My kitten! Lol. Well what did you expect me to put first? It was so sweet, my mother even put him in a little box and I didn't realise until I heard him miaow and then I opened it and he purred and... I just love him so much!

I also got some books (I told my mother not to buy too many because I have almost fifty still unread so she bought me seven which wasn't too bad and then my friends got me another two between them )

Then I picked out quite a lot of clothes, some gorgeous shoes, a beautiful leather bag and purse and stuff while I was in town about a week before and my mother gave me the money for them.

Then two DVD's, a computer game, the usual bath stuff, jewelery, a plushie eeyore from one of my friends, chocolate and just generally lots of really nice things.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for my Playstation 3, and Planet Earth on DVD. ^_^

US Antique/Retired coins
1917 Washington Silver Certificate
Clothes
Atlas of the American Revolution
200 hundred dollars, which I'll probably put towards my F&I sword.


The Atlas is wicked sweet! The full page(s) maps are outstanding, and it basically covers every major event in great detail but in such a way that it's easy reading.

Um... dunno what else. But man, you should have seen my aunt & uncle's living room. We had like, a dozen people and two Christmas trees because the first one ran out of space. My uncle had to use two industrial-sized binliners for all the paper. It was mass chaos and highly amusing. xD

- A Japanese/English dictionary
-A pressed-flower paper lantern & lantern lightbulb holding thing....er...
- A volume of Ouran High
-Two or three other books
-a chocolate bar
-Two CDs -- Plain White T's and Reliant K.
