This further proves my theory that americans are crazy bat people that have giant houses filled with gold bars stashed somewhere.

Are ALL people in the US Bill Gates or something? O_O

[Mega Grumpig]

The secret is ask for a COMPLETELY unreasonable amount of stuff so getting a still large amount of gifts doesn't doun so bad in comparison

[Eponine]

Last night:

-Recorder lesson set thing
-Fuzzy jammies

-$150 giftcard to Hot Topic
-$150 giftcard to Barnes and Noble

And a bunch of other stuff. I spent all my giftcards today on the store websites. Hot Topic was being a jerk and taking away all of the stuff I put in my cart. Then they have the audacity to charge $12 for shipping and handling and $12 sales tax, so I didn't even spend the whole thing on a lot of stuff I wanted. >:\ Then I got a bunch of books from Barnes and Noble. >
