It's here!

Or rather, at my parents'.

My dad is on the phone right now talking to me as he goes through the box.

He's mocking me.

My father is evil.

I have to wait until lilymc returns with the car before I can get it! *whimper*

EVIL BASTARD OVER THE PHONE EDIT:

DAD: "Well. This is a very nice box."

ME: "Open the box."

DAD: "There seems to be a packing slip on the top. Or is this the top?"

ME: "Open the box."

DAD: "It says 'Congratulations on your pur-something of you brand-new Gate-something com-something."

ME: "OPEN THE BOX."

DAD: *opens the box* "Oooh. Shiny." *rustling of packaging materials*

ME: "Well?"

DAD: (more enthusiastically) "Ooh. SHINY."

ME: "I just want you to know that I hate you."

DAD: "You shouldn't talk like that to people who have your Precious in their posession."

ME: "And a little bit more."

DAD: "Shouldn't you be grovelling or something?"

ME: "You do remember that Frodo almost DIES, right?"

DAD: *more rustling noises and evil laughter*
