True, but doesn't disregarding the post somehow constitute us disregarding the information as well, therefore assuming some level of it being bullshot?
Translation: It's 2:30 in the morning, and my logic makes sense to me. So there. :p

My sister got me the cookie jar that was on an episode of the original "The Office", a cop saying "Step away from the cookie jar." When I saw that, I thought it was absolutely hilarious.
I also got a real neat toolkit for use with computers, that has some pretty good quality parts inside, along with another general household tool set, Guild Wars to play along with my girlfriend, and some nice new clothes. That, and some general spending money. Quite nice really, not too extravagant.
On the flipside, I got my girlfriend a PS2, and a MS Zune, along with Final Fantasy 10 10-2, 12, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. At least we can do the PS2 stuff together, which is pretty nice. (she loves the FF series.. awesome for me!)

It's a lot of light grey. No white what-so-ever. Plus some dark grey, which for some reason I want to say has some degree of green in it. Also, black. Lots of black.
-
I got the LG EnV, a Wii shoulder bag (cause I take it with me everywhere so everyone can try it), and some airsoft camo. Plus the usual little things, picture frames, socks, etc. Could've been worse. ;)

eh, that sucks, I was hoping it was white. Black is always good, but I don't have much use for the bluish gray they use these days. I might just get a couple of the Batmobiles instead.
