So..it's been a little whiles after the holidays now, and I have finally had some time to update everyone on how my Christmas gift exchange went down.
It was such a fail!!
So in my previous blog before Christmas I had the lovely plan to get the bf a new graphics card..
What I failed to do was see his updated pictures of his computer. Failed x's 2! So poor lil graphics card back to memory express.
[image loading][image loading]
Oh man.
On the other hand I got awesome books by my all time favourite author Chuck Palaniuk. He's dark, twisted, and sick. =p So I decided to share
[image loading]
Lullaby, Survivor, and Dammed
Finished Dammed. 2 More to go!
If you like extremely twisted content and unbelievable randomness. I highly recommend all of his books. Highly addictive!
[image loading]
Enough said!

Hope everyone had a great holiday!
Love, ohsotedious

Nice! I'm sure your BF appreciated it, I would've even if it wouldn't work on my machine. Also, I like dark writers like Poe (never read Palanuik though).

Also, pics make blogs good. 5/5

You know that picture where there's a guy that wants to show an object and it's just an object and there's a girl who wants to show an object and her face is in it? Your blog reminded me of that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

Are you implying that you'd much rather look at just a book instead of a nice girl/woman?
Thats some weird fetish right there!

@OP:
Why do you think it was a fail? I didn't really get that part. I assume that you made a mistake and that it didn't fit with is motherboard or something.
Still, it is a pretty darn awesomely good present to give your bf just because of what it says as a gesture and I bet he was the luckiest guy in that moment!

You should've asked the manly men of manliness (Teamliquid) first for some gift advice.

We would've given some great nerdy manly ideas.
Stick it up. take it up. step aside and see the world

Lol...what?
I like objects!... And I liked my face?
So I guess I like sharing pictures of objects and my face. :p

The graphics card works with the motherboard.
But he just updated his graphics card. And it's one level up above the one I purchased.
Lol. So I was a little late on the update. Haha.

I'm not sure if you are planning on getting him something else instead of the graphics card. But if he's a nerd and a WoW/SC2/Dragon Age/Mass Effect/DC comics fan, you can never go wrong with one of these:http://dccomics.com/dcdirect/?cat=ACTION+FIGURES&lst=all

It's a proven fact that all huge nerds love action figures.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

To try and avoid that situation from happening again make sure you double check with his siblings or parents so they can keep you in the loop of things.
