Just wanting a happy 2007 more than anything else. And if we could get through it with no members of the family dying, that would be good.
I will wholeheartedly second that, Giles.
 
I'd like '07 to be a great year for me, have a good apprenticeship, be lucky in love (unsuccessful as yet :grumpy:), much better finances, maybe a good motorbike.
 
Fairly simple this year. $50 for xmas along with $100 that I earned this summer from my grandparents. From my parents, a Sprint Fusic with the 450 Fair and Flexible plan.

I'm going to order a Corsair 1GB Micro SD card since it's only like $35 w/ shipping on Newegg.
 
185 for a four bedroom, FK??? Unbelievable. It's crazy cheap in the south.
Yep. :D Our gas is cheaper too.

Now we do have $500,000 to $1 million homes, but they are two-three story fancy brown brick, glass atrium, rock garden and in-ground swimming pool in the back with exclusive use of a golf course type houses. My mom'sboss even has a putting green in his backyard.

Of course 185 is expensive compared to what it used to be. My parents bought 14 acres when they bought the land I grew up on and now it costs that same price for one acre, without a house.
 
As soon as I get enough money, I'm totally buying a Scottevest Tactical 4.0.



40 pockets ftw.
 
From my gma, which I'm ordering on Friday, will be $180 of stuff on Newegg.

AMD64 Venice 3400+ in a combo with

ASUS Mobo

Freetech Geforce 6200 PCI E 16 video card

Rosewill CPU cooler/heatsink that is combo with a wireless keyboard and mouse for $22.

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste.

Someone is building up a computer from the old stuff at work for me so I'll have something to build off of.
 
lets see.....

new speakers for my computer with a sub
some new jeans and shirts....
a new tv (for the family pretty much)
and some cash just to get whatever else i want :D
 
Is this too much cliché????
World peace, no more famine <== literally, (don't mean our good friend and highly worshipped member; famine).
Be able to cure all diseases etc....

A lot of powder snow in the Austrian Alps, so I can go skiing again.

And still my 180 miljon euro's, thank you very much :sly:
 
Who needs that many pockets ? ;)

The point is it's awesome. It's just the kind of material, style, and weight I've been looking for. The fact that it would totally eliminate my need for a backpack (well, a soft briefcase, actually. stopped using backpacks for school as soon as I hit freshman year.) is just bonus. Dude, I can carry books and notebooks in the front and a laptop or camelbak water resevoir in the back. As they say, Holler!

The Euro Millions would never go that high, because it gets cut off if it goes above 120 million. Anyway at the moment I asked for this stuff:

£40 from my Brother - For paying off my HD-DVD Drive
£40 from my Sister - For paying off my HD-DVD Drive
Southampton FC Home Shirt - My Mum and Dad is getting me this
Glass TV stand, which can take up to 50inch HDTV's, but it is going into my bedroom. :D - My Mum and Dad is getting me this.

But that's all that I asked for, however I will be getting some other stuff. However this is what I am getting for my family:

My Brother is getting - A nice clock and Bully for the PS2 (Brought for £14.99 new)

My Mum is getting a Music CD and a new Alarm clock
My Dad is getting money (Around about: £20-£25)
My Sister (She wanted a rubbish DVD, which I brought here for £5.99 online)
My Brothers Girlfriend, who is his future wife come November 07 (A music CD)
My Nan, now a widow (A box of £6 chocolates, which cost £4 to be delivered)

I know what you're thinking:

"Talk about being cheap to his family."

But it is not all that bad, because my Dad is not paying anything towards the Christmas presents.
 
Yeah. I don't need it, but it would be a hell of a lot more convenient.
Just to warn you, this was the last guy I saw with that much stuff in his jacket:

So? I'll have twice the stuff and look twice as good.
 
I'm not asking a single thing. I normally receive couple bucks here and there but that's about it. I'm not someone who likes to ask other's gift, and neither someone taking advantage of any holidays or birthdays to get what I want. Just my mentality and the way I work, if I need or want something I go and buy it myself. You say, well that's great but you've got a salary to back it up but I'm only 15...well I was working the same at that age also nothing changed. People around me know my tastes and interests so if they want to buy something go ahead and do so, but no demands will come from me. I never asked a single thing. Those kind of special days are much more to me than material stuff, but yeah maybe 95% of teenagers won't see it that way. Just my point of view but you know those relatives who always send you 20-40$ each Christmas but in reality you've only seen like once in your life and never talk with...well I find those gifts lame like hell. It's like Christmas would make the hypocrite side of people come out, and a bunch of people are suddenly acting "fake".

Giving is a daily thing, not a single yearly type of thing.
 
Guitar Hero... my friend stood in Walmart for 3 hours playing that game.

Hahahaha. Then he spent another 2 and beat the game. What a loooseeeerrr. :-P

Sprint is having "computer problems" so the shipping got delayed. I'm running out of BS flags guys. I found the phone under the mat under the tree. They were gonna pull the same trick they did when I first got a phone and my sister ruined it by giving it to me.

I have 175 contacts to re do so it doesn't matter either way... Nice phone though.
