Well see the thing is, I like about 2-3 Asian horror movie tops and the funny thing is I know my friend's tastes well but I don't think he knows my tastes as well. I think he got me this because he loves the movie and thought I would. Normally, I don't try to sound ungrateful, but I was seriously surprised when he got me it.

And after seeing it, I just knew right away I cannot possibly stomach to seeing this movie again. It has a great package and my friend didn't seem to be bothered by the fact I didn't love it like he did, but I just get the impression he buys things without thinking. He works full time and I don't which is probably why he's able to buy things on whims.

I can't afford to fork 100 bucks on random anime I haven't seen or researched about with my salary as is, he can though. I know its the thought that counts but at the same time, I really don't want to lie either and I didn't try to say "take it back" or anything. This whole gift thing is just a very hard situation to deal with.
