2004 - I did the 30 hr Famine with my friends and then got the Rumours and Tusk re-issues...plus FM concert tickets

Least Favorite:
1995 - 7th birthday. It was Lion King themed except for the last present which was...pink pants. Hmmm...I was no more of a pink fan then than I am now. And of course in my family, when you got clothes you immediately have to go try them on to make sure they fit. And then someone misses them so you have to try them on again. This was a process that drove me crazy. So after the second or third time that I had to try these on I muttered under my breath "I hate these"...but unfortunately my uncle heard me. Oh...bad! I got in so much trouble and had to appologize to my pregnant aunt who had gone to all the trouble to buy me these wonderful pink pants.

Maybe it's different for boys, but I HATED getting clothes as gifts. Anything was better.
