So, for Christmas, I got some stuff for myself, and I also got some stuff that I have never expected to get. I was gonna list them all in that thread in the general forums, but figured, eh, I won't bore the people w/ a long list of stuff that people probably don't care about, so I'll put it in my blog, so only the people that do care will read it and maybe share some of their gifts w/ me.
So, for this Christmas, I got:
1) Guitar Hero 3 for PS2 - I am pretty much addicted to this game because I do play guitar, quite well actually, and I swore to conquer this game
2) Front lower control arms for my car - I think mine got bent back in the day when I used to drift my car on the street and when I hopped a curb. These fresh ones from the factory comes with new ball joints and everything so it should fix my car plus will be sort of an upgrade lol
3) Xtreme Ernie from Sesame Street - kinda like the xtreme Tickle Me Elmo, but Ernie. Our laughs kinda sound alike, it's pretty funny lol
4) A USB cup warmer, for my morning coffee to last more than 30 min before it goes cold. Plugs right into the USB port of my computer and gets the power from there. Has cool LED lights too.
5) Couple of shirts - hopefully they fit me.
6) A ginormous universal remote - has huuuuuge buttons on there, that I think my neighbor from across the street can see, so that I can still use it when I'm like 90 and can't see lol
7) A customized Polo (Ralph Lauren) shirt from my parents. My wife got a matching one, but has her initials instead of mine lol Black shirt w/ gold stitching ftw!!
8) A Johnson acoustic/electric guitar!! Didn't expect this one! From my mother-in-law too!
9) Eh, screw it, "a lot more other stuff" lol
I did get myself a set of bad butt wheels, and some bad butt turbo parts for my car.
Bought my wife a Sony digital camera, and helped out on buying her DDR for my PS2, but for her to play (helped because I didn't have the cash, but I picked out the present, so her mom bought it and said it was from her, but I picked it out dang it!).
Anyway, that was a kind of condensed list. Hopefully you guys have gotten what you wanted plus more!
So it's been almost a month since I've been married, and so far my friends have asked me "does it feel any different?"
My response is always "no, it doesn't feel any different. Just feels like the same stuff, but I have a ring around my finger."
For me, that's true because I've known Krystal for 6 years now, and we have been dating almost 6 years before we got married (we started going out officially in March. March 27th to be exact), so it's not really any different. And we've discussed this amongst ourselves before too, and we agreed that just because a couple is married, doesn't mean they have to modify their behaviors in a major way. There were some small things that we had to change, yes, but it's stuff like saying "wife" for me, and "husband" for her, instead of girlfriend/boyfriend or fiance.
So yeah, it's not really that big of a deal for us to get married, at least not in a dramatic life changing way. It was life changing when we started falling in love with each other, which was a long time ago, and getting married was just a way for the both of us to show our commitment to each other.
Oh and Mrs. Understeer says hi to you all.
