Christmas Meme I got tagged with
As a regular commentatorial type individual on Possummomma's blog ( Atheist in a Minivan ) I was tagged with this.  If any of my two readers feel like continuing it, go for it.

1. What was the best gift your received ever?
Hard to say, but the one I definitely got the most mileage out of is a sketchbook I got at least ten years ago.  It's in the cabinet above my head, the cover barely hanging on and stuffed full of character sheets and the Generic Destinies ruleset.  (BTW, best RP system ever.  Easy to build, fun to play, and only as sheet-bound as the GM likes it. http://www.freewebs.com/fatealerion/gd/gdsetup.htm Plus, the linux nerds will like that it's basically open-source)
2. What was the worst?
These...shirts my relatives keep getting me every year.  These things are like sweatshirts, but thinner.  They're not ugly, but not really my style either.  They never see me wear them, yet they kept getting them for me.  The worst part is that, were they actual sweatshirts, I might have worn them.  It gets cold in Minnesota.  Obviously, that doesn't sound too bad (especially compared to this: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/comedy-goldmine/worst-christmas-presents.php ) but it got annoying that I kept getting those instead of stuff I actually wanted, or at least gift cards/money.
3. What's the best gift you've given someone else?
Has to be the set of Harry Potter books I gave one of my cousins.  She was reportedly scared by them at first (raised Catholic), but now loves them and is nearly as big an Anime geek as me.  Thinking of that, When I get my tax returns, I should send her a set of Copic markers.  They're expensive, but she would definitely use them well.  (I'll admit I'm no artist, but I do like to do tech sketches.  CAD class was easily a favorite)
4. What's the worst?
Can't really think of one.  When I can afford to give gifts, they're usually at least an attempt at being something they'd like.  At least I never shop at the dollar store, convenience store, or liquor store.
5. What did you get this holiday season?
I'm nearly 1000 miles from my closest family, so all I've received so far is a $25 check from my Grandma.  It was really nice since I was out of toilet paper and nearly out of beer and stuff to put in my coffee.
6. Where did it fit on the best to worst scale (best being 1 and worst being a 10)?
About average.  A nice boost when I could use it, but not really anything I can spend on much more than I got.
