Mephistopheles

This is a cool topic
I got:
Two books
A handful of creams, lotions and other stuff for my super crappy skin
A "new" iPod (new because the previous one broke, but we got it second hand lol)
Some kitchen utensils yay!
And I got myself a bunch of Jiluka merch.

I love a good bag! I like to travel a lot and a sturdy and stylish bag is always icing on the cake. Your haul sounds fantastic! I am glad you received things you can not only enjoy, but things that are functional and long lasting.

My poor poor backlog....

- Herschel x Hudson's Bay backpack. I *really* wanted this, so bad, especially for traveling and if I work as a teacher. I've never owned anything from either company before. Needless to say I'm in love with it. I love the fleece lining inside. Not huge on brand names, I just wanted a decent backpack and I like Hudson's Bay's signature colours. lol Thanks, parentals!
- Holga camera, but it's not here yet.
- Some noice clothes.
- A lot of chocolate.
 
Got gift cards so going to buy a sweater I saw in H&M and also buy some decent pants because I got rid of most of my winter wardrobe.
 

I'm the type of guy who don't celebrate christmas and I don't give away christmas presents. Which means I don't receive too many either. But I got a handful of presents from people at work anyway. The best one was the gift I got from the kid I work with (2nd grader). A SUPER MARIO mug and a Bowser coaster (top right).
 
Really appreciated those. Been using them a couple of times daily ever since I got them last friday. Had to open it together with the kid who got 'em for me as he was really keen on seeing my reaction to it.
 
And I got a bag full og spekepølse (cured sausages?). Contained a shitload of different type of cured sausages, some meant to eat with bread and similar food and some meant to be eaten together with a beer. Featured a knife and a coffee mug made out of wood as well. Really appreciated this too. Can never get enough food, and this is the type of food I never get enough of. It's expensive as fuck, so I never really buy it for myself.
 
Other than that what I got was mostly crap tbh. I know my co-workers meant well and all and that is nice, but it doesn't change the fact that it's useless crap that I'll never use.

Motorola C Plus, a surprise gift from my parents, with red chromated cover! So sweet <3

Merry Christmas 2017 to all who celebrate it.
 
I thought it would be interesting to see what gifts people received or what they may have purchased for themselves? Even if it is not related to Christmas, I would love to see what people are proud of buying or things they received as gifts at any point in the year!
 
To start, here is mine and my fiance's Christmas haul from the in-laws, and the Instax Mini 9 that my fiance gave me,
 

Looks like you got a lot of cute stuff! I've been thinking about getting an Instax camera but I think I want it more for the novelty and the cute film than actually putting it to good use, so I've been lukewarm on buying one for the past couple of years.
 
My husband and I don't really exchange presents in the "traditional sense" anymore, but we went on a Christmas date that he paid most of, and while on the date we saw some winter items he could use so I bought that. Yay memories over stuff. ❤️
 
A few weeks before I'd put in an order at Sephora to get some stuff for friends, and added the Kat Von D Saints & Sinners palette to my cart. It has a lot of colors I'll get a lot of use out of at lives/events and the packaging is brilliant. 😍 (image credit @gothicbrat on Reddit)
 

 
My family, for the most part, didn't exchange because we'd already pooled quite a bit of money to attend my mom's wedding the month prior, except for my grandparents, who shopped for themselves and then sent us the bill lol... (But then later gave us double that money as our present.)
 
Overall it was pretty win-win since I didn't have much wrapping or international mailing to do, and Christmas was pretty stress free.

I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce my animal family. From left to right, I have a Blue Eyed Leucistic ball python named Mephistopheles, he is one and a half years old. Then I have an Albino Checkered Garter snake who is six years old and his name is Felix. I have a one year old male Double-Tail Betta named Flower. I have a four month old Albino Axolotl named Mochi. I have a four month old Northern Blue Tongue Skink named Kafka. I have a five year old miniature Chihuahua named Vicious, a three year old Chihuahua Dachshund mix named Sykes, and a six month old dilute calico Sphynx cat named Pixel.

Finally watched Titanic. Not as boring and long as I expected it to be. No wonder it won so many awards. 
 
Also, I finally know where A LOT of memes come from.

I have been sick a lot lately and just seeing this thread alive with Mako's face all over it is so uplifting. I can only imagine how much energy there was in that live show among the fans. I would have been crying. Thank you for updating us!

There was Arakawa-san from zoisite taking photos. She's already posted some of them on twitter and hopefully will publish some more soon. 
But I doubt there'll be a video. I saw no other cameras. 
 
 

This will always be my favorite band, so I am so glad to see a thread devoted to them. 

I wonder if they ever plan on releasing this, because I have been holding my breath for this for a year and I keep fearing it was actually released and I just missed it.

Hello there.

Hello and welcome

I wonder if they ever plan on releasing this, because I have been holding my breath for this for a year and I keep fearing it was actually released and I just missed it.

deadman, kein, Sugar, 9Goats Black Out, Girugamesh, and Amber Gris were my favorite bands before they disbanded, with deadman being my absolute favorite.
 
Furthermore I could only think of 8 bands because most of the bands I enjoyed are disbanded.
 
1. More
2. the god and the death stars
3. Hollowgram
4. KEEL
5. D
6. Lynch
7. MUCC
8. heidi.

Watched Arrival recently and I loved it. The plot was great, and the hidden message in it was so beautiful that it made me cry lol. I really recommend it! 

Heey welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay here

Ooh I enjoy Dream Theater. Welcome.
