Yeah, I did none of that today. Which means I need to do the picture-taking tomorrow! Score! I guess I should find out when Jonathan is working tomorrow&#8230; I&#8217;ll do that now&#8230; okay, he&#8217;s off tomorrow. Awesome. That&#8217;s when I&#8217;ll take pictures. The rest I can do real late at night or whatever, no big deal.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I got Shivam&#8217;s Festivus gift to me in the mail today, and it&#8230; I dunno. It was quite a feeling. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamespite.net\/talkingtime\/showpost.php?p=91864&amp;postcount=255\">Here&#8217;s<\/a> the unwrapping I did for the site, cause that was part of it&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamespite.net\/talkingtime\/showpost.php?p=91867&amp;postcount=256\">here&#8217;s<\/a> his response, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamespite.net\/talkingtime\/showpost.php?p=91890&amp;postcount=257\">here&#8217;s<\/a> me trying to explain my feelings about it more in response to his response&#8230; in any case, it&#8217;s really quite neat, and it has significance for him and what he thinks of me, and it&#8230; it made me that kind of blushy, embarrassed sort of happy, you know? It was really sweet. It certainly wasn&#8217;t the sort of feeling I was expecting to get out of it when I joined up for this Festivus exchange, but man, it was neat&#8230; it really does stick out, though, among all of my stuff. It&#8217;d look nice with all of Mom&#8217;s stuff in the little curio thing downstairs, but this is mine, and she wouldn&#8217;t like the significance anyway&#8230; so it&#8217;ll set on top of my computer, at least for now, until I think of a good place for it&#8230; it&#8230; yeah. Shivam did well. It certainly moved me in some way, since I&#8217;ve literally spent most of the day trying to think of how to word my feelings about it, and I still don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve succeeded. But hopefully explaining around the mark will give you some idea, I dunno.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, how did I do in my gift-giving? I think well, considering Calorie Mate looked up my AIM account to tell me he liked it when he got it. I guess since I&#8217;m linking to Talking Time posts, I can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamespite.net\/talkingtime\/showpost.php?p=87209&amp;postcount=145\">link to that one<\/a> too. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve talked about how my gift went over yet, right? This isn&#8217;t rehashed? I hope?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, guess I best get going to work now&#8230; I got a caffeine withdrawal headache begging for a big caffeine drink.
