Christmas Lists

The Core RPGC Main Forum

So… what are you guys going to hope to be getting this year? Show your lists if you make them, otherwise you can… uh… list it here anyway. Not much else you can really do. Talk about stuff that’s hot, I suppose, although I never really care about that kinda stuff. shrugs

Mine is kinda long because my parents and girlfriend said that I always make too short lists, so I made it very long this time so they wouldn’t ask me again. <_<;

Holy shit. That is fucking huge.

My family asked for a very specific Christmas list, so I organized it by category (music, games, movies, misc.), by price, by priority, and by store. I also had to give images.

Christmas List 2005

High priority items and low priority items will be labeled accordingly. Some notes will be below some items, which must be taken into account.

  Video-Games

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (44.99$, can be found in various video-game stores and malls) (HIGH PRIORITY) (fig.1.a)
SSX on Tour (29.99$, can be found in various video-game stores and malls) (MEDIUM PRIORITY) (fig.1.b)
Katamari Damacy (19.99$, can be found in various video-game stores and malls) (MEDIUM PRIORITY) (fig.1.c)
God of War (40.99$, can be found in various video-game stores and malls (MEDIUM PRIORITY) (fig.1.d)
Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 (35.99$, can be found in various video-game stores and malls) (HIGH PRIORITY) (fig.1.e)

Note: There is a Resident Evil Outbreak, and a Resident Evil Outbreak File #2. I have the former, but wanting the latter. The covers are different, and easily distinguishable.

  fig.1.a			fig.1.b			fig.1.c				fig.1.d			fig.1.e
 
  DVD's

Jacob’s Ladder (price unknown, probably inexpensive) (HIGH PRIORITY) (fig.2.a)
Anchorman (price unknown, probably inexpensive) (MEDIUM PRIORITY) (fig.2.b)

    fig.2.a			fig.2.b              		  fig.3.a				fig.3.b

	
  Clothing

Long coat (price varies, mediate cost) (REALLY HIGH PRIORITY) (fig.3.a)
Chuck Taylor’s [shoes] (prices varies, probably mediate cost) (LOW PRIORITY) (fig.3.b)

Note: These shoes are a specific type of shoe. As you can see, they look different than ordinary running shoes. Also, the design is pretty important. I’d like a camo look for the shoes. There’s many different camo colors, such as greens, browns, greys, and in this case, multi-colors. I’d prefer the browns, greys, or this color. If not, do not bother purchasing.

  Miscellaneous

Microphone for the computer (prices can range from $20 to $50, can be bought at Wal-mart) (MEDIUM PRIORITY) (Image not avaliable)
Multi-tap for the Playstation 2 (about $30, can be bought at Wal-mart) (LOW PRIORITY) (fig.4.a)

  Musical CD's

Franz Ferdinand (20$, can be bought at any music store) (HIGH PRIORITY) (fig.5.a)
Franz Ferdinand (20$, can be bought at any music store) (HIGH PRIORITY) (fig.5.b)

Note: The two above CD’s are different. I do not know the titles of the albums, but they are different, and easily distinguishable by their covers. Either one will suffice.

fig.5.a fig.5.b fig.4.a

  Statistics

Total Cost of High Priority Items: 120$
Total Cost of Medium Priority Items: 126$
Total Cost of Low Priority Items: 30$
Total Cost of Christmas List: 276$

I directly c/p from the wordpad document, hence the missing pics.

This concept of a Christmas list for yourself confuses me. I thought lists were for reminding yourself what to get for others.

I get a guilt trip about whether I’ve earned my Christmas present. That is why I always say “I don’t know” whenever my parents ask me.

I’ll be using cash gifts and what I’ve saved and earmarked for a Christmas present for myself to buy one of the following:

  • Laptop: either a refurbished Toshiba or an IBM
  • Carbonex 30 MS
  • new strings and bridge for my guitar
  • upgrade my desktop

  2. Liposuction

13

I own those. Good choices!

My christmas list consisted of a new guitar amp and a lamp for my room. And I got them(early presents… it’s how things work in this part of town ya see). I don’t really make lists for christmas… My mom usually asks me what I want, I usually say something, and then I usually end up getting it. I don’t like asking for too many things.

14

I wouldn’t mind getting a really good laptop, along with a wireless broadband connection. And I’ve been keeping an eye on World of Warcraft. Someone I know found a way to help me play in the European Beta, and that made me want the game even more.

15

Nothing. I don’t celebrate Christmas.

16

Dress clothes for work. (I hate shopping for clothes.)

A framed panoramic picture of Fenway Park during the 2004 World Series.

$$$ for bills.

I don’t want much. I didn’t ask for much. And I don’t expect much.

17

Art stuff mainly.

And a book on C++ programming. >.>;;

Oh, and a bo for karate.
