My roommates got me something, but I doubt it's the wireless keyboard for my computer that I wanted. I think it's clothes... hope they included the receipt because they always buy something I never wear and eventually give away because they never get the size right. How hard is it to just give me a gift card like I asked for if they can't get the original request? A $30 visa gift card is better than a $50 shirt that's too big.

 

I'm going to L.A. next year and avoiding the gift exchange.

 

Just to update, the gift my roommates gave me was actually the wireless keyboard I asked for. That Apple keyboard is TINY! I need to set it up before going to work. I also got some homemade spiced bread and a $25 Itunes gift card.

 

Still going to L.A. next year though.

 

I played a prank on my roommate with his gift; he likes his gift to be a wrapped surprise and got b@tchy when I wanted to give him the gift without wrapping it (you know, save the environment and my nerves since I do some of the worst wrap jobs on the face of the earth). So I wrapped a dead hard drive in a box and put then the envelope containing the actual gift on top. Inside the envelope (with a Visa gift card) I wrote:

 

"I know you like surprises, so here it is: don't bother opening the gift box. Ain't sh@t in it." SURPRISE!!"

 

I found the unwrapped box by the door last night when I got home from the guy I'm seeing new "family".

Really good Christmas this year!

-Soundtrack to the new Gypsy revival (starring Patti LuPone)

-Four bottles of vanilla Frappuccino

-"Her Sacred Spirit Soars" (beautiful song by Eric Whitacre)

-SPORE (the best game in the history of all games)

^The thank you note:

 

Dear ,

 

Thank you for the picture. I really appreciate it. I found the perfect place for it:

 

The bathroom.

 

It really helps me out for the proper motivation when I got to go.

 

I figure I'll keep it there until we run out of starter paper for the fireplace.

 

Thanks again!
