I posted a thread about those the other day. Let us know how it does....

hthese like cooking mushrooms...or 'shrooms?
 
Big fight with my father :|

Alias, seasons 1 and 2
All three seasons of Star Trek
The Skelton Key dvd
Some type of bag thing to hang on the inside of the car (my Aunt always gives the worst gifts, at least she gave up her 15 year streak of giving socks with bad cologne)
$75 GC to the Sharper Image
Family Guy vol. 3
Aeon Flux: The complete collection
Eliptiglider - I lost 30 pounds last year, then gained 40 (all fat, unfortunately)
Big knife and tool thing
I got my mom to let me use her credit card to buy a few books that were out of print:
- 3 of the books from the end of the Wildcards series, out of print about 10 years
- The Origin of the Hobgoblin (comic trade), 12 years out of print
- Some old SF mags with the few George R.R. Martin stories I hadn't read (16 years old)
- Emperor Doom (comic trade)
- Miracleman #16 - the only issue of Miracleman I didn't own, out of print about 12 years
Ipod Nano - I don't listen to music, I don't like putting earbuds in my ears (extremely sound sensitive), and I'm afraid I might break. Literally EVERYONE in my family got one. Before anyone asks, NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT. Maybe I'll see if I can get a kit to use in the car, if I can turn the volume down enough; the car stereo is too loud at the lowest setting. I haven't listened to music in the car for about 1.5 years.
 
Socks (originally a joke, but they keep coming)

3 DS Games
