I don't like Krimbo any more - it lost all it's magic for me when I was about 10. I could just be getting old and cynical (at 19! Erk! :nervous: ), but it depresses me. It's supposed to be a happy time, where you have fun and see the people you love - even if they are pushing 80 and completely and utterly bat**** crazy (my Scottish grandmother). Instead, I feel miserable, hoping to have a good time but knowing it'll just be another lonely, isolated holiday for me. It's my own fault, but I can't do anything about it.....
As long as there's a list, here's some of the stuff I'd like:
>A freestanding target bag (nowhere to put one on a wall)
>A clue of what to do at University
>The rest of Megadeth and Iced Earth's back catalogue
>Laser eye treatment (I hate wearing glasses)
NOTE: I don't want this to degenerate into another one of those threads, so please don't anyone respond to these next two points. If you don't want to read something political, or if you feel you'd have to respond, then DON'T read them. Admins, can you police this and delete anything that derails the thread, or delete the points if necessary. Thankyou for your time.
>People in Israel and Palestine to stop, look at what they're doing, and realise what a complete ****ing waste it is to keep blowing the **** out of each other in a stupid tit-for-tat retaliatory fashion, and sort out a lasting peace. Preferably by telling all the politicians to get bent and starting again, but anything will do. It's a farce....
>The Americans to mind their own ****ing business, and sort their own country out before trying (and failing miserably) to sort out other peoples' countries.
>The ability to overcome my irrational but hugely powerful fear of people.
>Some more obscure heavy metal on vinyl, to justify the £120 I spent on that turntable a few months back :nervous:
>To develop my chi kung to a decent level.
>Going Postal, the new Discworld book.
>£3000 to finish my PPL (private pilot's license)
OK, there's not much there that you can just go and buy, but they're some of the things that would make me happier....
