One awkward thing for me is buying presents, I always like to wrap the present and put a card with it, which is usually fine except with Kayla's presents

See I often get her electronics, like say, a video game, but because of region locking I need to get an American copy so usually I get whatever it is sent to England from America via Amazon.com, then wrap it up here and send it off via the post. At least for Birthdays and Christmas.

Which reminds me, I need to look into anniversary presents...

I hate region locking xD
I regret nothing so much as not buying a Japanese 3DS instead of North American

Region locking is just annoying and feels rather pointless to me, what benefits does it bring to anyone?

I'm really curious, what is the reason for it, to google

some reasons
A) some countries like to "improve their economy" with outrageous import fees, and thus do not want people to be able to buy things cheaper on ebay because it hurts local businesses (despite it actually being the fault of the government for such crazy import fees)
B) some countries are better at piracy than others
C) sometimes the "parent company" (the one that own the system) wants to enforce a fee to other companies who should wish to make games for their system (which is kinda nasty and in the end bad for business, but some do it anyway)

You know, stupid things like that makes me understand why Anarchists exist. I mean really, why are the dumbest and greediest people on the face of the Earth always the ones on control?

yep, the people in charge of the economy have no idea how to run it, and instead just invest in everything making themselves richer the more stuff they ruin
or rather, thats the USA government, our government is just to damn lazy so they copycat everything the American government does

But seriously our economy/bankers/political system in the western world is messed up and clearly isn't working perfectly like many would wish

But enough of that depressing doomyness, I just found a base for one of my models that's been lacking one for the longest time

Really, Ritu, Why would you always ask anything, every single thing? I'm seeing this as post-farming, obviously.
