GOT NOTHING FROM MY LIST

IT WAS A BIG LIST

I DIDNT NEED ALL OF IT BUT ONE FREAKIN THING WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE

I had so many cool fandom realated books i wanted .

I have a feeling my family put no thought into most of my gifts, just like last year when they got me a manga aobut CARS, it was supposed to match the theme of a of those NanoTech racecars from Radio Shack that i also got

Note to parents: I like anime, but it depend on what its about.
CHECK THE SUBJECT MATTER

lotions and perfume( nice but i'll waste it all in 2 days)
a sweatshirt i'll never wear
a little birdie christmas ornament (lame but cute)
a kitty stuffie with a big head (i get it, i like cats)
a small handpainted mirror
my fave cookies from Trader Joe's
Sephora strawberry milkshake shampoo

GOOD GIFTS

Ipod Nano
Sims deluxe edition

EXCEPT MY COMPUTER IS BROKEN
(thank god for the library)

and an early christmas gift from my uncle of THE SERENITY DVD!!!!

Two years ago I asked for an elliptical machine and my mom said she'd get it. Christmas morning -- an old leather coat, granny panties, socks, sheets, vitamins. I was so disappointed that I couldn't hide it. She got pissed at my ingratitude and less than a month later kicked me out of the house. Took 8 months to work out, and it's still a tense, charged subject. At least you got a few good things. No matter what, my advice is to hide disappointment and save up to give yourself your own gifties, b/c people might get embarrassed and resent you, even if they're the ones breaking the guidelines. Sucks, but sometimes it's just better to go in expecting nothing and then getting pleasantly surprised. Love, Roo

oh, you're so not being a brat. a family asks for wishlists, you give them wishlists, and then they ignore it. it's a half-assed process and it sucks. thing is, it's gifts which aren't earned, so any complaints/disappointment will only get them pissed at you, which isn't fair and is passive aggressive. so you meet your wants/needs, and at the very least , family time is smooth sailing. but i so seriously feel your pain. love, roo
