What do you want for Christmas?
I'd like a couple multi-packs of AA batteries.

I just don't want to tell anyone what they are for. :blush:

1. I can only speak for myself...
And I think I just figured out what you want them for!

It's all good...

Don't you want the rechargeable ones?


And as to what I want...a couple of movies that are out on DVD...

My happy family around me...

And a happy day for all of us!

11. I want people that believe in Xmas bullshit
to treat each other in the manner befitting the alleged spirit of the day. I want one day where, instead of trampling each other to death to claim the latest over-hyped trinket; they show some small measure of decency to each other. Since I know that won't happen, I'll take a bottle of my favorite hundred proof liquor, my Cohen/Cave mix disc, and the comfort of my room and myself...

17. There is absolutely no material
thing that I want or need. What I truly want is for everyone who is looking for a job to become employed, and the rest of us not to live in fear that we'll lose our job.

It's a tough world right now.

69. a few million would be enough
Then I could finally go and see the places I want to visit.

And sushi would be on the menu, since Japan is one of the places I someday plan on visiting.

I have never had sushi, the first time I do will be in Japan :)

71. Dean's List...
IF i get an A on my English paper (almost a guarantee... my draft is solid, and i have an A going into this paper)
IF i get at least a 70 on my Comm final (I have not received less than a 94 on any exam in this class)
IF i get at least an 85 on my Bio final (my worst exam score in there was an 88, and i know this material much better)
and
IF i get at least a 91 on my Humanities final (ah... the toughy... the one i'm studying for harder than for previous exams)

THEN

I will make Dean's for the first time ever...

If i get a point less on any one of these, then i'll miss it by 1/10 of a point.

72. cotton kneesocks
I wear lower leg braces, so I really need these things. The problem is, they're rarely sold in Department stores. I can get them online, but they cost mucho dinero. Actually, I like socks of any kind. There's a sense of security that comes with knowing that I have a new batch of white ankle socks in my drawer. Go figure.
