UPDATE! I REALLY HOPE YOU SEE THIS!

I have a long sob story about an iPad on which I was planning to take pictures running out of batteries, and the charger going missing, and hoping I'd eventually find it, and being very very wrong, but what matters is that I'M SORRY, GIFTER, FOR NOT POSTING THIS SOONER. I gave myself a deadline of when that GOLD YOU SO AWESOMELY GAVE ME ran out, and that deadline has come up, so I was prepared to get desperate. I didn't know how to work my webcam, so I opened up my mom's old augmented reality greeting card program, but just when I had almost settled for that, I found the actual camera program it uses! And took the pictures! Sadly they aren't very good pictures! But they're very good presents! But you don't care about that! You care about my pictures!

I was worried I'd look bad in these! I needn't have worried! Not because I don't, but because... who cares!

First, I received the finest mustache it has ever been my pleasure to wear. The sunglasses are unrelated. I got them from work today and thought they looked supercool with the 'stache. "Thought?" I should say "knew." This will definitely go into my costume repertoire.

AND ANOTHER.

It is a squishable! For those not in the know, a squishable comes with the following description:

they're giant

fuzzy animals.

hug them.

AND SO I DID. A lot! We also played a few games of squishiball, because my little guy is extremely tossable.

Now, for some background, I have--not kidding--always wanted a squishable. Haven't gotten one because, one, I couldn't justify buying myself a new plushie, and two, THERE ARE SO MANY THAT MY POOR OCD COULDN'T NARROW THE FIELD. But my Santa had information I didn't--well, I sort of did, as I put it into my description. I am... a geek. So the obvious choice, for myriad reasons, is a dragon! I have named him Lucius, because Dragon -- Draco -- Malfoy -- Lucius. I'm madly in love with the Lucius from A Very Potter Sequel, so it was the obvious choice, although I don't feel that way about my squishable. I do love him, though, but it's a different kind of love.

OH. And, as I mentioned, I have been enjoying A FULL MONTH of reddit gold, courtesy of my Santa, that was sent like the day matching was completed, along with my presents, because apparently some people don't procrastinate mercilessly. This is the first reddit gold I have ever had, and I hope it won't be my last. I'll have to really amp up my awesomeness, commentwise.

This is long and rambly, but my poor abused Santa deserved a lot. I'll post this to /r/redditgifts in the hopes that s/he'll see it and think that I'm not an utterly terrible person.

In conclusion, thank you a lot, I love them, The End.
