SOME people open presents on Christmas Eve! :P

my family opens them right after dinner. :lol:

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

I got a phone from Kiwi.
And $125 of mutual funds from my grandparents.
And an Evenescence sticker, Green Day sticker, and Weezer button from Melissa.

Dunno what else I'm getting, so I'll guess:

Star Wars episode III and the 2 most recent Harry Potter books from my parents
Money from my other grandma.
A referral on http://ipodnanos.freepay.com/?r=22183914 from my brother and his wife.
Something chocolate from Nikki.
Something from a CM secret santa.

so far i've gotten...

panic! at the disco- a fever you can't sweat out
melissa o'neil- s/t
a barbie doll.. the california boy that smells like malibu
a shirt that says "blondes have more fun, brunettes can read"
an ipod nano duo iskin
a santa claus nightlight
a colouring book
a plant.. those things that you plant the bulb and watch them grow
pot o gold
body shop gift certificate
a jigsaw puzzle

i haven't had my family celebration yet..
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

I've only got two friend presents. A necklace/earring set, lotion, toblerone chocolate, and cool crazy orange feather earrings.

I'm about to go open my Christmas Eve present.

I only got my gift from Emily, but she got me...
Team America
Jackie chan dvd
The best of metal the essential cd collection guide
Misery-Stephen king
The shining-Stephen King
and another book by stephen King

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Ohhh, it was a pretty silver necklace with a rock on the end.

It's cooler than it sounds.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

My laptop that I've had for a while now :love:

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
