Odd. The same thing happened to me, Renata. Blogger randomly changed my password to "1". I changed it back, of course. I wonder if anyone else had this problem... Later, when in the BadCandy chat, I encountered a bunch of people that had this happen. Oddness.

Anyway, I really cleaned up this Christmas!

From my parents, I got an MP3 player, a CD case, a car CD holder, a bunch of books (physics, art, humor, etc.), and some old theatre posters from Ten Little Indians, The Pajama Game, Aida, and Rent (I told my mom that I was going to revoke my dad's eBay privelidges, as I have no more wall space for posters). I was especially amused regarding another gift. A week ago, my dad called me, asking which version of Photoshop I had. He was pleased to learn I just had 5.5. I took this to mean that he was getting me the 6.0 upgrade. Instead, it turned out that he got me the 5.0/5.5 Photoshop Wow Book (which is incredibly groovy). I guess I'm a bit disappointed, but I adore 5.5, so it's no big deal. Plus, I'll be figuring out all sorts of groovy Photoshop secrets, so it'll almost be like getting an upgrade. I've already learned stuff, and I've barely read any. Ultra groovyness.

From Iana, I got two CDs (one with music by Bulgarian composers, the other of Bulgarian folk music. Super nifty.), a necklace, and a cross-stitched sunflower.

From my aunt and uncle, I got a lovely bracelet, some books, a harmonica, and this handy pocket indescribable thing. Coolness.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
