Let's talk about what I want for Christmas.

I want a new laptop. This gateway was a piece of shit from the get-go, but now it's making some intensely disconcerting sounds. I either want the HP Pavilion HDX or a MacBook Pro. I'm willing to make the jump to Mac -- I'm very pro-Mac. However, to be honest, really, really honest, I like Windows. I like XP. I like right-clicking. I'm so familiar and comfortable with Windows that a complete change like that would send me reeling. Maybe I need to push myself, however. Maybe it's time. I can't decide. The thing is that all of my hardware and software are Windows compatible, and I'm not sure if it's compatible with Macs. Hm.

I want a new camera. I love my Minolta, don't get me wrong, and I'm going to use it until it's no longer functional, but I need a digital camera. If I had my way, I'd get two digital cameras. Firstly, I'd get the Nikon D40X for the digital SLR I've always wanted (unless Fat Tony has a better suggestion, that is). It's compact, it's got a super fast continuous shooting mode, and large range of shutter speeds. Secondly, I need a digital camera that I can use out and about... one I can throw in my purse and not worry about, something I can take around with me. I had a Sony Cybershot once upon a time and really enjoyed it, so I think I'd stick with that for now.

What else? Oh yeah. A horrendous orange and neon green shirt that says "WHAM BAM THANK YOU STAM" from House of Holland. I want it like nobody's business. I've been trying to find that shit for nearly two years. Sigh.

Boots. I want boots. These, despite the fact that I swore to Pelowski that I would never like slouch boots (I kind of do now... wtf?). And I LOVE boots with faux-fur trim, like these, if they weren't wedges.


In truth, all I want for Christmas is the job that I interviewed for yesterday, a sweet schedule for next semester, a hair cut and color, and for all of my friends to remain safe, healthy, and awesome. AWWWWWW.
