I am the Christmas Superhero. Sometimes I wonder what the rest of my family would do without me, considering not one major gift-giving occasion goes by without me locating and usually acquiring the receiver’s ideal present. What happens when it’s time to give gifts to me? The family gets a detailed list, and my best wishes for easy purchasing. 99% of the time I end up getting cash.
I’ve dropped off the dating radar for the rest of this year. I guess I’ll pick it up again once things settle down a bit after the holidays. Fresh slate and all that. Perhaps during the down time I can reflect on how to stop attracting only mean people and virgins and rebounders. Either that, or tweak my impossibly high standards – because it’s been four months, and Orlando Bloom still hasn’t come knockin’ on my door.
When I arrived home last night, there was stuff here. I no longer live alone. His girlfriend seems nice, as does his TV and home theater. It’ll be nice to have people around again. Perhaps prod me to be social and leave the house every once in a while. Maybe once I catch up on the sleep I’ve been missing I’ll be more motivated to venture out past 7pm.
I think once Christmas is over, I’ll buy an MP3 player. I really like having a radio option available on it, preferably AM/FM, though I’ll take just FM too. Does anyone have any recommendations? Only other criteria – it must be available at Future Shop, because I have some gift certificates to spend there.
I like the MPIO one that I’ve had for a few months.
Shannon Bentley from DailyPlanet liked the Muvo MP3. NetChick says to go with Sony (I think thats right) Let me know what you come up with… because, I want one for when I go Snowboarding solo…
Well, basically every mp3 player is available at Futureshop, so you’re in luck. I’d put off purchasing one for a while, though – the Supreme Court has just ruled against the additional levies that are put on all computer media (CD-R’s, harddrives, mp3 players, etc), so I expect the prices to drop fairly soon.
As for getting cash for Christmas, I’d love if everyone gave me cash (and that’s just what my parents are getting me). I don’t see the point of doing up a detailed list for people – then I’ll basically know what I’m getting anyway. Trusting my parents to pick up the right model of electronic device is always risky, and I don’t live in the same town as them so there’s always the burden of transport. Yay cash!
