I asked for:
food processor…How betty fucking crocker am I going to get?
Flatscreen computer monitor for my desktop because not only is the current monitor HUGE but it ripples so badly that it hurts my eyes.
Some sort of digi music player to take to the gym.
I asked for some of my parents’ airline miles to go out to Colorado, but they shot me down.
I’d like to ask for a ticket to Langerado, but my parents would rather give me money than be cool and buy me festival tickets.
This is actually the first christmas in a LONG time that I haven’t said “Just give me money and I’ll get what I want”. I don’t remember the last time I had more than one present to open. Unless it’s something they want me to have, they won’t buy it for me, lol.
incidentally, money will buy you those Langerado tix.
^yes but it’s totally not the same 
::buys ticket to Colorado::
well I have to send my list to all the members of the fam, we did like a pollyanna drawing thing, so I have no idea which family member has to buy me gifts.
I have to buy gifts for my sis, and either have them direct shipped to Fl. or to get them, then have to package them up, wrap them, then send to Fl.
pain in the arse
she usually comes home for x mas, this year just won’t be the same
oh well I guess, nothing I can do about it, just gotta rollll with the punches
go with the wrapping/sending them yourself. you’ll feel good about it in the end. i always loathe the shopping/wrapping process, but giving the gifts you put a little time and effort into is always a rewarding feeling.
