It may not surprise you to know that I like computers. The best computer I got, I mean gift I got... oh well that ruined the suspense. I got a computer. The one I'm on right now in fact. The mule (I nicknamed it the mule because of the way the speakers look like mule ears) has served me well, and without it, through a rather complicated chain of events, I wouldn't have found h2g2.
You know, I'm only answering these questions to hear your introduction of me. I answer quickly because then I'm the first guest

This isn't exactly my actual favourite gift, but it has an interesting story behind it. Some people say that "the gift of giving is the best gift of all". I agree! Recently, I gave my help in setting up (on a Saturday morning) for a school garage sale which was organized by my French teacher, who can be a bit mean . Unfortunately, later that week, I ran into a bit of trouble (mostly procrastination) completing a French project. Because I helped my teacher out, she let me have around 3(!) extensions just because I helped out! Giving is truly its own reward.

You're wrong! Nice things are the reward of getting, and failing that, just... things. I say my computer because it's the biggest present I ever got. If I wanted sentimental value, I'd treasure the last Dilbert book I was given from my Grandma before she died. Unfortunately, I can't remember which one it is
