When I am given presents, I usually cry, then attack the person. It's my way of showing gratitude.

It's actually to do with 'boredom'. A typical 19/18 year old will have grown all out all technologies, especially nerds like me.

I have a PS3, Xbox 360, 24 hours access to laptop and internet, more than 60 games. I actually have everything a 12 year would dream of sooo much.

But still I get bored easily. 'Lazyness' seems like a disease actually.
No matter how sincere and profound it sounds in my head, it ALWAYS comes out as a really wooden 'Oh my god, thank you, I love it so much!' and then I can never think fast enough to negate it by showing some genuine enthusiasm. This is for gifts I like and... don't feel so enthusiastic about, by the way.

Aftershave for an 11 year old?

The card sounds awesome though :tongue:


My obsession with fragrance began on the 22nd November 2002, my 10th birthday. My mom bought me some ridiculously strong stuff called Black Suede from Avon and i kind of loved to stink the corridors out with it.

My tastes are now more refined and my application less liberal. The girl bought me some Joop, which was and is awesome.

The card was awesome :smile:

Should I ask her for an explanation or just let it be? It's really bugging me.
Maybe she thinks you want more?

When I recieve a present from someone I always take it from them, thank them and put it aside to open later.
Then when I'll next see them, I'll thank them again say how nice it was etc.
Saves them having to see your face if you don't like it. Win/Win scenario.

I know this now, but back then i thought i was some sort of 2002 Danny Travolta when i splashed it on, i really did think i was the man while i wore it because people just used to stare at me when i wore it.

I now know they stared because i was attacking their nostrils with vehement vigour.

In my defence, we used to think that baby food was nice, as we grow we realise that eating what is slushy crap isn't nice, just like wearing Black Suede now wouldn't be nice, as opposed to Chanel Allure.

Or, WD40.

Want more what?

Want more what?


i.e. if you're friends she may think you want to take it to the next level (i.e. a less-than-platonic relationship).

Yes, that's why I gave her the present...
