Thank you

a nice leather-covered notebook to use as a travel journal on my upcoming asian adventure. That's it really! Also some good times with my family and bf.

Peace on earth.

No, seriously, fucking wars are getting me down. I have pretty much everything I need apart from a Maserati and I won't be getting one of them so let's just everyone be nice to each other for a couple of days. Is that too much to ask for?

BOMP- SAVING THE WORLD ONE RECORD AT A TIME (a book)

you know, i have no idea. usually i buy myself stuff for christmas, because it's easier that way. but this year i can't think of anything i need / would like.

might buy a new bedroom tv in sales afterwards as the one i have has blutac holding the little door on and all the buttons are numbered wrongly because button 1 doesn't work. and reception is terrible. but am unsure as to what to do with the old one after buying the new one. you can't just throw these things away anymore (there is no 'away').

The last time I inherited a telly, I put the old one (it was a relic I admit) down next to the bins in my block of flats with a sign on it that said 'adopt me! I still work! I just need a little time to warm up' and it was gone within the hour.

do i recall you actually posting up a picture of said telly on the street, gem?

well i'd love a playstation 3, but it's never going to happen and i'll just buy one for myself after chrimbo

xpost - ummm actually! I think I might have! I remember taking a photo of it anyway.

CJ - holy crap I've been looking for something exactly like that, I didn't think they existed. £200 eh, hmmm...

Cheaper than that on ebay, sometimes :)

the WEEE regulations that came in last year say that retailers should take the thing you're replacing and deal with it properly. how this works when said retailer is Argos i don't know. have spent 20 minutes looking how lbhf deal with things and the answer seems to be 'take it to wandsworth and dump it there'. (there's a public dump there, this isn't just lbhf encouraging me to flytip over the county border).

i remember the 'tv left on the street' thread, including the little puddle of tears that was left on the pavement after it went.

I want the baby jesus to give me a magic teleportation device and/or a solar powered dirigible so I never have to set foot in an airport again.

oh god yes

tracer possibly thinking of this thread: So i am going to put my super old TV out on the curb. i think. maybe. now.

haitch is OTM

Boyfriend back to full health, flatin north London, digital camera.

'flatten' north London

haha merry xmas ilxors from Anna

Do try not to disclose the extent of my evil plans online.

same thing i want every year: everything

Top-to-bottom kitchen renovation (or better yet, a condo matching my lengthy wishlist)
New car

1. Bicycle workstand
2. Boyfriend back

I put the workstand first seeing as how it's about four hundred percent more likely.

you could put a shirt on the workstand when you're not using it, and stand up it lengthwise

We could do a little waltz.

Ouch, Laurel. This is the time of year all of my relationships to date have fallen apart, and it really sucks. Take care.

External hard disk
Delay pedals too hideously expensive even to ask my parents for, especially since I haven't touched the guitar for months (and could never play anyway)
Six hours extra every evening to play with all my shiny new gadgetry and/or catch up on general titting around on internet, read some of those oldfangled papery things I hear also contain words, play the game I got last Christmas and haven't found more than a couple of hours for yet

Yeah, thanks -- sorry for the emo moment!

Grandad out of hospital and a coffee maker please.

a job

I'd quite like that Miles <i>On The Corner</i> box set...

You and me both

Big ticket items:

external hard drive
cordless hammer drill
shotgun
rowing machine
bookshelves

recluse in the making there

Smaller items:

a whole lot of bouncy balls
a six pack
a compass

xxp: I see it as more general, around-the-house, family type stuff...

so much this year:
books
music
keyboard
decent knife
bed frame & slats
hot pot
frames for some prints i got last year

i suspect i will actually be getting things along the lines of huge bags of rice and flour. that's how worried my family is about my well-being. i can buy food! i'd just like equipment to cook it with!

lol don't feel bad maria, i am asking for health insurance $$$ for xmas this year.

I want sleep & Bloody Marys. Also there are about 46 t-shirts I want, but I have too many t-shirts (I know I am getting at least one though).

i wd also like a shotgun for xmas

maybe you should ask for a new keyboard too?

yeah lol i don't know when i started with these ridiculous abbreviations :(

tip: don't ask for a "shtgun" otherwise you might get a blunderbuss loaded with excrement...

haha tehresa, health insurance is what i'm asking the state of massachusetts for! the government can be my santa. i hope yours works out.

That ex I wanted back last year has been very chatty lately. It's probably nothing....

"those two hours of my life back"

a real bed, with a pillowtop mattress and a nonstop supply of fluffy pillows.

lady should just buy a box of tiny leopards

("christmas")

JB, I hope you get it! My down bedding and splurging on sheets has been some of my smartest shopping ever.

i don;t actually want tiny leopards or actual tiny leopards

A nice, electric kettle for my office. I am nothing without tea and rehydrated soups.

skinny jeans

I want actual tiny leopards. Or jaguar babies (a.k.a. were-jaguars).

rekkkkids

a spice rack

Princess Snowflake, immortalized

I honestly can't think of anything - if I want something I usually just buy it. I can think of some stuff I wouldn't mind having - XBox, Rolex watch, iPhone, etc. - but I don't really care about them.

Also a salad spinner. Looks like fun.

salad spinner = great fun. <3 Oxo

wire dvd boxset.

I want a boyfriend, I want a boyfriend, I want all that stupid old shit like letters and sodas.

you don't need a boyfriend to buy soda!

No, but it'd be someone to take charge of the second straw.

...and that's what I want, and that's what I want, and that's what I want for Christmas

I would just like one good night's sleep.

donna rouge do you have a particular spice rack in mind?

one that possesses the ability to hold my spices is all i need, really

A great big thesaurus.

I am impossible. I want very few things. Other people could not guess what these things might be, for I have hermetic tastes. Finally, I generally get them for myself.

My wife would slit her wrists at Christmastime, if she hadn't already come to grips with this sad state of affairs. Luckily for her, I am happy with any well-meant gesture and exclaim happily over it when I am presented with it.

Blowjob and that fancy soft drink you can only seem to get a cafes which costs a fortune despite only being 250mL.

twoo wuv.

No, but it'd be someone to take charge of the second straw.

causistry's bf: I DRINK YOUR SODA!

To finish my 1.5 years overdue thesis so I can hang out with friends more often

I don't even like soda that much! It would just be for the sharing.

I am a touch tweeeeeeeee of late.
