2005 Xmas Wish List, redux.

From a post I made last year, in response to a What do you want for Xmas thread on a message board somewhere;


-a Smart Car (eco friendly, I want the sporty coupe, convertible)
- a laptop. (i mac)
- mp3 player (creative Zen)
- Plane tickets to London and Canada.
- a few grand to blow on books.
- Hookers and blow. Ok, so I'm not ~that~ greedy. Anal will do. But he has to wear a Santa Suit and call me Ho.

The first 6 items are dispensible.


I found it today with some amusement.

I bought a car some month ago. Looked very seriously into Smart Cars, but in the end the enormous cost factor detracted from their benefits, and I wound up with a sunshine-y, screamingly bright yellow Hyundai instead. Still guzzles about half the petrol that the monster truck I drove before did, so I feel I did not totally sell out on the environmental concerns portion of this one.

The IMac. Yeah...still with a strange unexplainable desire to own an apple, but have moved on now to the MacBook Pro. And will make this one a reality in the new year. Gotta love the Australian "Salary Sacrifice" scheme...wherein you can purchase high ticket items that can be justified as partially work related by obtaining item right away, and paying for it in installments from your pay, PRE tax.

The Creative Zen. Never got it. Sort of. I made the mistake of telling the Bastard that I wanted a new MP3 player...and what does he do? Buys a Ipod for himself. Then bores of it and buys a goddamned Creative MP3 player....and wonders why I am a touched miffed at him showing off his toys. And I STILL don't have a decent MP3 player. Not that I am bitter, or anything. I've just appropriated one of his for the time being. That'll learn him.

Plane tickets to London and Canada. Check. We leave Saturday. And Have managed to throw The U.S and Bangkok into the mix, as well. Have I mentioned "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!", yet?

A few grand to blow on books. Hmmm. While I doubt I've spent quite THAT much, we've added to our collection considerably; and next month I'll be sorting through some of my things in storage in Canada and ship a number more books here.

Hookers/Blow....immediately replaced by anal on second thought. I'm pretty much guaranteed to get this one if I ask nicely. Hell, even if I demand bitchily.

Which reminds me.....I need to go shopping for a Santa Hat.

so a Santa hat is somehow equated to anal in your mind.... that makes me very happy =)

No; but I figure anal at x-mas deserves special treatment.

What should make you smile more is the realization that we will be at my Dads for xmas. And the walls are thin; but if he heres a hearty "HoHoHo" in the middle of the night, he will assume it is us pretending Santa has come.

The last four words of the last sentence is making me laugh like Beavis and Butthead. I'm such a dork

I laughed so hard a little pee came out... at most I've creatively strapped on bunny ears around Easter time but now I can clearly see how I should come to you for creative ideas on how to naughty up the holidays!
