dark silver, so still tasteful enough that I can actually wear it)
-Link wall skin (basically a giant sticker that looks pretty damn awesome on my wall of hotness next to Adam Gregory and Orlando Bloom)
-Link Gamecube skin (actually, I got this before Christmas, because it was a present that I gave Chris for his birthday, and I just got Mom to pick me up an extra one then...heh...)
To quote Chynna, "It was a Link year."
The only thing I wanted and didn't get was Scrubs season 3...but that's 'cause I count on Chris to get me my Scrubs DVDs, and he got me cool Zelda stuff instead. Oh, the trauma of having to balance fandoms!
