And make your own covers in a matter of seconds.

Just print out the image you want and cut it to the right shape using the stencil. I just had to to a TLK one :D

But to do the Light text thing i have shown you, i had to put a diffrernt cover on.

The crazy thing is, i never asked for a phone, It was a complete suprise, and a bloomin good one :D

oh, now that is awesome :D

Hehe :cheese:

If anybody is interested its the

Nokia 3220, with Xpress-ON Fun Shell (the light thingy)

An acoustic/electric guitar with a built in tuner, and it came with a case.

Guitar strings.

A guitar chord thing.

A PotC mouse for the computer.

A Swiss Mouzer ((it's coming late, possibly Three Kings Day))

A 70's jacket and t-shirt with a Prussian Lion on it. Except the lion is sitting, but it's Prussian according to my father. ((shrugs))

My brother got Call of Duty Finest Hour and my dad got MoH Rising Sun. I was jazzed. My sister Jess wanted me out in Russia for Christmas, and I went the day after Christmas. My brother let me take CoD F.H.
Man I'm having a field day lol.

Very niiiiiice phone TL!

Mmm.. Aside from tons of glittery clothing, I got the F.E.A.R. game [very scary], Transformers: Beast Wars Season II box set, the Nidhiki and Nivhawk/Dume Bionicle figures along with some books, and the Ace Combat 5 game and soundtrack, straight from Japan. I say I'm pretty entertained for a loooong while.

Utora, CoD and MoH are sweeeeet games. Enjoy to the fullest!

An Ipod Video, among other things. Now, I know quite a few people got iPod Videos, at least on lilymud, so here's a few helpful hints based on what I already knew about iPods and what I've learned:

1. Make sure "Use as Disk" is enabled for your iPod in the Edit: Preferences selection in iTunes. This makes it so your computer can communicate to your iPod without going through iTunes.

2. You can store text files for reading later on. I'd suggest using one of the many free utilities on the net that break text files up and link them when they're on your iPod so that you can have very large text files.

3. You can add DVDs to your iPod. Personally, I use Xilisoft's iPod conversion suite, but you can do it with free software also. If you're running on a Mac, just download the program "Handbrake" and read a quick tutorial on how to use it. If you're using windows, get DVDx 2.3 and a free avi to mov conversion tool, then read a tutorial on what to do from there. If you have a lot of DVDs, I'd highly suggest a program like the ones made by Xilisoft, as they're much much faster (20 minutes to convert instead of 5+ hours on DVDx). If you order off the internet, always look for a verisign insignia and click it; I've noticed quite a few sites offering DVD to IPod conversions are faking their verisign validation. If it's just a picture and not an actual link back to verisign, it's counterfeit and that website should be avoided.

4. Resist the urge to install things that would void your warranty. Yes, there's actually programs out there that'll allow 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation iPods to show pictures and videos (in black and white for 1st-3rd), but they can very easily destroy the iPod and will definately void your warranty.

5. Get a case for the iPod, that'll be the best $30 you can spend on it.

6. Use music from iTunes. Yes, you can easily use music from other places, but iTunes is made for the iPod, makes things much much easier, and frankly, it's pretty damn cheap to buy songs ($.99 isn't bad at all). Of course, if you already have that music, don't download it again, but if you want new music, that's the way to go.

7. With the iPod Video (5th Gen Ipod), you can download all kinds of music videos, movies, television series, and podcasts. Take advantage of the video capabilities.

8. Don't be afraid to use your space, you'd have to put a hell of a lot of media on an Ipod 30 gb(let alone a 60 gb) to use up all that space; if you do manage to do so, either clean out your iPod a bit or buy a new one.

9. Video drains your battery very quickly (about 2 hours on a full charge). Look into getting an extended battery accessory if you view videos a lot.

10. There's tons of accessories; most are actually pretty unnecessary, but still fun. Check 'em out, there's bound to be something that you'll like.

I don't think there's actual full-length movies available yet. I think they're planning that for later on, but as of now, I haven't seen something like the Lion King or whatever from iTunes. But that's just referring to iTunes.

Can i add a word of warning to pntbll248 advice, many of my friends have accidently done this.

If you have re-formmated your computer (wiping the computer out and make a fresh start), then your itunes library is empty, dont sync your ipod with the empty libary because all the songs/video's stored on the ipod will be wiped out too.

I heard that the F.E.A.R. game is good, but I didn't know that it was scary. Woah.

I got a new computer. I'll post the details later.

I think one of the best gifts I got is the friendship of everyone in Lea Halalea. Thanks for talking to me everyone! I don't feel so lonley online any more. :)

I lilke talking to everyone about The Lion King and other stuff like Disney and art and music.

Later

I think that's it.

Man, I'm late posting on this..lol..but I was busy the first week when Eva was here, and then I had Christmas and just forgot. Im at school and bored, so I shall post now!

From my mom:
1) A nice sketch pad with some nice drawing pencils.
2) DVD player.
3) Sony portable CD/MP3 player.
4) A nice black cowboy hat.
5) Star Wars Episode 3 on DVD.
6) (from my sister) War of the Worlds on DVD.
7) A Nice silver chain for Eva's pendant...sadly some stupid foreign workers at the mall put the connector on wrong, and the pendant got lost...*curses them*
8) Probably stuff I forgot.

From my dad:
1) A new motorola cellphone...forgot the model, but Ill post pics later.
2) M82A1 18 inch fluted sniper barrel for my paintball gun.
3) M82A1 Muzzle break.
4) M82A1 metal shroud.
5) M4 mag kit for model 98.
6) Olive Drab flightsuit.
7) Black, superflex knee pads.
8) Black tactical vest.
9) 4 100 round pods.
10) Olive drab delta force style helmet.
11) Camaro styled RC car.

Then I bought some stuff with the money I have/had. I bought myself a nice leopard plushie..it was only $10 but its so well made! I bought a $70 co2 pistol, looks like a Walther PPK, and then I got a buncha candy and such in teh stockings. Oh, and I got that 20 questions thing too...but he doesnt get them right a lot of the time..must be the way we answer the questions...think too hard. Then again, it isnt to hard to believe that a small, not-that-complex machine can outsmart Kivvy..lol.

Ill post some pics later...especially of the paintball stuff..cause it looks so coolness! Later!
