Your life and your quest end here.


 Last year my sister gave me a little globe that, according to the packaging, "revolves with no apparent means" - which would have been fine if it were accurate, because I do like novelty things like that. Unfortunately the thing actually has an unreasonably loud motor, so it's pretty obvious how it's moving, and even without the mystery element it's too annoying to leave running.

my mormon grandma gave me the twilight series back when they were new

:negative:

when she asked later i had to pretend i liked them, and she was like "oh, i didnt think they were very good. i liked harry potter more" and i had even more regret
You don't have to pretend you liked them, just don't be a dick about it. Say that they're not the sort of thing that you'd normally read, pick out something you did like about them (and there's got to be something no matter how bad the book is) and mention that, make a comparison to something you do like. That way you show that you appreciate the gift but won't give the impression that you'd like more of the same next year.
