What do you want for that certain day of the year people give gifts?

I want....

An Apple MacBook Pro with Final Cut 3.5 HD, Adobe Illustrator CS2, and Parallel Windows, so I can work on my artistic genius.school-eng101
Oh, and I want an Ipod just so I can dl all my Teena Marie and Alicia Keys songs...but I digress.

So right now, I am writing my annual letter to Oprah in Chicago for those items.


What do you all want?

1)They are sex machines...
2)They are the only ones that could possibly make jumping over the windshield of a car look effortless..

Re: What do you want for that certain day of the year people give gifts?

TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS

Seriously, I have it all worked out.  If I could get a 1% interest rate, with twenty million dollars I could draw $200,000 a year in interest, which is still over $100,000 after taxes.  That is enough money.  And then when I die I can pool it with y'all's legacies to set up the Utena Project.  The Utena Project is divided into two subprojects.  The first is the Mikage Seminar, which gives grants to the world's best psychologists and philosophers to figure out the cause of people's insecurities and how insecurity is tied to immaturity.  The second is the Ohtori Liberation Fund, which hires social critics and policy wonks to bring the Mikage Seminar's research to bear on modern civilization -- how can we, as a people, grow up?

Thoroughly pulled out of my ass, but worth doing.

I would also like a copy of Spore, but that is not happening.  Maybe next Christmas, if I'm lucky.

Oo, you're wicked smart, I wouldna thought of that.

Mm... as for what I want for Christmas... man, that's a tough one. Too much crap, I'm sure. I'd settle for an Amtrak ticket from D.C. to Winston-Salem for the 26th of November right now, though (die, Greyhound, die!).

I really wouldn't mind getting the soundtrack for Petite Cossette, the Human Crossing DVD's, several alarm clocks (what? I collect them), lots and lots of yaoi manga, the Utena movie, and several Barnes and Noble gift cards. Oh, and I wanna make out with that French exchange student etc-wankdude But that one is probably the most plausible out of all those things (I etc-love Christmas parties which involve mistletoe and alcohol emot-biggrin ).

Uhm....I'd like to not have to work that day.

The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

I can't afford to give out presents this year, though. emot-frown

A Sega Saturn and the Utena videogame would be nice. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping to get. While most people spend Christmas day trying to set up their gifts, I'll be attempting to translate mine.

But but but, the Q action figure probably has instant cocky omnipotent flirtation with Picard action. school-devil (Is there a Q? I mean, there must be if there's a Troi one.)
