The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

(Darn you for starting this topic before me!)

As for my stuff...oh goodness, I have quite a lot. At this point, I'm not in the mood to post everything I got, so I decided to record videos on my webcam system, and I'm uploading them to YouTube right now. I'll post them here later on. TTFN!

I got 3 shirts, a Camaro calendar and a Camaro history book called "Camaro: Five Generations Of Performance"  ^_^  :) So, I got two BRAND NEW Camaro things for Christmas, but not the actual car. ;) Lol. And I have a long-lost cousin Ashley who's 5 years older than me who hasn't seen me since I was reaallly little. I can't even remember the last time I saw her, I was that young.

The shirts were a Tommy Hilfiger polo shirt, a black IZOD polo shirt, and a red "Coca-Cola" t-shirt. ;) I did get all of the gifts that I wanted. ;)

Lip gloss
Heating pad (Serving now as a butt warmer)
Spa socks
And a homemade batsnake from a friend of mine

And the big gift, a brand new sewing machine

Tested it out and it's awesome!

I got some pretty awesome gifts!

I got a scarf, a Maroon 5 CD, a One Direction CD, $300 in iTunes gift cards, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and, my personal favorite, Assassin's Creed 3. So, all in all, it was a pretty good Christmas. :)

Well I haven't opened half my presents yet as I was spending Christmas with my father's family rather than at home, but what I've received so far is:

A 250 GB PS3
Bond 50 (all the Bond films on Blu--ray)
Mad Men up to the current season on Blu-ray
A lot of rare Beach Boys' concerts on Blu-ray
Some Confederate currency

And my personal favorite: An 8 inch tall bronze statue of Napoleon that my father picked up when he visited France earlier this year. :DD

Oh yes, and lots of gift cards. :D Still have the other half of my presents waiting, though those won't be opened until my mom gets back on the 27th. :)

Ehh, I didn't expect gifts this year, but I got some sketching pencils, a book about Crows (I am super psyched about that!!) candy (lots and lots of candy :p) and I got gloves, and a scarf, as well as a graphic novel, sort of a compilation of various artist's works printed together in a single volume.
I hope everyone had a peaceful and restful (and food-filled... ugh, my brain is melting from all the tryptophan in that turkey) holiday^^

All I got are two movies on DVD:  Captain America & Battleship (I don't go out much)

On the other hand, I drew a lot of gifts for friends on DA!

Yipes, my other grandma sent us something and it just arrived late. Huge box full of food.  :o
Beef jerky, smoked salmon (yay!), pepperoni sticks, blackberry jam, crackers, and some cheese. And two oven mitts. 0.o

I don't think we'll be buying snack foods until next Christmas.
