It is my option is a trite expression to say- "I was amazed, I was wowed, I was blown away." It is overused but it is what I am going to have to use.

These gifts really spoke to me on various levels. So lets do a run down.

The first gifts was a book- "House and Philosophy: Everybody Lies". I love House, I own all of the dvds, I have binged watched it more often that should be legal. The character is very interesting and I can't wait to ripe through the book.

The next three things work together as one. A very nice set of pens and two books on drawing, "Human Anatomy Made Amazingly Easy" and "The Monster Book of Manga". I have wanted to learn to draw more often that not, I have ideas of comics and stories to tell with them.

Following up was a Sailor Moon plush. Again my love of Sailor Moon is well known, it was my first anime, my pride in cosplay and my joy a new season came out. This plush will go nicely with my Luna one and my other dolls.

Finally another book, "The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories". I have a love of writing (I never finish stories) and this is a book I have been eying for a while.

Overall to me these gifts are not just things but ways to improve my creativity, which is worth more to me than I can say.

PS. I love the cards for each gift.

PPS. I wanted to draw something to show off what the books taught me but so far let's just say I am working on it.
