View Full Version : What DO you want for Xmas?

Urrr.. Perhaps this has already been done and I just haven't spotted it?
Anyway, I sensed the question in your mind - the months leading up to your second favourite day of the year you've started to ask yourself a very important question for Santa -- Just WHAT is it that Emo wants for Xmas?
Well kids, I'll let you know!
An iPod would be nice, my CD player broke the other day and it would be.. Nice.
Scrubs Series 1/2 yesses.
Chuck Palahniuk stuff pleases.
A nice ol' [new] Diary where each page is dedicated to a single day.
.. And that's all.I think that's a fairly achievable list, considering my birthday is but a mere epiphany away.
YOURSELF PLEASE!

03-12-2005, 04:30 PM
^ that is the Portable Media Center, £170-£190 for a 20GB model. It's got a 10 hour (comparitive to the 2-3 hour iPod video battery) in terms of movies and it can last for well over 20 hours when playing music.
Alternativly, you can just buy a Micro, Sleek, Neeon or Touch Mp3 player. I just want something i can watch movies on.

Xbox 360 Premium Pack... :red: ...if I can find one. My mum has said she'll pay and everything so cost wise I know I can get it, its just the matter of finding one :heh:
I want an XBOX 360 and Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo. I'm also saving for trips to Italy and Latvia.
But I'll probably buy nothing this year.

At the moment the firmware's a bit iffy but by the time I get it it'll be ironed out a lot. And with the TV-out cable I'll be able to watch my anime on any TV and have a portable SNES/NES/GBC/GBA/MAME/Game Gear/NeoCD/Megadrive/yes, even PSX is being done. [Don't download roms kids!]
You can also play older games such as Pong, Doom, Doom II, Quake and Hexen on it. :yay:

Buy your own presents thats preposterous. Family/Friends buy gifts for me, I scrounge money to buy gifts for them.
I'm getting an iPod Video from my parents and an Arsenal membership from my brother. My brothers mate is getting me a Quagmire (from Family Guy) shirt.
This year unfortunately I know too much about my presents. Ah well. :santa:

thought airsoft is/has been banned, all replica guns are to be bannished, seems abit harsh but if people are using them to mod into acutal firing guns or holding up shops with them.

Not as yet, the gov is hopping to ban all replica in the vcrb bill which hasn't been put into action yet. Airsofters are hopping that the bill will exclude their guns as it would ruin the sport. There is still some hope that airsofters will be allowed to continue buying the guns as the main problem is cheap springers and blank fireings, and aeg costs a lot of money (mine was £220 by it's self and anouther £100 on bits it needs to work like battery, charger ect.) so the arn't easily available to young thugs who want to mess around. Also aeg can't be converted into real fire arms, this is a media miss conception, blank fires can and so can deactivated fire arms, but it would be so hard to convert a eag or gbp that a criminal may as well buy a illigal gun (for a lot less money), nothing on an aeg would allow it to fire real bullets, it may be an exact replica from the out side and made of metal, but it would probaly be easeir to make a block of wood fire bullets.

Been over this before but I use mom. Makes more sense. Is derived from "mother", and I pronounce it mom. Mum is ye olde fashion that has never changed, at least America got semantics more logical. They cut out all the crap and spell things how they sound. Do we need the "rough" in "through"? Its not pronounced "th-ru-h".

so how do you pronounce mother? mutha, or moh-ther? because if it's the former then it makes more sense to use "mum", and if it's the latter then you're retarded.

Although - my and my sister have 'adopted' a goat. Basically, and African family will be given a goat (bought with our money), they';; be able to milk it and have a better diet that way. The goat will also be able to fertilise some crops with its droppings and make more little goats. It feels better knowing that a family will be better off this Christmas.

No really, it's cool that you're getting an Intuos. I myself prefer the Graphire though; can't get used to the Intuos for some reason (we have one in school). Plus I got my shiney Graphire 3 all for free, so I can't complain. :D

And the DVD I am getting is Max & Paddy. Might as well, y'know. It was actually funny. The first episode was good, the one with Noddy Holder in was great, and the phrase "Snicky-Snacky-Snoo".
