This year two of the best gifts I received were due to the fact my mom finally woke up and realized, "Hey. Lindsay likes U2. I'll get her some U2-themed gifts." So she got me an interesting memoir by a former classmate of Bono's who claims Bono ruined his life (all in darkly comic fashion, of course), and the Best of 1990-2000 CD. I didn't have the CD already because, well, I already OWN all of the albums from 1990 onward, so that gift was sheerly want--the CD does have new mixes for several songs as well as some new work. So that made me happy. I also got the latest Harry Potter DVD.
What I really hate is when you get something you don't WANT or NEED. My mom buys me a lot of picture frames--BEAUTIFUL picture frames. But right now I have no pictures to put in them. Most of the pictures I have of my friends involve liquor, and I don't want to show off a bunch of drunk guys in a nice frame, no matter how cute both are. I'm hoping maybe my mom will get me copies of some photos to put in them, but I'm probably going to have to come up with my own ideas.
