What do you think you're GETTING for Christmas?
 

The greedy version of the thread...

I think I'm getting a mic stand from my parents and a few other things. I asked for some school supplies because next semester's going to be a bitch moneywise, but they changed their decision at the last minute because they want me to enjoy my christmas. My parents refuse to get me music though, which is a drag.

From friends I think I'm getting The Destroyed Room, The new Snoop Dogg, and White 1 by Sunn0)))

Why the refusal to buy you music?

Probably nothing. Maybe dinner. Ema's getting me something.

gift cards... lots of gift cards

They feel my brothers and I have far too much music. If we combined them all we would probably have about 700 CD's and about 100 records, and they think that's too much, but I really want to broaden my music taste more. You would think that Christmas is about giving for them to enjoy too...

Yeah, your parents just don't understand.

I know, and my mom says she'd be very dissapointed if she doesn't get the new lorena mckennitt album. It's a little hypocritical.

That is hypocritical. Although, does she have many albums?

Well atleast they aren't buying you school stuff. It's cool they want you to have fun.

For sure! My parents own around 75 albums, but aren't always wishing to expand their taste too much. I told them I have LOTS of albums because I LIKE music, and it's about GIVING, not about what you want to give them according to my book.

all i can say is, you can never have too much music

Yeah, if Savage Clone or gmku was their son, they'd have a fit.

I refuse to buy shit music for someone though, even if they asked for it or I know they want it. I can't bare to do it. I generally buy what I know they like/want but also what I think is neat. So that way I know I spent my money well.

and then it's nice cause you have a whole new interest to share and talk about

I know exactly what you mean. This christmas I could have bought my friend a Death Cab CD, or a Don Caballero CD, so I of course went with Don Caballero. And my friend Julie likes John Jackson and it's the only thing I could think of that I know she likes, so I got her a bag of Every Flavored Beans instead.

I think my parents are just going to give me money this year. I've asked them to do that forever. I think they are doing it this year because I want new clothes and my parents suck at buying me clothes.

I want a Nentindo Wii, but that probably won't happen because they're out of stock everywhere. (which is fine with me) So, my Mom asked me to make a list. I havent made it yet. I'll do it right now
Bad Brains Live DVD
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Live DVD
GTA: Vice City Stories (PSP Game)
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops (PSP Game)
Stooges Live DVD
Ramones Raw DVD
and probably a couple of cds.. Not much is available around here, I gotta put some thought into that

i asked my parents for gift cards, and membership in the death cab fan club.

i hope your joking

I always buy my own clothing. I go to thrift stores usually, and always come out with a nice basketful of stuff.

Terrible fashion.
