Aw man, we didn't get an internet connection 'til like 2000. And to think that I'm as adept as I am now. I think we had one before, it was just very crappy, dial up, I'm too young to remember it, and I don't think we were aloud to use it... Anyways, we used to get roms trafficed to us by my uncle. And then he became an accountant. And then got married. And then had a kid. As you can guess he is no fun anymore  |

What else do I not want for christmas... oh yeah, TREES. Specifically, the musical trees at work. The solution? BUY THE MISERABLE TREES AND DESTROY THEM!  Oh yeah. Plus I'll do rainchecks, et. al., so that nobody can put trees out on the floor. There will NOT be decorations at my work. There will NOT be holiday music at work. I will stop this madness. >_>" Before I myself, go mad. This is war. |

Yeah, everyone married with children is totally boring and certainly not up for having fun. Back to the internet talk - we had a baud modem for our ST that required you to dial out to some servive provider in America. As the internet was full of monochrome BBSs then we didn't bother with it again until the DC  |

At least you got games now. When I was 14, there wasn't even internet. We played stuff like hide and seek back then. Life was so much simpler. You're making it sound like a bad thing. Hide and seek > Internet. I'm very sad that I waste so much time on the Internet, it's usually really boring too. I'd much rather play hide and seek with my friends. Although something tells me they wouldn't want to participate. Most people seem to be insecure in their maturity or something, and refuse to act like children every once in a while. |

I used to be a child at heart, but I've learned the hard way that I had to grow up real fast. Of course, now that I'm grown up, I wonder why I bothered; I hate people. So eh... guess I could be childish and still hate people.

Woah woah woah, I was just messin'.
Heh, I'm barely a teenager and people make fun of me for my "action toys". Get real, Transformers and Gundams, and GI JOEs are hte coolest shit ever. I just dislike when people think they're all mature and have seen it all just because they've "done it" or "smoked pot". That doesn't make you mature. Au contrair quite the opposite actually. Fucklores.

I like Gundams, but I am not a real big fan of Transformers toys. The models on the other hand, are pretty damn cool.

Yeah, pretty much. It is 100% retarded concentrate. It has something to do with the idea that I already have enough video games, or something. To be honest though I'm prolly the most inconvincienced in the house: I can only play any games or the computer for 1 hour a day, and I'm not aloud to have my videogames hooked up in the living room. Instead, I must keep them in a cramped hallway upstairs, without furniture and only have them plugged in while I'm using them. You know... your life reminds me a lot of my poor cousins'. Their parents are REALLY strict and proper and they're not allowed getting more than one game a year (or playing more than one hour in a week). :'D (Go paint! It'll take up your time, and later you can sell the stuff, make moneys and buy games!)If it helps, I'm still not able to keep any console plugged up and ready to use, either! Though, its more because of my maid of DOOM rather than any other reason. :'D Man I remember when Internet became a household thing. Our first computer was some shitty Pentium II, and by today's standards, it was a hunk of junk. When everyone was zipping around on their Pentium III's the first computer that got dumped upon me by my family was the crappy old Pentium I! DDD: So mean of them.  And I actually did everything, everything, EVERYTHING on it until four years back, when I finally earnt enough to buy myself this one. *lived in the medieval ages* Internet though, I know we got got that in our house really early. Sometime in the early 90's? My dad loved to poke around with such stuffs. Naturally I wasn't allowed near it though. What else do I not want for christmas... oh yeah, TREES. Specifically, the musical trees at work. The solution? BUY THE MISERABLE TREES AND DESTROY THEM! Oh yeah. Plus I'll do rainchecks, et. al., so that nobody can put trees out on the floor. There will NOT be decorations at my work. There will NOT be holiday music at work. I will stop this madness. >_>" Before I myself, go mad. This is war. Why the Christmas tree hate? They're so pretty and sparkly. Magical, almost! |

Pretty? Sparkly? It's the ones that play music that I hate. Which is why I intend on buying them and disposing of them, one after another. Bad christmas memories are relevant to my hatred for bad christmas melodies, and bad christmas melodies are relevant to my hatred for horrid christmas music trees.
It was the day I began to stop trusting people, and ultimately, I'd let all the wrongs fester inside of me until I became angry and bitter, like so. I was just about to have a breakthrough and try giving people one more chance, but the christmas trees playing music... >.O" Oh, they reminded me of something that I should never have forgotten. Yet I want to destroy them, because they remind me.
It's a beautiful story, don't you think?

I guess... I can kind of relate to that explanation. :'D Its horrid when something comes along and turns something that might have been nice into something dreadful. Meh.
(Though, my experiences are no where near as traumatic as yours so I probably have no rights to say anything!)

My parents tried to limit my gaming time when I was younger, and it was to save my grades. I always found ways though, and Gameboy was ingenious for that very reason. I remember sticking a flashlight under my bed, so I could play Gameboy at night. Good times I tell you.

I did that too once, when my dad punished me for something and made me go to bed at 6 pm! I refused to sleep, so I tried to play Game Boy in the dark (it was winter time and already pitch black outside and by proxy - inside), using a flash light. It was futile. Gave up after a few minutes and went to sleep after all. What else to do? |

It was all about planting the Flash light on your shoulder. I wish that indiglo Gameboy came out here.

Hmmm....
Well, last year my grandmother got sick and we spent Christmas in the emergency room... that was a pretty terrible present, so I guess not that again.
As far as things that we can put a price on (sorry grandma), I'm gonna have to with anything that would be embarassing on tape. We film every Christmas, so something like Pokemon Red version is a no no. Everyone knows I like blue.

I told my family that I don't want anything for Christmas, I always feel bad when people get me things :/
I really don't want anything for Christmas though.
I'd be happy if my mom and step dad can go one holiday without arguing to the point where it makes my mom leave for the rest of the day.
