That's really freakin' awesome, Serissa. I used to be really obsessed with dinosaurs when I was a kid. Now I want one of those. My parents probably couldn't afford it, though.

Whenever someone asks me what I want for Christmas I always ask for "world peace" ( or "whirled peas").

My ex used to try to buy me clothing. Disaster ensued....

SERIOUS EDIT: Never get me a "surprise". I hate surprises. I need to know what I'm getting. Thankfully, my mother is starting to get used to that and so I tell her the main gifts I want and she gets (or orders) them. Of course, SHE loves to surprise me :roll: --I guess one has to indulge parents-- and so she gets me a little surprise, too, to keep her happy.

THAT'S the part that makes me nervous. If it isn't the most wonderful thing in the world, I have a hard time pretending it's the most wonderful thing in the world and then I can see she's disappointed. So I always try to practice "wonderment" beforehand. Just in case.

Ergh.

It's just that his sleigh and reindeer don't have armor and countermeasures to defend against old soviet missile batteries and AA guns. Plus Santa doesn't have the vision or reflexes to doge tracer fire anymore.

Lets give it a little thought...

How about a PCR machine?
A radio-controlled air-plane or helicopter?
Some electronic components?

Books! Several of them! So many that I collapse under their weight! And my CISCO certification. And some CDs. And an apartment.

To be alone. How is that for a gift?

Happy Hannukah everybody!

A Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull revolver with a 7.5 or 9.5 inch barrel.

A Soviet TT-33 Tokerev pistol, one of the originals chambered in 7.62x25mm.

A Walther P38 or P1 (basically the same thing).

A Motorola Razor V3 phone, or just about any cell phone would be nice.

Buy the Fredom Arms instead of the Ruger. It's a MUCH nicer piece!!

Ah! So I'm not the only one who practices acting suprised before christmas! I like suprises, but it's hard for me act really happy about something that *isn't* the greatest present in the world. I wish I could...this inability always seems so selfish to me, but I can't, so I try not to worry too much about what I can't feel and focus on making other people happy. I much prefer giving to getting, giftwise.

As to what i like-BOOKS!! ! always, always, always books. and CDs I don't already have (I have a huge amazon.com wishlist). Clothing is nice, if you know enough about me and what I like/don't like. That's all I can think of, however I very rarely get books or music for christmas, only about half of my gifts are clothes and I am almost never disappointed by the things I get, so there's obviously a lot more that I'm forgetting.
