I got home today after being bummed about finals and remembered about the SS gift. And all I can say is Thank You so much learntoswim. You got stuff I really love and complemented it with things that are entertaining and will keep me occupied for days.

-I had meant to read the Silmarillion for ages, but never got around to it. This will help me so much in actually reading this and getting some First Age lore. -The balloon animals set is awesome! I've been playing with it for the past hour and I've been deviating towards the phallic interpretation level as well.. -The cookies. The first thing I thought was whether the edible paint would turn poo different colors. But on another note, these are cookies. I love cookies. This will be fun. -And of course, the Atlas. I love maps. I love Lord of the Rings. I love big battles. I love finding out all the intricate details and reading into the backstory of things. This book has them all. I opened the pages and I was just in awe of the pure amount of awe it inspires. I can't wait to read this over and over.

You made a gloomy day into a very happy one that will be busily split between making balloon penises (read: dog), pondering about cookies, and studying maps like a cartographer.

Once again, thank you Learntoswim. And a very Merry Christmas to you!

Apologies for the quality: I have no functioning cameras except for my computer's shitty webcam
