Dec. 21st, 2006 12:45 pmFOUR DAYS ZOMG. Christmas might not be as exciting now as it was when I was in elementary school, but I am still a little kid in that all I have been thinking for the past few days is ZOMG WHAT'D YOU BUY ME YOU CAN TELL ME I PROMISE I'LL ACT SURPRISED!!!!!
Maybe the reason I feel like Christmas has appeared so randomly this year is because I haven't been wasting away in anticipation like I used to when I was little ... ? So it's like, oh, hello, I wasn't expecting you here!
Speaking of not expecting someone, there is a commercial playing on TLC for their show American Chopper (please don't ask me how many episodes of that show I have seen, I am loathe to admit it) where the boys crash a family's Christmas celebration and demand presents. The dad hands over his kid's controller, Mikey asks "And the console?," the dad hands over the console. Except the controller is for a GameCube and the console is a PS2!! And the weird thing is, I am more annoyed by this than my brother is. But what the heck!! Even if the props guy doesn't know a thing about game systems, how do you end up mismatching them like that? You'd think controller and console would be sold together, right? Haha, or is there some joke that I'm missing? I just think it's funny that I believe myself to know the absolute bare minimum about video games and then the barely noticeable mistake in this commercial gets me all riled up. Hahaha!!
As betaraider pointed out, when you're little Christmas is exciting because you're getting a whole whack of stuff you can't get on your own. But now that we're all older and in various states of having jobs, it's like, oh, I want that. I think I'll buy it. End of story. So I made sure to ask for stuff I would feel guilty buying for myself. XD
Last night my dad and I went to the local grocery store to get a Christmas tree in order to make my brother happy. There were like five tiny trees left and no one was even guarding them. XD;; My dad's bright idea was in order to prevent needles from infesting his car, he would carry the tree home himself. And so ... he did. It was pretty funny. Except he kept stopping suddenly so I walked into him like six times. This was after I got both of my gloves simultaneously caught in my jacket zipper, ahahahaha, I am awsm.
I think I have to go to the mall today. Guess how excited I am about this. :(
